4-game win streak, greatest destiny players of all-time
Mechanical complexity isn't gameplay complexity, and can easily wind up working against it due to all sorts of inelegancies.
If a mechanic doesn't have a good reason to exist in a game, I would tend to err strongly toward axing it.
Copying CoD didn't work; since 343i is looking for more inspiration from the past this time, plan B must be Doom. Which implies that in Halo 5, the Chief will wear nothing but skin-tight olive green spandex and a helmet.

I'm hoping my bootcamp paychecks will be just enough to snag me a black friday XBO, MCC, and a Wii U with Smash 4 / gamecube adapter. I'm getting out like a week before thanksgiving.

Bit late on that:
The lower body of that armor reminds me of Sega Saturn graphics.
Those boots look like they came from Sonic.

You're not the only one, a mate who went to a midnight launch is still unable to play Destiny, error centipede. He's on a university connection but literally no other 360 or X1 game gives him trouble. I was stuck in spawn on the moon last night right as our fireteam killed the boss and then got booted back to X1 dashboard too.
As for the game, I'm loving the connection quality on Aussie servers and the coop fireteams. Bring on the raids already, can't wait for those. The first night was just a grind to unlock crucible and some decent weapons etc. On to strikes and patrols/public events tonight I think.
The only issues I've had is that I only have one of the three legacy emblems I'm supposed to have.

Good lord, are we sure Bungie made Halo's multiplayer?
Destiny's is so disappointing compared to Halo, 5 very generic modes, no maps that really stand out, nothing like a Forge or custom game modes. It's all just very average in my opinion.
Hurry up Master Chief Collection, I need a good multiplayer to sink my teeth into.

Yeah it certainly seems to be an issue, I'm sure they're working to sort it out. This particular mate and uni connection had issues in the beta as well, so there should be good data from beta and release for Bungie.
I'd recommend you ask the Uni IT department if you can put your console into a DMZ (demilitarised zone) for now. It should broadly resolve many issues quickly from the player network end. Uni IT departments generally have some strict policies though, good luck.

Destiny PVP is Elzar tier, but ironically I had a lot of fun playing with him.

They wasted all their funds on advertising. I don't think they took community appeal as much into account as they did with Halo. That's why I'm so happy that MCC is coming out soon.

Preordered Halo: Broken Circle today.
Absolutely cannot wait to read some more quality Halo stories.

I actually missed out a word in that post, I meant to say it's not always bad.
That said, I'd argue Reach style loadouts can be pretty good, sprint is debatable, screen shake (whilst needing to be toned down a bit) isn't a bad thing and what's wrong with way points?
Also, assassinations, boarding, dual wielding (if balanced), customisable armour, invasion... Were pretty cool.
If we don't accept any changes Halo is gunna get dull very fast.
Well, yes and no. Halo 3 was fun for 3 years, and could have been longer, even without any changes (not counting added maps and playlist tweaks, those are not fundamental changes after all).
That said, i absolutely want each new Halo trying something new. Not interesting in a mere graphics update.

Got to love the "don't want shitty changes for change's sake so you must not want anything to change" strawman. How many times have we heard that argument / excuse at this point, HaloGAF?
ElzarTheBam

According to my calculations, 10,211 times.
Considering previous posts I'm pretty sure some people here really don't want anything to be changed at all from the original trilogy...
I think that's just an impression, not the truth. The issue with most changes so far is that they haven't been good, or if the idea has been good, the execution (usually balancing) has been bad.

I guess it was asking too much to add more quests or more layouts in Earth with the same enclosed doors leading dead ends areas, so yeah, go directly to the moon

You can change netcode, aim assist, and player movement/momentum. And while we're at it make all precision guns hitscan.

Nope, you're not missing anything. It really is that ass-backwards. For a social shared world shooter, Destiny is remarkably stingy with the "social" and "shared" bits.

Is it the same on PSN? I wonder if it's the X1 platform causing the issue or just Destiny itself?
I hope MCC or guardians does clans right.

It's really the only thing I don't like about Destiny. I wish I could talk to random people with proximity voice.
Yes dancing is fun, and yes 90% of the people would probably be asshats, but idc.
Pretty sure they had to do that if they wanted clans to be cross-platform. Rock Band Blitz let you score duel cross-platform 360<->PS3, so they used Facebook as the intermediate to do so, and you had to issue the duel via the facebook app. You couldn't do it from in-game.
Blame both first parties for their refusal to allow integration and their complete lack of actual system-level clan functionality
