The last thing you can do on the beta is the crucible. That is what I was most interested to play. To see the shift change from a six person teams to four. I am little disappointed on the teams dropping as we have a nice crew that all play and if we all want to play together, we are going to have to do a private match. While playing the matches I felt like they were a little off balance. It didn’t seem to have that same flow as the first installment. Between control and countdown, the two game types you can play, they seem to get one sided pretty fast. I can see that getting very frustrating. The two maps feel very small with what seems like a lot of choke points, which I guess is good for 4v4, but I hope they can fix the balance issues. Don’t be like CoD.
Overall, I am extremely excited for the new game. The new abilities feel fun and fresh. The new types of guns are intriguing and there is a new class ability that is available. It is going to be interesting to see what transfers over as Bungie put on theirwebsite:
“Sequels represent the start of a new adventure for every player, with new worlds to explore, new stories to tell, new powers to acquire, new loot to earn, and much more. This led us to a decision that would enable us to serve both the game and the player’s best interests: Destiny 1 power, possessions, and Eververse-related items and currency will not carry forward.”
We do know that your characters appearance will carry over, but it appears that is about it. I do hope they add a customizer where you can adjust how your current character looks, because I made the mistake with a stupid haircut on my titan.
