Once you enter that you choose the platform for your beta codes. Also groups are able to be set as your in-game clan now.

Was there any chance at them releasing the codes today to pre-load the beta? Not a huge deal but it would be nice to get home from work to have it downloaded.

Has there been any discussion how they plan to balance the Multi-player aspect of the game with people who have advanced really far in the single player? It seems like it might be kind of lame to play against someone who has access to different abilities and more powerful guns in 6vs6 matches. I imagine they'll have rank pools but I wonder how they'll handle someone with really good armor or weapons just wrecking teams. It concerns me because that was one of the reason I largely stayed out of PvP in MMORPGS because of the gear differences making it difficult to compete.

In the alpha a lot of stuff got flattened so like if you had a mega damage gun it didn't do mega damage any more but it might reload faster or whatever else it did. Same with armor/shields.

Other than reload times and I believe impact (staggering) of projectiles, it's abilities, then abilities and bonuses from weapons that count only. Like sliding longer if you have a weapon with kneepads. Otherwise we're all going to be equal. I still don't know how people figured out how to get a shield letting them survive point blank ordinarily lethal headshots in the alpha. I played the tankiest titan and pop and dead so many times.

Thanks, that seems like a sensible solution. I was concerned that the single-player/questing aspect of the game would bleed too much into the multiplayer, I guess we'll see how it goes tomorrow. Y'all expecting much out of IGNs preview today?

Glad Amazon sent out reminders to actually use the beta key, I probably would have forgotten all about it like I did with the alpha.

How did Multiplayer work? Does everyone start a game on equal footing? Or do you get to bring all your own weapons and armor to it?

In the alpha you brought in your own levels and equipment but they were changed in various ways to make it more even. This is what we were most talking about on this page.

I thought I read somewhere that they are going to have multiplayer modes that are more similar to the way Halo's multiplayer was setup, but I probably dreamt that.

There are multiple game types (which is what you mean by game modes if I understand correctly) within crucible, which is the overarching competitive multiplayer mode (along with strike, exploration, tower, story, and one that has not yet been revealed)

If you pre-ordered on PSN, you won't need a code.

New thread for Beta, with information regarding beta up in this: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3651139 Post information I should jam into post#2 or the header there. I'll ask MonsterW21 to close this one (maybe not, doesn't take PMs. Someone Skype or whatev?), and sorry for the WIPness of my OP, my lovely excuse is accidental shift-deletion and real life business surprising me.

DarkAvenger211 posted:How did Multiplayer work? Does everyone start a game on equal footing? Or do you get to bring all your own weapons and armor to it? You bring all your kit but the Attack and Defense stats on your weapons/armor don't do anything in the Crucible. Out in the wilderness a weapon with Attack 15 will do a lot of damage to something with Defense 1 (numbers used for example, not representative). The difference between your Attack and the target's Defense acts as a multiplier on the weapon's Impact, though I don't know the formula exactly. In the Crucible the only thing that matters to determining damage per shot is the weapon's Impact. Higher-level gear will still have more talents in its talent grid, and you will retain those. Higher-level characters will still have more abilities, including some that will buff their Armor, Recovery, and Agility stats, which will give them some marginal advantages in those respects. e: Will move this to other thread.
