I'd rather watch Drift0r's Breakdown videos. I can't stand those two that you mentioned; IMO.

Bungie talks raids and other endgame content:

The way I'm understanding it Bungie is saying there's no matchmaking in Raids because the level of communication and teamwork required would be impossible for randoms.

Re-made map for collector's edition only. Same old shit... That should be a free map, and it probably will be at some point. CoD never changes, stuuuupid. Great map, but I'm not buying collector's edition for a map I already bought once.

I find it hard to get excited over an emblem, lol.  I wish it was something a little cooler.  Most of us will use the emblem the first day or two, but as soon as we unlock something a little more unique we will probably move onto that one.  Oh well...  I still love the game and cant' wait to buy it.  

Bungie posted this tweet: "This emblem is your reward for putting boots on the ground of the Destiny Beta today. You'll see it in September."

The weekly update has a picture of the emblem/callsign you get for playing the beta today

Great just what we need in a MP match. Cloaking campers

This Saturday on the last day of the Beta, @2PM PST if you are on the Beta you get an award or achievement (something) to show that you participated in the Beta. So when the full game is out in September there is going to be something to show that you were a participant in the Beta to show off to other players.

I agree having special camos for PTO. Not just a one time deal but an ongoing challenge for objective players.

I will be bringing mine PS4 to my in laws just for that time frame just to get the achievement. (my wife gave me a "really" look)

Typical I'm away on sat,so that's 10 in the uk might see if step daughter will just do a it.

It seems that a majority of the forum will be playing it this fall, so I'd definitely recommend buying it.  It feels like it's going to be the game that we've all been waiting for on the PS4. 

Matt and I did some upgrades to the main hall, need some more Plastids if anyone is rolling in them. Choose the great hall as your spawn, everything is going to be located in there soon.

Next time you do the ODD invite me and I'll bring my Nekros along to help with farming samples. Or any other resources we may need for the Dojo

I loooove this game so far. Appears to be down for maintenance right now. Looking forward to playing more later.

My Destiny experience so far has been nothing short of awesome. From the initial cinematics and music score to actually jumping into the game. I just can't believe the polish on the game at this stage for a Beta version.
 
It's the little things that make a difference in a game of this cope and they have done this down to a tee. From the individual looking gear (even at this early stage) to the actual sound mechanics. Seriously, join a fireteam with somebody, but don't go into party chat, then talk to each other in game. You'll notice when in an enclosed room your voice will actually echo! Also, if one of the other people has chosen their race as the Exo (robot), then their voice will be warped to sound slightly robotic.
 
I said in my earlier post that it seems more like a MMORPGFPS and I stand by that comment. The social area reminds me alot of previous MMO's i've played and is something that reminds you of the scope of people playing and involved in this game.
 
I like the difference between the levelling and the gear. As the level cap is 20 in game (afaik), it will be reached pretty quickly by alot of people. However getting that all important gear will take a hell of a lot longer. Which is a great way to (sudo) raise the levelling cap, but without actually doing so.
 
PvP has been a steep learning curve. It's not a FPS like any other that you've played before and will take some time to get used to. It's a lot more vertically based than many of the mainstream games. But once you have the knack of it, it becomes very rewarding. The class centric specials have a big part to play in this environment, but I couldn't pick one out that was better than the other. The Hunter's golden gun, could give multiple one shot kills, you just need a decent aim! The Warlock's Nova is very effective and has a wider aoe (area of effect) but you need to be up in the air first to make it more likely to hit where you want it. Lastly the Titan's smash, is just as powerful as the Nova, with a smaller aoe but can be started up whilst on the ground with the same effectiveness.
They've introduced (so far) 2 different types of PvP. One where gear doesn't make a difference and one where it does. So if you're a min/maxer looking for the best challenge, then there's a spot for you. But if you like it a bit more casual, then that's been catered for also.
 
The open world is vibrant, vast and heavily populated. It really does give you a sense of the world that they're trying to create. And from what we've seen, this is only one area of the Earth "realms". There's plenty to explore just within this and there are endless missions which can be picked up from the raido beacons, so you could level up and enjoy the area without ever having to touch the storyline. There are also lots of secrets hidden away in the area, so exploring can feel rewarding if you manage to get your hands on that shiney you wanted!
 
Lastly the storyline has been pretty immense so far and has been a great introduction to the way of life as a Guardian. The storyline missions have been paced very well and are viable as a solo operator just as much as a team. They can also be ran at 2 levels of difficulty at present which again adds to the replayability. The Strike Force mission in the Beta is great fun and adds a real layer of excitement to the game when you get a boss that just won't seem to go down, no matter what you throw at it. Forced match making in this area means even solo operators will be able to play these missions at a moments notice should they wish to.
 
All in all, I've enjoyed the hell out of this Beta and the game has exceeded my already high expectations. I can't wait for the Beta to re-open in a few days time and Septemeber can't come soon enough. If you haven't tried it yet, give it a go, it's the real AAA title for next-gen we've been waiting for.

I don't care whether its a COD killer I have just been wanting something different that I can spend some time on, battlefield has killed COD for me at the moment so Aw is going to have to pull it out the bag for that to change, I've dabbled with other games but nothing has got me as interested as destiny playing the alpha and now the beta has only made me want to explore this game more, I love the way it looks and plays my only concern is it doesn't become too overly complex.
Am I right in thinking the multiplayer aspect matches up similar level guardians because if not that could get frustrating.

CoD doesn't need any help they are killing their selves.
Destiny will survive just fine. It's not based on their multiplayer. It's based off of the co-op. Problem with a lot of games is that it relies on the multiplayer aspect to be successful. If they support the game and do content the way they say they are. It will last a long time. Halo 1-3 were all great multiplayer and campain games.
