So when Bungie was pulling ideas from Overwatch, did they include streamlining information like tinting grenades and supers based on which team they belong to, or callouts when its your teammate activating their super so you don't have to wonder if it's your Gunslinger or the enemy team's?

3 exotic fusion/rocket launcher that works like the blueberry launcher from Reach
4 proper firefight modes, like in Reach

I'm almost certain the move to 4v4 for everything is to help mask SBMM and how it hits queue times in 6s. It's the Bungie thing to do.

Towards the end the only enjoyable pvp was private matches with bros. there, goofy lag and other bullshit was funny.

Unless they have really, really reworked core networking stuff, this sounds like all the bad dumb stuff turned to 11, all the fun dumb stuff turned down to 4, but hey we also took out private matches.

4v4s every match will be trials or worse, just like 3s by the end of D1

They didn't, games in the evening on the west coast were still starting unfilled with long queues, you still get shot through walls, and now they only show you your own connection because Bungie are a bunch of cowards who would rather just keep lying to players about their matchmaking than fix it and decided to just take away peoples' easiest ability to take a quick look and go "ah, there's some bullshit."

How is it in pvp? I've been running around with one on patrol and I'm a little worried about its TTK since it takes as many bursts to kill something as another pulse will, but each shot takes a little bit longer.

Cayde maps own because one of them gave me an FWC auto rifle that's otherwise impossible to get and it shoots like a god drat laser beam, probably the most stable auto rifle I've ever found. Even keeping my thumb off the stick the recoil only raised the aim a few degrees.

I'm fairly certain his maps will be refreshed every week for whatever destination is the flashpoint. It'd be really stupid if he only ever gave you five maps you could just blow through in as many minutes and that's it, that's all you get for destiny 2.

FWIW anything you get out of them is completely random. I haven't seen (not that I've looked very hard) anyone else claim to get FWC gear out of the deal, one guy in the discord said he got a New Monarchy scout rifle. I'm just guessing that Cayde's chests have the chance to drop anything that's in the game.

All swords are a one-hit in PvP. There's some that have the sword version of the triple-tap perk, and swords also get a fair bit of ammo per pickup. If they're controlling the heavy drops then it'll probably seem like they're never running out of ammo.

There are a lot of little hints that something bad has happened to the Fallen.

There's a house sigil that Ghost doesnt recpgnize.

He comments that every Fallen house used to use it's own frequency but now they all use the Kings.

And there's a scannable in Titan that's set to detect transmissions from the Fallen homeworld, and it isn't getting any

The Fallen all came together under the House of Kings because it was the only one with leadership left intact after the guardians were finished with them, and then the Awoken Queen's brother just kinda stepped in and took over in one of the Age of Triumph grimoire cards. I've got no fuckin' clue why they just let the smug blue bastard walk in and take over, but here we are.
