No code yet.

Sad!

Yay I got a code!

Now Dez you can distract yourself with Destiny instead of whatever the bulls are trying to do

So am I to understand that after this initial 12.6GB download there's another 13GB download?

No I think the 12.6 or whatever is it.

It is, just finished and I checked.

I'm all set to go.

Damn. Was hoping to play tonight. Won't be able to start playing until Thursday night but at least I have Friday off

 

[dwwaino]

Damn it, I took it for tonight too. Will most likely have to wait until Thursday but there is a chance I'll have the rest of the week off anyway.

 

[manureid]

Will play an hour or 2 in the morning. Good time to be on leave

 

[catstorm]

Played 1 on PS4 but I'm just gonna wait for the pc release this time.

 

[Quivorir]

So. Anyone played yet?

Visually it appears to be a modest upgrade. It looks better than Destiny, with more effects, but it is a similar upgrade as what we saw between the original and its expansions.

I enjoyed the first level and the narrative feels a lot better than the original so far. The strike felt like it had a much bigger scale than previous Destiny strikes, particularly that scene with all the machinery, but it doesn't mess with the formula a great deal. The boss was, in my opinon, a bit disappointing.

Crucible feels like the Crucible. Pulse rifles feel really strong (although to be fair they are pretty much the only weapons I'm any good at). Running around with a sub-machine gun and spraying bullets can be oddly effectively. Side-arms and auto rifles seem pretty useless.

Kills and assists are rolled into one for the purpose of Control. No more stealing people's kills.

I enjoyed the Destiny 1 Beta

 

[manureid]

Was a bit more to do on destiny 1 beta. Level up on patrols etc.

And to think I asked you for advice on how to download the D2 beta. No wonder what you told me didn't make any sense

from memory it had pretty much all Earth missions (of course we didnt know just how big of a part of the campaign it was); open earth patrol; few PVP maps & game types; a strike and the tower was open with functioning cryptarch and whatnot.

i think in reference to the full game; the beta was too much. then again the lack of content in full game was probably the bigger issue.

I also seem to remember Tupp giving me s**t for reading the instructions. Now who's laughing!?

 

[dwwaino]

The first beta was pretty generous, this one is probably more what a beta should be. Enjoyed the first mission and strike though.

 

[Burningleviathan]

Not so happy n00b tubing will be in this one. You'd think if COD taught us anything, it was to avoid that. Enjoyable Beta aside from that though.

Me still
