All the complaints about repetitiveness, a “lack of content”, and all this other crap doesn’t even matter to me.
Literally all I want Bungie to change about this game right now is loot drops in Crucible. Because right now it’s fucking balls. It’s almost as if it gives the people who do worse the better gear. Which is blasphemous.
It literally rewards you for siting down in the middle of a game and doing jack shit.
I think the people who have been playing Halo for years definitely have an advantage in the PvP of this game. Especially if you played a lot of Halo: Reach, which imo is almost exactly similar to Destiny’s PVP. Both games give you powers to fuck around with, a lot of the guns between the two games feel insanely similar (Heavy Machine Gun = SAW, anyone? Shotgun = every Halo shotgun ever, anyone?), movement feels extremely similar, there’s a lot of familiar reticle shapes…
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by PVP, you could try your hand at Skrimish. That’s a pretty good playlist for newcomers. It’s small-scale team combat, with a mix of objective every now and then iirc. I know that’s where I spent most of my time trying to get a feel for the multiplayer in this game.
It’s also important to note that 95% of the time you’re gonna want to aim for the head. If you’re running into a lot of enemies who manage to kill you first (even though you both start shooting at the same time), it’s probably because every one of his bullets went for your skull. The exception to this rule of “always aim for the head” is if they’ve already lost their shields, or you’re shooting someone in the back.
I was playing mainly off the Strike playlist yesterday and I was getting decent gear/engrams after every mission. Nothing crazy but you get loads of Weapon parts and can level up the Cryptarch really fast.
Iron banner is kind of a dud. Doesn’t feel any different than normal crucible. You don’t get any rep from a loss, so there’s tons of rage quitting. Iron Banner gear has the same stats as normal legendary gear, so it’s just for aesthetics. There’s only one armor piece for the hunter. Only plus is Iron Banner gear only cost 10 marks, but you have to grind to Rank 3, and you get no rep from losses.
something weird happened to me in iron banner, i was playing for a little bit, and then on my last game i noticed that i didnt get any iron banner rep from completing the match, but i did get crucible rep.
i dont know when it happened, but i think it put me into regular crucible matches from iron banner without any warning. not sure if there is a level restriction or not, but there was a level 8 guy running around in the last few matches.
i really hope this isnt the case and that i was just mistaken.
if you score worse than me, you suck. Until then, you have hope.
I don’t know about others, but the crucible hates me. Out of the times I have gone in, I only got the big chief earlier yesterday. Tried Nightfall earlier and got clowned by the fact that NONE of my fucking weapons had arc damage (You can probably guess which type of burn came up tonight. :bluu: ) That’s okay though. Gonna put it on 'em and SOON.
EDIT: I should’ve said void damage earlier. purple, not blue.
You know as well as I do that multiplayer adds a whole new dynamic to a game. You can be “doing the same thing,” but the fact that you’re playing against various human opponents creates unique experiences every time. That is NOT the same as Destiny’s cut and paste mission design, being forced to replay the same missions and locations with the same spawn patterns every time.
