I'm in, currently loading up a Crucible map.
Hopefully they decide to do modes where you start with basic weapons and you have to find other weapons on the map. That'd make map control more meaningful.
Also they need to put that Grimoire stuff IN THE GAME, NOT A WEBSITE. Fuck that Halo Waypoint crap. Put it in the game so we can look at it IN THE GAME.
Also need an option to voice all Dinklage/Ghost vocals from the DS4 speaker, because that only makes sense so do it.
Also, vocals from the speaker when the PVE or PVP content is loaded so we know to get back from doing what we're doing when the match ends. Do this.
Other than that, sweet stuff!

i beleive that they are if your stats are low though. Whenever my buddy and I would fight them, no hit points would come off them, not even 1s, just nothing. as if we were actually doing no damgae, which was probabaly the case. but as i said earlier thats because we didnt have high enough weapon damage.
I did it 2 days ago, it was 70 minute exercise in defensive combat, especially at the end-boss. Great fun, but at the end... zero loot [except part of shitty boots from random champion monsters]. :-/ Thanks Alpha...
Bungie needs to but better UI notifications when some non-ammo item drops on the ground. This way they can roll away out of sight, and they look very similar to ammo.
So whats the trick for a faster kill on the Strike mission...not the last Boss but the Spider thing before...must of taken us 20 minutes to bring it down...I am guessing you have to kill all the adds around first or do they keep spawning forever...after a while I noticed a sweet spot that light up white when I shot it...and the Boss after was hard also...took us a good 20 minutes again lol...these instances fight are just for 3 players...?
IT'S BACK!
Everyone needs to have the third Heavy Weapon slot unlocked and have rocket launchers. Bring extra ammo, aim for the legs and when the top part of its head is exposed and glowing just keep shooting at it.

For the spider, focus on a leg. You get crit damage on legs. Eventually the leg will break and it will fall down and extend it's neck. Attack the neck for big damage. Use heavy weapons and all you got for the short time frame the neck is out to go even faster. Rinse and repeat for each leg.

Ha, judging by the last page, a lot of you guys need to prepare for when it does go offline! It's going to happen any day now.
Damage the legs until they break, then the red plating on its front core will come off and you will be able to damage it a lot more when it does, but only for a limited time. Then, you have to break another leg to do it again.
I usually focus on one of the front legs and if everyone on your team does it, it will go a lot faster.

Someone brought to my attention,how awesome it would be if you cold call your ships in for support fire. It bursts out of orbit and hover overhead for a bit laying down fire, would be so sick. Space summon yo!
Also we should be able to use the touchpad to move the circular cursor around because it would be faster.
Also let is do third person mode in Explore Mode since that signifies the freedom in Explore mode.

I'm guessing it's winding down? I can't get it at all.
Anyone know if I still have time to pre-order at retailers and get the beta code? Is that offer still going on?
