...I hate you.
I had to work. 
Right here.
Last night I was running around with my shotgun one shotting folks. If my shotgun failed to kill them then my fist certainly didn't.
Best moment was using my Fist of Havoc super on 3 guys capturing the C point on Mars.
Feels good man.

Is it actually? I can't find any confirmation of that online. Have a source? He sounds just a tiny bit off to me.

Changing my religion to Warlock so I can see what it's like, but I'm going to have to play Titan until I figure out where the skill tree stops advancing.
Double tap share button before a round I think.

You are also #1 in deaths
Just had a great crucible match. It was the moon map. Guys left me all alone at Zone A. Whatever. I held my own! 12 kills before being stopped. While the other pursued B and C, I held A! And then after I die, an additional 11 kills before bing taken down. After that, I got too cocky.

I'm just using my extensive knowledge and obsession with Love Actu.... UNDERWORLD. I MEAN UNDERWORLD.
Played 4 story missions, did some explore quests and tried the Strike mission with two other lvl 6 guardians but we couldn't even reach the 2nd checkpoint.
Also did a match in The Crucible (on the moon) in which I got 10 kills.
Really like the game so far but I'm a bit afraid of how many PvE content there will be when retail hits.
PvP seems like a fun distraction to me from time to time but I want to play this game for interesting missions/boss encounters with 2 of my friends for the most part.
There needs to be a lot of loot/builds/enemies/locations or else I think it might burn out fast.
Also, what's with the bullet-sponge bosses? They so far feel like regular enemies with 100 times the HP, and the only 'tactic' involved seems to be hiding in cover when your hp gets low and then to empty your mags on the boss when you are full on health again.

Mass Effect trilogy (despite some Spesh Marinsh pitfalls), Borderlands (very unique style), Freelancer, Starcraft (Rednecks in Space! Again the presentation sells it), Homeworld, Shadowrun Returns (Great world and lore). And of course the Blade Runner inspired SNATCHER
This is purely judging by the unique quirks of each world and it's style regardless of quality of storytelling. Destiny the other hand seems like a retread of Defiance which flopped horribly.
EDIT:
Fallout does post-apocalyptic science fiction much better despite the same-y desert environments. Also, 50's Americana!

I'm assuming Iron Banner events will be a part of the game after release and not just a beta thing?
cool thanks for sharing
that was cool. <-not ironic.
You don't, It's completely random it seems. How it's supposed to work, you press the share button, then a press square to save the clip (the previous 15 minutes of gameplay). But sometimes the square prompt doesn't show up for me and I won't be able to do shit.
You can double tap share to record the next 15 minutes of gameplay, but that defeats the whole purpose of the button.

WAT
there are some Halo pros and semis in the top 100 on that leaderboard and im hovering around them.
Am i actually good at this game or is the aim assist spoiling me?

Does anyone who pre-ordered from game.co.uk know how you get your code? I assumed an e-mail but when I pre-ordered was this download beta item in the basket that seemed to do nothing and just links to Game's promo page for the game.
Starting to lean this way. Reminds me of Spartans from Halo.
Right here!
I'm not amazing but have a K/D of 2.3 and I'll be streaming most the day here:http://www.twitch.tv/gaz_rb

should be at least several missions per planet and there are 4 confirmed and more expected. including strikes, raids and explore, there's already much more than Bungie's traditionally done for campaigns. PvP alone sustains people for years, and they have several expansions planned.
Im not worried about content. It just needs to be engaging and replayable.
what platform are you on? I've got a couple of codes for ps4.

I think there will be enough content if you enjoy both PvP and PvE, but I wonder if there will be enough raids, etc to keep end-game PvE content people satisfied.
Overall, I'm very much enjoying the beta, but my main gripe is the story.
It's so vague that it almost feels like I'm playing a Souls game.
It's basically; you were dead for a long time, bot made by a giant alien moon/planet-spaceship revived you and now you must fight the darkness.
Seriously, this game needs more fluff and I hope that storytelling is messy because it's only a beta and they didn't want to give out too much of the story, too early.
Also, WTF is up with the Devil Walker? Exactly, how many rounds, grenades and supers do I have to fire at that guy to get it killed?
