So Chip finally got smart and traded in his Xbone,games and used birthday money and got a PS4. Actually got the Destiny edition PS4. I'm happy to be able game with him again. He just needs a few people to play with. He may send out some friend invites gamer tag is Waraint98.

Really pleased they've addedd more stuff to do already. A good mix of PvP, storyline lore, raids and general events in the areas.
I'll be very happy if they continue to update things this often and listen to the community feedback and act on it

Good times tonight everyone, having fun with this game, and happy to see our party numbers growing.

I'm at the very last stage of the "Light in the Dark" exotic bounty. At stake, the exotic hand cannon Thorn.
 
I need to kill Xyor the Unwed in a special version of the summoning pits strike on the moon. It's a level 26 strike mission, I forget what modifiers are active, but I don't believe Nightfall is one of them.
 
 
If you're interested in helping me conquer this mission, let me know. I'm not sure if you need to be level 26 to get in, or if that's just the level of the strike. I'll check on some of those details when back on the game this evening.
 
This is a call to arms my friends, guardians of Forever Gaming unite!!!

There are a lot of little tips and tricks here:  http://www.ign.com/wikis/destiny/Tips_and_Tricks
 
"Before cashing in bounties, which grant experience, you should equip any itmes that you want upgraded -- they upgrade with your experience."

New missions and game mode incoming.

@Matt Resources are easy to farm, right now it's marks I need!

They need to fix the connection with the servers on the PvP. I keep getting disconnected from the Destiny Servers everytime I try to play some Crucible.

Here's a decent write-up:
 
Source Since Destiny is not your typical FPS, it combines a bit of Borderlands looting and Diablo 3 progression and is nothing like Halo, I'm sure some of you might find it a bit confusing. So, i am going to break down what the "End Game" at level 20 is about, and hope this helps you plan ahead and get enjoyment out of what is inevitably a grind-fest. Yes, you are going to have to grind.   Anyone familiar with Diablo 3 or MMOs in general are familiar with this concept. It will become tedious and annoying, but when you get your first piece of shiny Purple, it will all be worth it. If grinding is not your thing, then there is plenty of exploring to do i suppose. First, figure out what you want to focus on AT FIRST: PvE or PvP. This is not a major issue in the bigger picture, you can obviously do both, however, to get your FIRST piece of Purple, it will help you tremendously to pick one or the either, and stick with that for a bit.   Why is this? Because there are three different vendors you can get gear from: Your Class Vendor/Vanguard Armory, The Crucible Vendor, or any of the Faction Vendors. Your Class Vendor/Vanguard Armory requires Vanguard Marks, and the rest require Crucible Marks. So, if you want to focus on PvE, then just stick with your Class Vendor for now. However, if you want to focus on PvP, then you should probably pick something from the Crucible Vendors at first.   Everyone requires Reputation before you can purchase Purple equipment from them. Your Class Vendor requires Vanguard Rank 2 for Armor pieces, and Rank 3 for Weapons. Crucible Vendor requires Crucible Rank 2 for Armor, Rank 3 Weapons. Factions requires Rank 2 with that Faction to purchase Armor, Rank 3 for Weapons. How Do you get reputation?   Ah, now we are getting to the Grinding. Vanguard (PvE) rank is simple: you can do Strike Playlists, which will put you in a random Strike, and you will earn Rep AND Marks (Marks are the currency used to purchase equipment). On the Left side of your screen will be a "Daily Heroic Story" which will award bonus Vanguard Marks once a day for completing that specific Story mission Hard Mode. Below that is a Weekly Heroic Strike, which will also award rep and marks, but is limited to once a week. You can also do Vanguard bounties and Patrols for reputation. You are capped at 100 Marks a week though, but you can grind until you get Rep 3 all you wish.   For PvP, it is set up pretty much the same, except you just have to participate in the Crucible to get Marks and Reputation. You can also do Crucible specific Bounties to increase your Crucible Rep.   As you can see, this is why it helps to pick which mode you want to focus on at first, since you are going to have to grind rep with either Vanguard or Crucible to 2 and then 3, and then use the Marks to purchase gear.   Ah, but what about Factions? Factions (Dead Orbit, Future War Cult, New Monarchy) are a bit trickier since they require their own Rep, AND Crucible Marks to purchase items. If you wish to go that route, simply purchase one of their Class Armor items when you hit 20 (should be the only thing you can actually purchase), equip it, and start earning Rep by the same way you earn rep listed above, but now it will count towards that Faction, instead of Vanguard or Crucible rep.   What's the level cap? Well, technically there isn't one. Once you hit 20, you stop gaining levels from Experience points. Instead, your post-20 levels (21, 22, etc) are based on your GEAR. Specifically, a new stat listed on higher level gear (usually Blues) thats called "Light." When you equip a piece of equipment with the Light stat on it, it is like adding a small bit of XP to your progress bar to 21. Equip enough pieces with Light, and you will hit 21. You must seek out better gear with even higher Light stat numbers on them to level to 22, then 23, etc. Its a long process to say the least. Also, dont forget to upgrade your gear, because it will also increase the Light stat number on that piece of gear, getting you ever closer to the next level.   Edit...picture explaining Light Level: http://imgur.com/aUN5QFP   As you can see, i have "28" points in Light, and the Bar is about 75% full, so im guessing i need 40 Points I need 32 points of Light to hit 22, so i need gear with an additional 4 points of light combined to hit level 22.   This game is designed for the End-game grind (like most MMOs are). You will want to upgrade your gear so you can do harder missions, which in turn will drop better gear, and more marks and reps to allow you to buy the bestest gear. Or, you can just play nothing but Crucible, grind rep, do Crucible bounties, get your Marks and purchase them that way. In either case, it is a grind. So good luck!!

