Man zero hype from Xbox fans for this game or what?

A lot of them are probably still downloading or don't know that the beta is live today.

Tried multiplayer for first time. Is it just me or is it massively unbalanced, joined a menu that said level advantages disabled but despite me getting the drop on people some were turning around and instant killing me with the same type of gun.

Why no bread and butter competitive mode where everyone on equal footing?


because a rarer gun while being the same type aa less rare,  lower spec guns,  have higher damage. 

 

A normal jigoku sr1 has about 22dmg, where an uncommon jigoku sr3 has 62dmg

 

level disadvantages bring disabled only effects defence,  nullifying the equipment advantages,  weapons on the other hand.. 



I never played it so this comment is completely useless so please go on with your day

Are you sure?  Im pretty sure i read somewhere that they evened out weapon damage multiplayer mode... Sounds like he was just getting his head shot off to me...

my sr3 kills people faster than my sr in multiplayer.

by even out they are probably reffering to the fact the maximum usable weapons damage for any type/class is 62

Although I feel my sr3 kills faster as well, I'm pretty sure that the developers did say that they level out the weapon stats when you are in playlist with level advantage disabled.  I've seen multiple videos saying this on youtube.



Its shocking how different this thread looks. Once the Playstation Beta went live there was crazy discussion, I've yet to see a single person give feedback on the Xbox Beta.

either too busy playing it (i hope) 

or too caught up in console politics. 



Just played a bit on Xbone. Download took 2 hours. It's like a mix of Phantasy Star Online, Borderlands and Halo. Big bosses are tough, if you suck and will be hard to play this game solo. I've already ran across a bunch of immature kids tea bagging dead enemies. Game is pretty good, but I could see this game getting boring once story mode is done with. Combat in Titanfall is done better and feels more natural. I'm not a big of a fan of Halo. This game is definitely better.







VGChartz♥♥♥♥♥FOREVER

Xbone... the new "N" word   Apparently I troll MS now | Evidence | Evidence

I'm level 6 I believe, almost level 7.

Positives:
Enemies look awesome, Bungie has always exceled at that
Nice special effects
Partying up and playing online together is very smooth and easy
UI is very simple and easy to navigate
Dat typical epic Bungie soundtrack

Negatives:
Shitty gunplay
Sluggish controls
No gore?
Voice acting is TERRIBLE
The PvP in the beta is TERRIBLE
Loot system is not explained at all
A countdown timer if you leave the designated area? In what is essentially an MMO? lulz
AI is not up to Bungie par

The AI might be solved by later levels and higher level enemies. The loot I can brush up on by reading, the game has never really been too appealing to me so I haven't read up much on it. I am really shocked at the controls and voice acting. And I guess the gunplay. It might have the most disappointing shotgun ever in a game?

Haven't done a strike mission yet. I will say, it seems like it will be much more fun online with people, which is what I have been doing in a 2-3 player party. Borderlands I spent hundreds of hours in (mostly the first, the sequel was trash imho) but it was almost entirely solo. This game I think will be the opposite, much less entertaining solo.

Based off the beta it is still a no buy for me, but my brother is pretty impressed and we share an account so maybe he buys it.
