All I can say is "Play smarter" I have done all of the story missions for three characters, two of them are at level 8 and I'm working on my hunter now. When in doubt cower in a corner.

Which one did you enjoy playing most? I think the Hunter looks cool as hell but I don't normally enjoy the "assassin" class in these type of games.

I like the Hunter but I want to try his Blademaster tree which you cant unlock until level 15 because I am very underwhelmed by his Golden Gun ability.

Crucible feels a lot more fun on the Venus map than on the Rusted Lands, I'm not sure if they have tweaked anything else. I always loved Halo mp and this is basically that.

Man, yeah. The Warlock and Titan abilities are so much cooler than that one. It doesn't even seem to "fit". Like I'd expect something more like a hadouken given the other two.

This is how you communicate with a fellow intelligence: you hurt it, you keep on hurting it, until you can distinguish the posts from the screams.
Obviously YMMV but Golden Gun really shines in the Crucible and it's a great thematic fit for the Gunslinger. I just wish there was a perk to play Enrico Morricone music every time you got a kill with it.

Are there hundreds of guns? Are there any other types of loot like boots, rings, gloves, etc?

I don't know how many guns there are, but they're divided into several families. You have primary weapons and secondary weapons, as well as heavy weapons. For armor, you have Head, Body, Hands, Feet, and a fifth slot that changes based on your class. Everything is reflected on your character. You can dye armor, too, but I haven't really played with this yet.

Customization is pretty light compared to "real" RPGs. Each class has one cosmetic item slot (a different type of item for each class). High-level armor has stat bonuses and the color can be changed.

Sounds good. The best way to get gear is just grind Devil's Lair, right? I can bust out some runs of that on my warlock to get geared up.

Yeah, the cosmetics are pretty lack luster early on. The Hunter gets some cool low level cloaks, but even at high level I don't find the Warlock cosmetics very awe inspiring compared to the Titan or Hunter items. And they locked armor dyes behind level 20, despite all of your green or better items having the ability to be died, even at level 8.

I got a pretty rad ship and avatar now, though. And once the game comes out I'll probably be gunning for the silliest looking Ghost reskin/remodel they have.

I enjoyed the Warlock the most. His melee recharges grenade use and I believe he has the best grenades around. Titan looks really awesome though so it's hard for me to decide between the two. But I feel that Hunter is the weakest right now unless you really got to have your golden gun. I just find Nova Bomb far more useful.

It is published by Activision, who publishes gritty military shooters where you can buy Space Cat gun camos and pay to have Snoop Dogg tell you B was just captured. All signs point to yes.

If you're there at the strike of the hour, you need to re-join the tower once the doors open at 2pm Pacific.
