Yeah that's a good idea, I'm down to throw down $5 or whatever on a prize. I'm just not sure what the best way to do voting would be. Maybe a temporary thread with a poll?

I'll just make a survey monkey poll and link in the relevant slacks/discords/here

I hope you can use Titan shields to block the doorways in the first PvP map we saw so enemy players can't even get in the room to diffuse the bomb once you set it

Maybe Destiny 2 will have a payload mode in the future. In a payload mode having a wall that protect you in only one direction kind of makes sense. Bullets are coming from a direction, and you are kind of forced to be near the payload so it moves forward.

Overwatch have a lot of characters that can create or use walls in that sense. But with more imagination than what we have seen in Destiny.

Same engine so should be fine. At worst you might need to tweak sensitivity a little.

I mean, I feel like it's probably a good thing they aren't trying to make people addicted to their loving game by a time limited beta and show to the world they have competent solutions to the laughable shitpile that is the post-TtK ingame economy and progression, but maybe that's just me? :shrug:

You can use the Halo 4 smart translator in Destiny and it works just fine.

Just to give you an idea of how little bungie actually does to their game engine.

They never said that the game was only shipping with 2 subclasses, people are just assuming that. Also, shadestep is the hunter class ability, that could've been any subclass of hunter.,

I admit to only half rear end paying attention to D2 videos but I thought the Hunter class ability was like a standing up side step dodge, not a full fledged multi directional roll.

There's a preview video somewhere out there that details the differences between them. Like, you can spec your titan barrier to be waist high or full height, and then the hunter shade step has one that reloads your weapon and the other does something that I can't remember. Anyway, they say that the different specs have different dodge animations.

Does the novabomb operate the same? I got the impression it was kind of like the Doom BFG now from the snippets in the crucible reveal.

It seems like it floats through the air rather than being affected by gravity, and also looks to have a pretty fair degree of tracking as well. The one we saw could've just been specced that way, too.

There's been some class perk trees shown already that seem to alter the super and your ability synergy a little bit. I think we saw more of a traditional nova go off in one of the strike videos.

I'm gonna guess they have some kind of axion nova instead of shatter or lance or whatever.

On the flip side of that, Bungie sure has gotten a hell of a lot of mileage out of that code. As they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
