What is your favorite competitive multiplayer map?

Moon 31 41.89%
 
Earth 11 14.86%
 
Venus 19 25.68%
 
Mars 6 8.11%
 
Total:67

Anyone with problems on the AI should definitely check out the moon if they open it back up before the Beta ends. Those guys are straight up bullet dodgers. I swear I saw one of them Wavedashing like in Smash Bros :/ ... lol, no but seriously, the Earth is the beginning area, if the AI scales between planets like it did from Earth to Moon (although the moon isn't...nvm), this game could get real nasty real fast.



Thanks jlmurph!

Crucible is balanced so that everybodys weapon and armor stats are equal.  Iron banner isnt, so level and equipment are a big deal...

I have read this before but when playing the game, it doesn't add up. If Crucible were balanced, my weapons should be 1-2 hit kills also. If these weapons are so powerful in a balanced mode like Crucible, they should destroy me even more in Iron Banner but even against level 8 guys charging their pistols and firing fusion rifles etc I lived longer and killed them. Oh well, I am sure they will make it more balanced. If not lulz.



Apparently there is only one area on each planet in the game, which means all the talk they had about other areas on Earth must have been removed for DLC purposes. Like Chicago. They must have some pretty massive DLC plans for the game.

I'll personally still wait for Bungie to post verification of this on their website before I throw it in the confirmed bin.

The game plays great on the 360. I really don't see a big difference at all from the X1 or Ps4 versions.

Well it came directly from Bungie in a live stream so yeah.

Yeah i hread that. But if you look at the map, there are 5 speres. 7-8 missions, a couple of strike missions and free roaming. that's still a lot of content for a game. And you are right, this is Activision. Expect major DLC.



Does anyone feel like the Warlock is OP?

Crucible nullifies defense and sets the same damage value for each weapon class. 1-2 hit kills is all it needs because the armor defense has been removed and everyone has the same low defense, in Iron banner, level stats, defense, weapon and equipment attributes as well as the additional stats/effects of leveled up armor and weapons matter, so if you have mediocre equips and someone shoots you with a high end gun, you will die fast, where as if you shoot someone in high end armor with a mediocre gun, they wont.

Another thing I have noticed to, headshots do a range of damage based on the angle, the back of the head takes least damage and it increases the further around the head till you get to the front, with face taking highest damage.

I played crucible and iron hammer, and at first i was getting slaughtered and thought it was shit, but because i wanted the rep to buy some of the legendary gear in iron banner i stuck it out, after 10 or so matches i was holding my own and finishing ranked in the top 3 score wise.

this. I had the same experiance about 5 matches or so I was sucking bad, and was not sure if I liked the PvP then it clicked and even when I was in the .8 to 1.0 K/D ratio range it was a blast. I am still not great but I usually average 1.25 to 1.5, but I also usually lead the team or close to it in Caps.

Also weapons and armor dont mean anything in crucible but a high level still has advantages. The biggest being most of your abilities work (not sure on the Codexes), for instance I tried a match before I got my enchanced jump and it made a huge difference once I learned it, also think unlocking of better grenades helps. In the final version higher lvls will also have access to subclasses.
