Final game needs a map voting system, I didn't get to play on mars during the Iron Banner.

Can anyone give me some tips for PVP because I'm getting killed like it's nothing. I feel like they're killing me way faster with their weapons than I am when I damage them.

Remember that some may be using heavy weapon ammo, those large machine guns are brutal. I don't know if there is a way to tell if they are using heavy weapons, would be nice, or increase the recoil on those...

But it just depends on the situation for me, automatic weapons tend to fuck me over at close range.

Got all the Iron Banner Emblem, Shader, Hunter cape, and Legend Ship.

Aiming for Titan sash tonight. Work at 4 am, so I guess I'm getting 4 hours of sleep.
No gym tomorrow so sure.

They already said all the Legend loot from Iron Banner would carry over.

Sorry if I just missed it someplace obvious, but where did they say this? I got the cloak but wasn't going to bother trying to get the ship, but if it will carry over to release, then I'll keep trying.

Am I the only one who absolutely hates the moon crucible map? I simply can't stand playing there. The turrets, the vehicles, I hate them all. To make things better, all the matches that I am getting tonight are there too.
Yes I am kind of pissed LOL.

It's terrible the vehicles have no balance at all and with the lack of Voice chat playing with ransoms makes it even worse. I had fun playing with my buddy earlier but playing solo I'm about done after 3 matches.

I can't play a 30fps multyplayer game it's so slow. I'm probably gonna stick to story and coop pvp seems to be a bust.

I've reaally been enjoying this beta. Can't wait to hear how big it will be at retail.

One question, I'm having a fireteam with 2 friends, but they cannot hear each other, but I can talk to both of them, anyone knows the reason of this?

Tiny capture points (here, have a nice cup of shotgun to the face) and OP vehicles. At least the vehicles would probably be fixed at launch, the tiny capture points I doubt...

Anyone good with a controller got any good tips for playing better? I'm fucking awful with one these days

When I played on PC a lot, lower controller sensitivity helped at first, also try to aim for the head all the time, it will make your finesse aiming easier in general.
 
Ok, I love the concept of Iron Banner. I like that it lets you really put your gear to the test in PvP.

I didn't like the matches I played during the first session because the machine gun I normally use for PvP was on 33 and I was getting wrecked with it. Then I started using a 47 hand cannon and still got wrecked.

Now i'm using my 57 scout rifle and i'm WTF killin. I didn't want to use it before because I remember people saying how terrible it was but this thing KILLS. Hopefully it works just as well in regular PvP

I think I'm done for now. Everyone on my team had over 20 kills while I had three. I'm just useless here for some reason, though maybe it's just that I'm terrible. I got a ship out of it for some reason, though I certainly did nothing to deserve it. I just don't understand how to do better.

You shoot them and you don't get shot. Also use radar.

Keep working on it. I'm still pretty terrible but I think I'm getting better. I once had 0 kills and 1 assist :D

And as DNAbro said, use the radar. I die 50% of the time because I don't realize someone is right behind me

I carry my team in 5 games straight and get fuck all while the guys with 0.X K/D's and less captures get the legendaries.

I mad.

fired zero bullets in the orphanage.
I really hope they have a way to just return to the tower from a mission complete screen, instead of going back to orbit just to go there. The loading is definitely grating.

Is anyone still in an Iron Banner version of the Tower?

I just got 1K glimmer to spend on something from the NPC...

Invite PSN ID OutlawOcelot plz :)

Radar has fucked me a few times, sometimes I focus too much on it and get caught by other people.

I make sure to keep my physical line of sight on longer ranges in case someone tries to fusion rifle or snipe me.

Also depending on the map, different play styles work better. On the mars map, i notice i absolutely dominate cause their so many pathways to take in the air and I'm a warlock. That tactic doesn't really work well on moon.

What's the quickest way to make some glimmer? I'm broke but I want that cape.


I need to sell some space drugs.

Events during Exploration usually dole out a good chunk of change, especially the Warsat defense bits, as they throw lots of yellow enemies at you that drop glimmer like it's going out of style.
 
So I made a black warlock chick and the skin tone is awful. She looks 10 shades darker than Westley Snipes.

Bungie is racist!


The character creator preview is so different than how they appear in game. It's disappointing.

As far as how to make quick glimmer...there isn't a real fast way..

BUT I do know a steady way to make 50 consistently over and over.

If you go to explore mode then head to the "rocket" area for the name. It's where you go where the fallen and the hive are fighting before the devils lair stuff.

There is an area rigth before you go in where there is a bridge and water underneath for a puddle where a bunch of Hive are. Two knights.

A little to the right of that is an area that can spawn two yellow named Knights for the Fallen. If you kill one it gives 25 glimmer.

Other times there is mini Sepiks Primes there. Basically if you keep wiping out the Hive below the bridge, then back up for those Fallen, you can bounce back and forth fast and if you're lucky you'll get 50 each time if the mini robo eye doesn't pop instead.

He touched the black heart of a mod
Anyone else annoyed at how difficult it is to make headshots without aiming down the sights? It seems as though there's a much much wider window of what constitutes a headshot when you go ADS.

Also, the sniper rifle is OP in multiplayer. Should have all auto-aim removed.
