I played for a little less then an hour and did all the pve stuff, it was fun but I basically did everything possible except for PvP.

You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Yeah I treated this like a demo. I don't like getting too deep into beta stuff because we're not keeping it anyway and I just want to mess around.

The titan rally barricade wall is great for pve but you'll get stunted on in PVP. The Big Wall though has saved my rear end a bunch of times, because I'm pretty sure damage is negated the moment you start the animation :pcgaming:

One strike, two pvp maps and two pvp games, and the story mission when you start up but I don't see an option to play it again.

Welp, I'm stuck in the first mission. Right after the part where you help Zavala. I ran to the speaker, and Ikora never showed up :/ so after thirty seconds I went forward, then Ikora starts doing her dialog. Apparently there are enemies I have to kill before I walk through the doorway. The door is now closed and I'm on the other side, where the boss fight is supposed to happen with no way to trigger the fight. Gg Bungie

Lots of frame drops especially in some 3 player parts, the base consoles definitely can't hack it anymore. My mate with a PS4 pro said he didn't see any frame drops but my OG PS4 can't keep up. It's like the WOTM siege engine boss but on some of the busier fights basically (the assault wave on the campaign mission, drills section on the strike mission).

i haven't seen any issues with frame drop in any situation with the beta. feels like this is going to be a YMMV thing

Love these new bubble effects, greatly enjoy having the option of either going ham with a shield like a gay purple space Captain America or be a cool guy and lay down a bubble. Did they say beforehand that the bubble effects are removed as soon as you leave the bubble? Because I kept noticing the Armor of Light effect dropped when I left it. Kind of hampers the long term use I think?

That waist-high wall definitely has some great PVE application. That final stretch in the Strike when all those goblins and such are charging up the ramp seems tailor made for a Defender to plop one down and go to town.

well armour was the one that was only active in the bubble in D1. Weapons and light stuck around, but I dunno if you can get those

It's both thrilling and terrifying.
The tall Titan wall is fantastic in PvP. I don't know if people realize, but if an enemy tries to run through your wall they get pretty high DoT damage similar to Hunter smoke nades in D1.

We were playing countdown and we'd set up 3 walls in the rugs entrances after setting the bomb, and the room becomes a fortress.

Amazing first mission, hope the rest of the game holds up like that.

Cru is nice, its cool to have primary fights for once but gently caress crucible regardless.

Gotta wait till sep to see what the gently caress happens next. :negative:

oh yeah, to be fair weapons/blessing have to some degree been moved to the new warlock special abilities

although the healing one doesn't seem that useful, you can't heal through any sort of real damage at all

It seems like they moved the Blessing and Weapon effects to the Warlock rift, which do those two things.

the rocket launcher I got only holds one rocket. Maybe there'll be others that hold more or gear mods or w/e the gently caress but that does like a way to balance them compared with grenade launchers/ the other heavies

fusion rifle seemed pretty good surprisingly

nerfed the gently caress out of grenades, like axion is slow as hell and stickies aren't a one hit kill good

warlock rifts don't seem that useful in pvp. The damage one boosted my pulse from 21 on a headshot to 22, so 3 more damage per burst. :discourse: healing also took a little while to kick in and didn't seem that strong. Maybe I'm wrong.

you can hit the touch pad to bring up the director during a pvp game and peace out to find a new game or do a strike or w/e. No going to orbit, just instant rage quit.

e; oh yeah, minotaurs have a belly crit spot now

yeah instant reload is very powerful, but it's got such a long cooldown that they probably just don't have it up, or want to save it


failsafe the ai is kind of a fun character, maybe

heavy ammo is incredibly rare, like one drop per strike

B) It's called "Undefeated" now which is waaaaay more lame sounding