50 yards standing to 35 yards.  Then head shots at 12y and 7y:
 

No, I'm right handed.  Go to post #153 in this thread and look at the diagnostic target.  See where it says "tightening fingers" on the segment that's about 8 o'clock?  That's what I'm doing.  I'm not "milking" where you tighten all your fingers as you squeeze the trigger and then relax as you let off the trigger which would pull you to the 4 o' clock position, I'm simply too tight on my strong hand throughout the trigger pull.  Lefties would flip that target left to right.
 
    Yeah, JM is a machine.  That's what thousands of hours of dedicated practice can do for you, along with keen eyesight and a good grasp of geometry.

Complete except for a sling.  PSA (Blackhawk! furniture) lower, PSA upper with quad rail, Inforce light (WML- Haley Strategic version), Eotech EXPS-2 sight, Magpul angled foregrip.

I had my 3rd range inservice for the year, and even though I was using the issued Glock for the majority of the shooting, I saw a marked improvement in my accuracy at 25 yards to 50 yards.  I was able to shoot more intuitively despite the different platform, so dry fire practice does have benefits beyond the particular weapon platform you are practicing with.  I still did not shoot as well as I do with my Sig, but that's a given for me at this point.  Today I tried to really concentrate on why, and I think a lot of it boils down to the pistol grip.  The fatty Glock grip just doesn't let me feel like I have a good purchase with my support hand, making me squeeze to hard with my strong hand, pushing rounds left.  When I combat that, I can bring them back center.  Sights are also a limiting factor, I really like having a different color up front as it allows both eyes open shooting to be easier and more accurate, as well as faster to acquire.

They are worth every penny. I loved mine for the Xbox. If I decide to start playing CoD a lot again I'll definitely get one for the ps4

Interesting...

I have pre-ordered... PS4, I did it straight after seeing the reveal, it really did perk my interest up for AW a lot...

I used to love the Thompson in World at War. Damn it, you guys have me wanting this game.

I may regret it but I'm getting it. I need a shooter to play.

Trip down memory lane while we wait




 
 
 
I can't remember if COD 4 actually had a proper multiplayer trailer

Looks kinda like BO2 on crack. So in one way i'm happy but i am worried about the amount of movement involved. As Euan said i'm worried that the scufless will be on a different level.
It was also nice to see they weren't afraid to use previous developers ideas and give them credit. And Ghosts wasn't mentioned once!!

I would imagine that's the reason why! I will watch you guys play this game. I like watching streams.
