I really like how you can summon the ghost at any point in a matchmaking/competitive game. I also like how you can switch weapons on the go without having to actually pick them up. Really interesting dynamic BUngie found there.

Enjoying the beta but I still don't know if I think its worth buying. The three classes are the only three that will be in the game and that kinda bums me out. I hit the level cap on the day the beta started(which was technically a day early because I pre-ordered the game). Found the area filled with level 20's. They are completely immune to everything lol. It definitely has potential but im undecided right now. Im a Warlock and I love it! I just wish there could have been a few more classes released to the full game.
So apparently all Xbox Live Gold Members are allowed to play the Destiny Beta for free. Just saw it on my 360's dashboard and hit download. Not a bad move for Microsoft, I think.

I think he meant that you didn't need a beta key from a purchase of a game?
Not sure what that means.
For me, the first section of the game where it's all dark and the fallen are chasing you is what will get me into this game. I want more sections like that where it's a bit scripted and such plus the open world Borderlands style of gameplay.
You realize you're basing a purchase on the beta, right? You don't have to buy it day 1. You can just wait and see how the rest of the game goes. To be honest to complain about the cap is pointless. And you can still level up and unlock new abilities, even while capped. I agree about the classes, but who knows. I smell lots of DLC incoming lol.

That was the entire point for me to play the beta....to see if I thought it would be something I would like to buy. As I said though, Im on the fence. I mean it was really fun doing the missions and even the free roam missions and world events were nice. Even though it takes forever for an event to happen. Im not so sure how I feel about the super chargers in PVP though. It seems a little hectic for everyone to have a one hit kill attack. A guy attacked me while in the tank...I used my super and not only was it an instant kill but it destroyed the tank too. plus I was disappointed by not having any duels. Maybe there will be some in the final product.
As for the level cap...I don't mind the cap of at lvl 8 but I feel getting to lvl 10 in the beta would have been nice since I have been getting lvl 9-10 item pickups.
Im sure with more content I would love it and I know there will be more content but atm I think your right...I should wait a bit before buying.
Played the 360 version and daaaaamn. I was expecting a drop in the visual department, but not that hard a drop. It still manages to look...good considering how big the map actually is.
I have to agree with you there, Zack. I haven't even caught a glimpse of XBox One/PS4 quality and I could tell that the visuals were quite subpar. Mostly on the few panning shots I watched, mainly. In combat everything seems to have a good amount of detail.
I played through the intro, and I have to say I liked the pacing, a lot. The ambience was solid in my opinion, I really felt the sense of dread at being stuck in enemy territory. The gunplay was solid, but that's really no surprise given Bungie's history. I chose the Warlock class, and while I'm not really good at handling grenades, I think I'll be able to have a lot of fun with it once I unlock some more abilities.
If I had the time and money, I could definitely see myself investing both heavily into the game when it finally launches. For now I'll be glad I can give it a run for a short while.

Personally, I would love to make a hybrid class of Long Range and Melee (for Hunter). Sure, I won't be able to maximize skills in either area but that's kind of my play style.
