As much as I find forced PvP annoying, Destiny's PvP is no different from the Halo series (save the different class skills), so it's come as sort of a second nature for me (played a lot of Halo with the friends). Buy yeah, if I want to PvP give me PvP rewards, forcing PvE fans to PvP is just frustrating.

I love Halo multiplayer, but i find Destiny PVP soo bland. It doesn't feel rewarding to win, or even get kills. I hate to say it, but the games i have played in PVP (all with full lobby of friends btw) have just left me feeling bored. I'd more than happily go back to playing COD MW2 over this.

The narrators voice too, could he be any more un-interested!?

Hey look, I just loaded up my missile launcher aaaaaand the guy around the corner has a machine gun.

God. fething. dammit.

I have decided to wait at least half a year before giving Destiny a try.

It was the game i was waiting for, I hoped for something special, but I played the trial version and it was clear that this was a nice shooter, but nothing more.
Hardly any story/background, multiplayer average at best, I was very dissappointed.
And the definitive version now is not much better from all i have read and heard from friends (even the ones that like it).

HALO has/had a better multiplayer.
Defiance is the same game and gametype and has a better story (Destiny looks a lot better though).

I am glad that i can play the new Borderlands in a few weeks :-)

Why are you using a Missile Launcher in PVP, while it's only good against bullet sponges?

Wait, rockets don't kill people these days?

Well that sucks to hear. Maybe i'll try using mine one day. Only a month to go till Master Chief Collection, so doubt it

Rockets do kill people.

Machine guns just do it more efficiently.

I've seen some people just wrecking others in PvP with a rocket launcher so I wouldn't pass them over completely. I imagine the ones that hold two shots before needing to reload are more useful. I use my Zombie Apocalypse in PvP, though. I wasn't all that keen on it at first, it was good but not spectacular, but when you get the ammo upgrade and it goes from 35 shots to 75 shots without reloading it becomes amazing.

Rocket launchers are great once you get field scout

Rocket launchers are ludicrous in PvP. Everytime I see a guy with one, I make it a point to either kill him immediately or run the heck away from it.

You can also make them waste their rocket ammo by boosting into the air. A smart player will switch to his gun, but mostly likely they'll waste their shot trying to hit you.

Level 24, still no exotics.

They really need a matchmaking option on the daily/weekly raids.

Also, not loving Iron Banner.

I hit level 23 yesterday, after a Rare Engram from a level 24 Strike.

Still have 0 Exotics, and my only Legendary is a New Monarchy Titan Mark

Striker.

Yeah, me too. I've almost got it up to 100% upgraded, following which I want to get the Defender class rolling.

I have 26 Titan with both Striker and Defender leveled up and switch as necessary. The only Exotic I have is Invective and I'm ok with that ammo regenerating fool, even if he was a PITA to get. Everything else is Legendary from drops (body, Heavy Weapon), Crucible Marks (arms), or Vanguard Marks (everything else).

Lol.

Haha, yeah that bloke won me over, I now think Destiny sucks and I haven't actually played it.

Playing with a good bunch of people, it feels like a whole different game...

That said I think the Hunter's Bladedancer tree is garbage and both of the Hunter tree needs to be revised from the ground up.

Starting with those awful, awful supers.

That's what I've heard. I finished the storyline at level 18 playing solo, did a few random things on Mars, and then walked away.

Meanwhile, a friend of mine is playing the game with a group of his friends (he's on a different console than I am), and having a blast.

I'm enjoying the game still, playing on ps4, but finding others to play with is the harder part.

if anyone wants someone to do strikes with etc feel free to add me : duce556

im 25 titan and hoping to get enough marks for another legendary and buy an exotic form Xur come this Friday if he has the defender helm.

I wanted a helm as well until I saw a Titan wearing an Exotic body piece called The Armamentarium with its:

+ Special Ammo
+ Heavy Ammo
+ 1 Grenade.

My favorite comment when looking it up was "oops my panties" but that works too.

This sounds like the 30 other rants I've seen coming from various different gaming magazines; lack of 'HAY THIS IS THE ENTIRE STORY RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW AT LEVEL 1' and being required to make some sort of effort to uncover a lot of the answers to the questions raised by just blowing through the game. From the various different sources on the web, it seems to be the consensus that Bungie is going to update the player's knowledge of the storyline/setting as more expansions and content patches appear.

So, be patient.

I have yet to play the game, but it's this exact reason I won't. They could have at least explained what the hell is going on, and left it on a cliffhanger to introduce DLC. Each expansion should then introduce more and more plot, making it feel like you are actually unwraveling the story. But when what is supposed to be 'chapter 1' does nothing to invest you in the plot or its characters...that's a BAD sign. When the first chapter leaves you feeling more confused than when you even began, that's bad.Telling players "Wait until you pay more to actually know what the feth is going on in the world." is bad.

And don't.

Yet.

This game has brilliant shooting, enemies and music. The rest is terrible. Once the game has at least of year of updates it will be really good and you not leave you feeling lost with what to do sometimes. I bet a lot of people wish they hadn't started using this crack. Halo will be my remedy so i can put this game down and forget about it.

It should also be a lot cheaper. I'm not mad I got it at launch but I would warn others to wait a bit, which I think I have said earlier in the thread.

So what you're defending, Eskimo, is we have to wait 6 months and pay X dollars in addition to the game's original cost, and then and only then will the game finally get interesting? Huh...
