They could have used the turbine shooting segment for the look inversion tutorial test.

You shoot the top turbine, then the bottom one and the game asks if you like how that feels. Then it inverts your controls and has you repeat the task.

No it's not a flaw that it waits until the end of the mission to ask you this, why do you ask?

Lets all be honest. The whole mission exists (including the turbines) and is in the beta purely to show off the engine improvements and to make the 3 people who haven't already preordered do so.

There's gonna be some big mission where you have to bust into a Cabal ship to rescue The Speaker before the end of the campaign and it'll be a shocking twist that he's working with Ghaul and there's some lame-rear end strike boss where you shoot him and get a helmet.

My ultra sweaty 4 man came up against another ultra sweaty 4 man team last night. Twice in a row.

In the first game they took control of B first and camped it the entire match. They wiped the floor with us.

In the second game we took control of B first and camped it and we wiped the floor with them.

Neither games were close. Both team had equally highly skilled players.

With abilities, ammo, weapon damage and movement speed being so low, the options for making plays or getting teams out of position are extremely limited.

Both those games were boring and poo poo. Losing sucked but winning gave no sense of accomplishment. In the game we won i killed their fision rifle dude with my fusion rifle then kill 4 more guys with my fusion rifle unopposed.

Oh and the connections still sucked loving dick.

I'm worried about Destiny 2.

All the dipshits who wanted "more story" aka sick-rear end cutscenes with the queen and big titties and "my character should speak more!!!" as opposed to "minimally coherent narrative" that serves as a good, vague but interesting backdrop for spending 3000 hours playing a Dead Gay game.

I think there's going to be a lot more synergy with armor and weapon perks and abilities than we have right now but the lethality over all is a little low.

Solo rolling last night was a slightly frustrating experience. I still topped my teams leader board by playing conservatively but like cheese factory said. You can't make a play solo to root out the enemy team from controlling the map.

I got a nice triple kill with a lightning and a smg but because of the slow recovery and nature of pubbies not pushing the point I died to the 4th dude who dropped his shield and got reinforced super quick and from there I kind of had to camp and peck at people to stop from getting farmed.

There is a way to fix it with a little faster cool downs, a little quicker base movement and a little more punch from weapons.

I feel kind of like a human gun turret. Move to area, deploy and watch the line. Shoot mans, run to cover and heal and repeat.

I'm hoping they tune it a little bit more to be a little more open and free running playstyle with perks for regenerating health and harder hitting damage. I'm having to use a playstyle I loving hated in d1.

I'm still enjoying the difference of it and the new challenges it brings but if they want this to be the huge hit they need they need to be open about their change plans from beta to release.

I dunno I have mixed feelings I guess. It's like eating an average pizza. It's good because pizza owns but it's not hard to make a real good one and you kind of cant help but feel a little let down at the end of it because the potential for it to be great is right there.

quote:

The PVE game tuning has changed pretty significantly since the Beta build was deployed. The nature of a Beta of this scale requires that it’s based off a build of the game that is now months old. So, in many cases, your feedback is helping us validate changes that were previously made based on internal feedback and playtesting. For example, we too felt that ammo (especially power ammo) was too scarce in PvE. In addition to retuning the drop rates, we built a system that guarantees power ammo drops for you and your Fireteam from certain enemies, giving power weapons a more reliable and predictable role in your arsenal. Other areas where we’ve made significant tuning changes include grenade effectiveness in PvE, Boss vitality, and weapon damage against non-player combatants.

Sounds good

quote:

So, what’s new for Matchmaking in Destiny 2? The obvious PvP evolutions are the 4v4 format and the two consolidated playlists. We hope these changes have a good impact on game quality. Destiny 2 Crucible Matchmaking places a greater emphasis on connection quality, but make no mistake: Skill is still a big component in finding worthy opponents for you to fight.
