So basically you gotta keep playing the highest level of Co-Op to try and get better weapons/armor through those green Encrypted Engrams, am I getting this right?
Focus on one leg, destroy it, it's head portion pops up. Use heavy weapon to destroy that part. Should take less than 5-10 minutes with some competency.

I've only played the story mode (I'm level 6) but I'm really liking the game so far. The only multiplayer I've really played at all before this was Uncharted 2, otherwise it's been strictly single player for me. So I don't know how much I'll enjoy the PvP but I'm excited to try it.
As for the main game, it reminds me of Borderlands but that's doing the game a disservice really. Destiny is more fun and much, much better overall. I'm addicted to all the upgrading and so far it has a great sense of progression with good upgrades.
Again I have yet to play the pvp, but if I can get into that I could see this easily being my GOTY.

Wow, Imperatortutor has played 30 hours of pvp already.

Hmm. Guess I need wait for customer services, or make another order and see what happens.
PS3 but thanks anyway.
go to crucible, scroll over to the other 5 game modes, read description.
There's Clash, Rumble, Skirmish, Combined Arms and Salvage.
Totally random, i've got several good weapons/sets in low level missions.

If you go the crucible, you can hover over each of the games and read the descriptions. There's Clash, Rumble, Combined Arms, Skirmish, and Salvage in addition to Control, the current gamemode open in Beta.

explore mode and doing missions will get your engrams and stuff too.
but the strike mission on hard is probably better

I would give many monies for a Halo 3 style ranking system. That was addictive in so many ways.

Anyone else get the Birth of History legendary ship yesterday? I didn't even know I'd got it until I bought a new ship and went to select it.

Personally, I feel there's some unspoken expectation for absurd amounts of content in Destiny. Some of it can be blamed on Bungie somewhat, given that they did initially open up the Destiny reveal with a ton of location concept art.
IMO, if I take the current content of the beta, add an extra 20-30% to account for the places currently being blocked off ( King's Watch, etc), and then quadruple that amount across the 5 confirmed locations ( Earth, Moon, Reef, Venus, Mars)... That is not a small amount of content by any means. And above that, there's PvP (Crucible) and the Vanguard as well. And we can't be absolutely certain that there aren't stuff that's still being somewhat kept under wraps.
IMO, even looking at the minimal expectations of Destiny, I don't think it'll be short of content by any reasonable stretch of the means. Maybe compared to Skyrim or GTAV, but I'm not going to fault Bungie too much if there isn't insane amount of stuff for the first-game.
and xbox people haven't even joined in yet!
also can we have a wall of fame/shame post to see who posted the most in the first beta thread?

Ah I see. Because I noticed that 'Skywatch'' on the hardest is way quicker than 'Devil's Lair' on hardest and you get some decent green Engrams aswell.
ty!
What gear are you guys rocking in pvp for now?
Main: Full-auto Assault Rifle
Secondary: Sniper Rifle
Heavy: Machine Gun
This and the Masterchief Collection are gonna be the end of me this fall, jeez

I just want a damn auto rifle. I'm stuck with a scout rifle right now.
Best auto rifle IMO is Cydonia-AR3. It has range of scout rifle with full auto fire. I feel dirty when I use it in PvP because it is so good.

Looking for a Crucible group. No one I have added is on right now.
Mic and America preferred but the second part isn't a deal breaker. I can't play with Blueberrys, I need a team.
PS4 PSN: LordCastamere
Pm me, add me whatever.

This is a better ranking of skill.

The other shows just played more = more score.... now score avg. per game shows true skills.

I'm partial towards the Sahara AR-3 myself. It's practically a mini Machine Gun, while having good enough stability to rock headshots without needing to be ammo conservative.

Several hours in and I still don't understand what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, or why I should care
and yet I'm still playing
Haven't felt this since Halo

So what was everyone's thoughts on iron banner? Were the advantages noticeable? I have mixed feelings about it. I don't get to play til wed, so I have no real opinon on it first hand. I have seen some if the gear from it and that looks pretty cool.
I wonder how it will work In The final game. Like a weekly challenge type thing or what.

When I first saw "Dry Sea" I always thought you were going to be at the bottom of the ocean floor except all the water has been dried up. Welp . That would have been a very interesting location.

To be honest not a fan of it. It was noticeable. It was almost impossible to kill some folks. So yea not a fan. Overall I'm enjoying the MP with groups but some of the maps suffer from the same problems Halo: Reach had which is no real map flow due to the abilities and multiple layers. While I love the Mars Skybox and look of the level really dislike it gameplay wise.
