This pvp is great for a lock - aim anywhere near an enemy and toss your super and benefit - its kinda cheesey really buut running into teams of 3-4 locks spamming it everywhere

Its broken as fuck. With how tight some of the areas get its trivial to just blow the fuck out of an entire team running in with that. Their fault for grouping up like a blob but still broken.

I really don't get the hype on this game what so ever. Been playing it a fair bit and the only reason I see to even look at it is is there is absolutely nothing else coming for another month after it releases. Certainly zero long term appeal to me. Given how poor the story is portrayed I could care less about any additions via DLC and the PvP really isn't sucking me in either.

Shame because the combat has a lot of potential. Well besides being able to hip shoot people from ridiculous distances which I find ridiculous. Otherwise combat feel is pretty tight for a console. Some cool fights (just masses of mobs the mechanics are completely retarded and the AI so bad its easy to exploit) in certain missions but the game is so freaking shallow its pathetic.

I can't believe this came from Bungie.

Yeah in all honesty the pvp is wack as fuck - Hello there team! *uses special and everyone dies* - i mean for a hunter you atleast have to aim but titans can just leap in and own and warlocks can lol nuke! or some shit - its lame

Hunters is only good if you know there are a bunch of people in the next room. You can't use it when people are shooting at you

I just saw some guy with a scout rifle that has the modifier "one random bullet in the magazine causes considerable damage" I want that shit.

I am sooo bad at pvp...I apologize to anyone who has been randomly paired up with me! Everyone is always jumping around and I can't hit them if my life depended on it. I've got all green gear at lv 8 and my main weapon supposedly is decent at 59 damage. Been trying to upgrade running missions but only better drops I'm finding are all lv 9+ required. I guess I just suck at pvp and there is no way around it haha.

How big of a magazine though? If you're talking 1 out of 20 and it fires as slow as some Scout Rifles, that's not necessarily great.

Ya looks like it. Think it ended right at 7 EDT. I finished playing one and went to turn in a bounty and when I got back the option was gone

Anything you can do with the shit you salvage from gear? Like sapphire wire, weapon parts etc.

My friend got the purple ship right before the iron event ended, and we got a couple of purp hand cannons. Didn't see anything else drop.

We went undefeated. I personally like hunter for the double jump, hate that float shit locks have.

I hate the hunter double jump and love the lock float. Love the fact you can travel a nice distance and cut the jump off whenever you want.

Just FYI to anyone wondering.

All the stats crossover to pvp except for attack and armor value, and everyone is essentially the same level.

In the Iron pvp they just tested, everything is used (AC/ATK) including level differences.
Hope they keep that for live, because that is kind of cool.

If they really want to support it make custom games, with no powers with a Halo ranking system.

Is the game going to have any flying vehicle maps like Halo and is 6v6 the highest amount of players per map? I'm actually hoping for some bigger battles then just 6v6.

I think all the pvp maps are 6v6, if you mouse over them (even though they are locked) they will tooltip the sizes and info about each

I was out at family BBQ thing today but wanted to check out the event in case it gave you a badge, so remote played on my vita over mobile LTE. It was cool at first, the tower and menu screens all work great and I bet its gonna be cool for farming stuff or exploring around. However PVP was an utter disaster, I thought I was really terrible on ps4 but on vita it was beyond a joke. everyone else on my team was 3-5k, I was at... 125 points from an accidental kill. Can't turn fast at all, have to TOUCH the vita screen to toss grenades or do a super move, and over internet the vita lags like hell at times and turns into basically broken GIFs. Oh well, still having a vita for remote play is pretty goddamn awesome and I will definitely be using it for everything but PVP.

also sony gold headset sale at best buy ends today, $60 - $10gc I picked one up and its well worth it, its wireless bluetooth and works on PC too

My first couple rounds were at about 0.5 K/D ratio. Now that I've gotten the hang of some of the maps and mechanics of other classes and what they can do, I've been between 0.9 and 1.6
