I guess those that own the DLC won't be getting anything extra like before with the trick sparrow. But that would be cool if they introduced a new set of type sparrow.

i got heart of praxic fire from xur's chest engram, but only have a hunter. should i start from zero with a warlock just for this y/n
I started a warlock a couple weeks back just because I already had 3 or 4 exotics and a bunch of blue/purple gear for that class sitting in my vault.
Having a 3rd class for nfalls and weeklies has been fun. It doesn't take THAT long to get to level 20, then, if you have a few good pieces, you can quickly get to level 27ish.
From there, you need to grind for enough Hadronic Essence to level up your armor...this was the most time consuming part of ranking up my new guy.
Long answer, but YES. Create another character. It's fun and you get more chances at loot every week.

You should. Go for it.
Depends on the perks. What do you have? Let us know.

NITC
Precision lowers reload
Kills lower grenade cool down
RAPIER
missing replenishes ammo
Last round kill increases reload
Are all legendary scouts otherwise the same?

What about the middle row? Anything good in there?
I think, on paper without looking at the perks, the Rapier is a more popular choice.

yeah you guys are probably right. i do think warlocks look the coolest at least
So Destiny is the game that keeps on giving. In two night falls this week with my Hunter and Titan I get the exact same gun (Coiled Hiss). Ugh.
Then, last night running the Vault, I got two Found Verdicts in one shot after the Templar and after killing Atheon, no lie, I got Vision of Confluence, Red Death, Vex (my first one) AND BallerHorn (also my first one). RNGESUS was pleased with me.
Anyone wanna run Crota HM? I'm feeling lucky and I want the Crux. lol.

Looks like u got all my drops, lol. Beat Atheon on hard last night and all i got for my efforts was a ship and shards... It was my first VOG clear all week and by far the WORST drop I have ever received.

Me too. I really think a lot of it comes down to knowing the maps and the flow. Problem is, you need to play a lot to get that down since the flow changes depending on the game type. Plus, land head shots and get gud.
Any suggestions as to the best Warlock build for PvP would be welcome. My warlock is halfway to rank 3 for crucible, so that's why it's my PvP toon, but I may bail on that and go with my Hunter. Better to do it sooner rather than later.
Everyone in my group was telling me the same thing. I became THAT guy. lol. I felt kind of bad for my cousin who raids with me. He's the one who always wants to do VoG. I was kicking and complaining the whole time - I really hate fighting the Templar, but I went along because that's what family does, and I end up getting the gun he's been trying to get. lol. At least he got Fatebringer though.

Well I am back to 32 and ready to raid again this week. I actually need to run normal VoG so I can save checkpoints on hard, so I thought it'd be cool to try for a flawless while doing it. Is there still any interest in that?
Its only because Destiny makes players rely on external sources for matchmaking end-game content. The OT threads are mostly people shouting for parties.
80% LFG.

It's so funny when people get to 2100 score (2500 to win) in Rumble they start panicking like anything and start choking.
Please stop this. This isn't true at all.

Just picked a random page in the current Halo OT (Page 5) and found this right at the top of the page:
We're a community. Posting about getting together to play is what we should be doing.
Crucible has MM, but that doesn't stop us from grouping up for that activity either.
I'm sure your post was sarcasm, I just needed to get that off of my chest.

I forgot how good Suros is in pvp.
The Halo example is kinda meh because that was during the H5 Beta, where the party system was clearly still in an alpha state. A more polished Halo game probably won't have as many posts asking for groups. That being said, it's not like discussion here gets stifled in favor of the lfg posts. I ignore almost every lfg post because I gain nothing from them. Besides, I'd argue that it's better that the posts be about lfg than about arguing game mechanics(when half the posters don't understand the game mechanics) like the Halo thread.
Wat?...
Every halo that has had the ability to pre-make parties, every game that has had multiplayer with the ability to invite people, despite polish, has seen huge gains in fan following because of it.
Match making without the ability to bring your choice of people along would be terrible in this day in age, seeing as split screen is no longer 100% supported by devs around the world.

Ah, I didn't know that was during a beta. I skipped the online stuff with halo 4, so I'd love to know how they handled MM to do stuff like co-op runs of a story mission on legendary mode. Did it work out, and have there been any leaks about how they'll handle it in halo 5?

About to kill Urzok in 8 minutes if anyone needs it.
In Halo 4 the MM worked great for coop however there were a frakload of afkers. Similar to the strikes here in Destiny if not worse

Even after all the nerfs?

Did h4 have content of similar difficulty to nightfalls or raids? If so, did the gaf community group up here, or just leave it to MM?

What if the necrochasm was the first weapon to use the new bubble upgrade system? because it upgrades pretty similar to the new dlc upgrade system
I don't remember any co-op stuff for halo 4.
Gotta admit though, didn't beat it because I found it boring/not as good as previous halos in my opinion.
If it did have co-op, I don't remember seeing the option.
Shhh..don't spoil the secret!!!

Yes... I used it a lot of time to got that bounty for ARs in IB after the nerfs.
But Red Death is better for example
I always played with my friends. I never checked gaf for Halo
Yeah the coop was pretty well done if played with good folks. especially due to the campaign. 343i took the time to add cutscenes and everything. Coop had its own unique story
Will probably bounce on that X1 if 343i delivers on Halo 5

Urzok is indeed a bastard, but now he is a dead bastard.
I will never understand the constant comparison some people here make between the number of Halo and Destiny OT's, especially since they're comparing the total amount of Destiny OT's to the amount of Halo Community OT's, which doesn't include the OT's used for any of the individual Halo game releases.
Seriously, the comparison makes no sense.
Seriously, the comparison makes no sense.
Making these comparisons is a foolish and meaningless endeavor. Moreover, there's Halo, 2, 3, 4, Reach, MCC, and all the attending reveal/leak/impressions/rumors/review/rant/LTTP etc threads for each. However, the OT count and sheer amount of random threads of Destiny is hard to grasp considering it's a single game that hasn't been out for a year yet.
Bolded part is not true though I don't believe.
Nope, the Halo Community threads are their own separate OT's, individual Halo games get their own OT's like the Halo:TMCC did.
Reach threads on GAF were more about discussion(or something along on the lines of it lol) rather than posts looking to party up because the party system on Reach was fantastic. David Candland is a brilliant UI designer and Reach's UI is his best work, imo. If there were things like tags in Destiny that let other players know you were looking for a raid or a Nightfall group, it would surpass Reach.
No. The closest thing was weekly Spartan Ops missions, which were fairly lackluster in difficulty. It also didn't help that HaloGAF's reception of Halo 4 was largely negative, so not many people were even playing.

I hate this guy, such a pain to fight before the shotgun buff.
They recently skipped an OT number because in the past they forgot to count the Halo Anniversary collection in the OT number.
Talk to Hawkain about OT number comparisons.
