the pvp is halo with more gun variety though :confused:

yeah exactly, it's extremely slow and floaty with the added gently caress you of dumb rng grinds to get decent stuff to be competitive.

also some of the worst lag compensation of all time, even with great ping there's a huge delay on every action. i've never seen so many simultaneous kills in a game before.

the content everyone loves is the gauntlet of bullet sponge bosses and jumping puzzles they call a raid?

whenever i hear see someone talk about the content it's some variation of "shoot aliens with friends from point a to point b and hold down square at point b, whatevs" like some sort of admission that the game is boring, but it's okay to have low standards.

it's insane to not include at the very least cosmetic dlc in a modern game

even if you don't believe in dlc, cosmetic items are like printing money with no actual impact on the core mechanics if you don't want it

except isn't it more like battlefield where people who have played longer or bought DLC have gear or a skill set that is objectively better than other gear? I'm actually asking because I don't know

That's why I liked Halo MP, it was literally everyone was the same and you tussled over the weapons on the map. Then they started changing poo poo and adding loadouts and you can start with a battle rifle and I dunno
In normal PVP item levels are normalized so you can use pretty much whatever weapon or armor you want.

"Thus," concluded Miyamoto, "you must give up everything you have to be my disciple."

quote:

Bungie’s shooter Destiny is to shortly begin offering microtransactions to players.

As of Tuesday October 13th NPC vendor Tess Everis will return fronting an organisation known as the Eververse Trading Company. To begin with 18 new emotes will be available for an as of yet unspecified price.

Items can be purchased using a new in-game currency called Silver. That can be obtained for real cash via either PSN or Xbox Live.

The developer, however, has been keen to stress that there are no ‘pay-to-win’ items up for grabs and that any items offered by Tess in the future will be purely cosmetic.

“Like the trio of emotes offered via The Taken King Collector’s Edition, these emotes are completely optional, and won’t impact the action game in any way,” Bungie said. “If you’re not interested in what Tess has to offer, you won’t ever be forced to pluck an item off of her shelf. [...] "If you’re still sceptical, you can log in next week and take a look for yourself. We’ll be dropping some free Silver into your account so you can purchase an emote or two and become legend through the power of dance.”

I played it sometime this summer and they did not fix it
If you play at 144FPS some missions are literally impossible because as your FPS rises, so does the fire rate of enemies outside their turn. I was trying to play a mission where the guides say "just run for it!" and getting immediately gunned down, over and over.
Tank physics might have been fixed but you still need to play at 30FPS. I didn't thoroughly test 60 but I think it's hosed in the same way

Should you have a penchant for player-plundering performance, though, the update now allows you to infiltrate rival player’s FOBs without leaving a trace. Assuming you’ve got the cunning and sneaking prowess to avoid detection – and refrain from killing or extracting staff and/or damaging or extracting containers and equipment – you can now see out FOB missions without rival players being notified at all.

Other notable highlights the update adds are: new weapons and items, the specifics of which are yet to be confirmed, which can be upgraded to Grade 7, a new maximum level; night vision equipment for your security team staff; a broader, more varied range of Combat Deployment missions; and detailed breakdowns within the results screens of FOB missions.

If paying for progress is your thing, “MB coins” could previously be purchased for real money and can be used to buy things for your base, including the new FOB insurance service that’ll cover you for anything Jenny Bloggs manages to get her hands on. Also, if you feel FOB-building is taking too long you can use MBs to reduce construction times. Given the nature of FOB leaderboards, this sounds like it might stretch a little too far into pay-to-win territory.
