As I get older I'm liking competitive MP less. Hoping this game lives up to the hype.
Would fire.

July is a great time for it. Not much else going on that month.

A beta? No.
Try marketing demo / standard industry practice PR stunt.
Making folks think they are helping improve the game and test it before release with these things is just a joke, really.

At least it's the beta 2 months before release. While Titanfall was ALPHA 2 months before release.
Nope. $5 and trip to gamestop will get you a code.
With a game the size of Destiny, it better be nearly done 2 months before release and be fully onto polish and network stabilization. This game is tremendously ambitious and has been in development for 4+ years so it better be solid.
And both are better solutions than Battlefield 4, which is in Beta 6 months after release.
The earliest one will see a PS4 pricedrop is late 2015.

Quick question. In order to get the beta I need to pre-order right? Does that include online retailers like Amazon? Also when would I get the code, a few days before the beta or right after I preorder?

Hell yes. I was hoping for June but this will do.
Amazon works, they email you the code to register it on Bungie's site straight away.
If you're in the US, you'll get your code right away from Amazon. In Europe, they won't be going out until closer to the beta.

Ah alright then thanks, guess I'll preorder right now off Amazon.
Edit: Yeah I'm in the US, so I'll get it right away.
Might depend on where you are in Europe, in the UK it's straight away.

Hmmm, true. Despite your previous warnings, I set myself up for disappointment by expecting it to come out in May. Then I settled for post E3 June. Now it's gonna be July...

Damn that beta is so far away. I really don't know how I'm going to make it.

Ahh ok. I know some people on here had said that hadn't received their code yet but weren't in the US and I couldn't remember what country they actually mentioned they were from other than it was in Europe.

2 months sound so far.
It was Amazon UK IIRC. Some people got it immediately. Some didn't.

Have you played a bungie beta?
They haven't said but I can't see the actual beta going for longer than a week. I'm expecting PS users get 7 days and Xbox users will get 4 days total.
Yep, and you can see a lot of content deleted from the beta into every Bungie games.
Seriously, who could be hyped for a Halo meet Borderlands game?
It's supposed to come to PS4 first. A week is my best guess.

They also tune the weapons and stress the servers. And is that a trick question?
Depending on the baby's temperament and the wife, you might not have much to worry about. I thought baby would royally fuck up my gaming schedule, yet he has little to no effect really. I get to feed him before bed so I get some weekday bonding from that while during the weekend he sleeps in an auto swing while I game.
I remember we lose the best Halo Covenant Carbine ever after the Halo 3 beta. :'-(
And no, that's a serious question.
I mean, yeah the game sure looks good and will play smooth, but from what we have seen so far, there is nothing new or impressive in this game.
The social aspect seems cool, and I expect the competitive multiplayer to be a CoD with Halo gunplay, so it will be fun I guess, but this game brings nothing new on the table except a seamless matchmaking for some quick events.
I will have to wait to learn more about the story, but from what I have seen since the last year, the game looks good but not new, and I'm pretty sure no one would look at it if it was not made by Bungie.
