Amen brother.
Loved it in PvE but seemed a little under-powered in PvP. Could have just been me though. I was never the best at it.
As a side question what weapon did everyone prefer for PvP and did it differ from your PvE weapon?
serves me right for assuming the default gender for gaming gaf was male.

I'm a girl too.
To assume is to make an ASS of U and ME

It's tough living in a human dominated world. I make by tho.
Hand-cannon was my least favorite weapon. Just wasn't very fun to use in the Alpha.
Yup
Didn't touch PvP yet. Saving that for the beta!
You're a stronger person than I, I set out to "not play that much, save it! Played toooo much.

Primaries:
1. Hand Cannon
2. Pulse Rifle
3. Scout Rifle
Special:
1. Fusion Rifle
2. Shotgun
3. Sniper Rifle
Heavy:
1. Rocket Launcher
30. Heavy Machine Gun (I just didn't see the point. The damage was pitiful compared to rockets, regardless of how much more ammo heavy machine gun gets.).

May as well throw my two cents in:
Primaries:
1. Scout Rifle
2. Auto Rifle
3. Pulse Rifle (didn't play with it in pvp)
Specials:
1. Fusion Rifle
2. Sniper Rifle
3. Shotgun (very effective just not as much fun for me)
Heavy:
1. Rocket Launcher
2. Heavy Weapon
I didn't experiment with different classes much in the Alpha...what are people's favorite grenades? It was funny as hell seeing people avoid my Titan's initial throw and then run directly into one of the pulses and fly, fly away.

My hand cannon was a sniper rifle, if you catch my drift.
The Alpha had a major part in making positive turnaround for people who played it.

yeah that's what ive deduced. looking forward to the impressions on gaf when the retail version comes out. Bungie are not just a one trick pony.

Ok, i laughed at this lol! +1You're a stronger person than I, I set out to "not play that much, save it! Played toooo much.

And scout rifles all the way.
I thought it looked great from day one. People are just cynical even when something good is shown in front of them.
I am a massive fan boy for Bungie, and truly believed they wouldn't just leave Halo behind without having something up their golden laced sleeves
I feel smug right now
But the general consensus was that alpha made a lot of great impressions, as where the media coverage didn't really nail the sense of how cool and open to fantastic adventures it actually is.
seems to be confirmed. However they doesn't count.

If Destiny is a success, do you think we'll see Destiny 'clones'? By that, I mean:
Perhaps only Activision is big enough to afford the necessary investment?
- Action game (first-person or third-person)
- Big budget
- Multi-year franchise (with DLC, sequels and expansions)
- Online
- Lots of different modes
- Persistent world
- RPG mechanics
- Lots of customization

I think yes we'll see clones, but the problem with clones is they very rarely live up to the magic of the original and make them unique.
I found this was the issue when playing the reboot of the Medal Of Honor games.
I had a great time with them, yet they didn't capture the magic of COD.
The same can be said for the various Halo clones we saw, they were good but not Halo so people always went back to the original.
But hell Bungie are a studio that does push and force others into a new way of thinking, so I would be really shocked if the same didn't happen again.

If you play Hunter without a Handcannon you're living wrong

In case anyone missed it, a Reddit user has ripped and uploaded the music from the Alpha:

I don't see any cases where the Handcannon would be useful. It has low DPS, low ammo capacity and slow reload times. Might as well use the Scout Rifle.
Absolutely. I could kill people with sometimes one shot over some distance. Very impressive weapon.
Isn't that already the case as long as you wait around the spawn point? If you're out and about the pther person still joins in realtime. He just has to run to your current location.

That strikes me as a balancing issue. Scout Rifle was easily the best of all the main weapons in the alpha. Also thematically you can't exactly gungsling a rifle

I think Kyoufu means how in the E3 2013 stage demo, it showed your friends' ships appear in the sky and literally drop them off. It was a really cool effect.

Question for you guys...
Has Bungie said anything about there being exotic ships or mounts?
Also, are there different types(not colors) of mounts to get?
All the exotic stuff I've seen so far has me absolutely psyched. I can only imagine what Bungie could do with some exotic ship or mount designs.

You know a game is good when you suck at it and you still have fun. I got my butt kicked in multiplayer in the alpha, and I can't wait to get into the beta.
Yeah, this. Thought it was amazing and was disappointed that they removed it in the Alpha.
I wonder why this was removed?

It's certainly a huge undertaking that very few developers out there could do right. Beyond needing unlimited funds, you need developers that know their way around multiple genres that (up to this point) have very little to do with eachother. It'll be fun to see people try though (until it won't because everybody is doing it wrong).
