Yeah, but if you paid attention to it after blowing up one of its legs, you would have noticed that something popped up behind its head. It kinda required you to be looking at it from the side to notice, however.

I didn't notice it the first time around, so don't worry. =P

to be fair

the first time I had to do it all by myself because the 2 other dudes couldn't quit getting shot by everything.

The Scout rifle is a good weapon, but you must adjust your play accordingly. It works well on the moon for the long sightlines, but can be troubling on smaller maps, running and gunning with it will prove problematic....shoguns anyone?

@G4S Claude VonStroke the Cydonia is a good weapon, but did you try the Shingen-C? I had a green one and, it quickly became a weapon I kept in the vault so my other characters could use it. It was amazing. The version I had had better accuracy when crouched, and wow, taking a territory crouched down watching a door became a piece of cake. Good stuff. I'll be looking for that gun come September.

Shotguns are ridiculous in this game, lol. If you get a small map, you had best have a shotgun and pick up plenty of ammo for it and just decimate everyone that comes your way.

Is it AoE? Legit question as I don't know. Does it track enemies after it's used?

I've just been told and read all over the place that their super is complete shit.

But a Titan and Warlock can get 6 kills with one super provided the enemies are all there. Unlikely to happen, but at least it can.

You can upgrade it hit more than one person but the stock golden gun can only hit one person at a time. It's extremely accurate anyways so it's not much of a problem that you have to manually target everyone.

The Titan and Warlock's super moves need to be toned down a bit. I played as a Warlock and even said, "This move is a fucking joke. It's a mini nuke." Especially when it is able to track and you get the other various upgrades for it. If the entire enemy team was in a small area, it would obliterate them all.

The Ar-3 is really, really good. Almost too good. I used it simply due to that. Rock an Ar-3 and a shotgun and it's GGs for anyone who crosses your path if you know what you're doing.

It plays almost identically to Halo in so many ways but I'm glad the assault rifle doesn't suck like it did in Halo 3 though. I think the pulse rifle needs a buff, all the other weapons are great and i think they do the perfect amount of damage for the way the game plays.

True that. I was able to get a 10+ kill streak the first time I used one on Shores Of Time. Shotgun+Melee=INSTA KILL. lol

IMO, Scout Rifles work better for PvE (except for those running Hive enemies). Getting headshots in a game with double jumps/air glide/etc. is ridiculously hard with a weapon like that. Once I got my hands on an Uncommon Cydonia AR3, nearly all my PvP problems were solved.

Also, I only had a Hunter guardian, so I don't know how the other classes feel like, but the Golden Gun isn't THAT bad. My biggest gripe with it is that it takes FOREVER to activate. You can't use it on the go like Titans or Warlocks do with theirs, but since I had 3 bullets I didn't mind it that much.

A fun website to check out www.destinytracker.com It gives you a readout of all the important stuff you did in the Beta. I was happy to see that my W/L ratio was 41st on XBone.

I had no idea this site existed, thanks Tyler!
610 K/ 460 D... Damn, I have a lot to improve. lol
And my W/L ratio is BAD. 0.83 :confused:

According to the leaked(?) list of info, the highest raid/mission in the game is a level 31 raid.

Wow this is a cool website. I'm still salty that I got a 10 kill streak in iron banner before I had the 10 kill streak iron banner bounty in my inventory haha.

Thankfully bungie already talked about the changes to vehicles. Also think the auto rifle is a bit too good. The damage per second plus the free head shot from recoil (Seriously just aim at the body and mash the trigger.) I'm garbage at shooters and pretty much used only the auto rifles for those reasons.
Shotguns seem fine to me as you they are only optimal in a specific range.
Fusion rifles also seem alright to me . Yea two hits from it will kill you, but then again you have to charge it. Can't comment on the scout or sniper rifles as I didn't use them much in pvp.

One thing I don't like is the heavy weapons ammo on the field. I just feel we should have to fight for position to be able to use heavy weapons since its essentially a one hit kill.

Finally the special abilities need to be toned down to deal a bar of damage. These abilities are essentially auto kills and not skill based at all.

One thing I forgot to mention is that most of the time I have no idea if i'm getting shot from behind or above. The indicator needs some work.

DUUUUUUUUUUUDE, this happened to me too and I felt so freaking stupid. lol
When it was available I was like "No way I'm picking this one, I'll never do this", and then the very next Iron Banner match I pull it off. haha

RE: class balance I think it's all pretty balanced. Hunter's just has a higher risk / higher reward with a high probability of 3 kills.

Unless you're playing a bunch of dumbasses you'll never get more than 2 kills with AoE supers

Oh man. Remember that sweet ninja route jump on Venus behind the B platform. I saw 4 guardians taking B and though...time to Titan smash them! I double jumped, hit my smash and missed the jump, smashing all the way into the cold water below. It was awesome.

My win streak only exists because I play with some great players, we have been in a shooter community now for 10 years, we've played everything together and we just gel. Fun Fact: Deej --Bungie's community manger created the community i'm in years ago in Chicago, i've been great friends with him for nearly a decade. If you ever come up against TTL (Tied the Leader) you are going to be in for a good game. We love to brag that from our group of 87 players we have 2 community managers and 2 people who are on TV.

My favourite loadout is Handcannon/Sniper/Heavy machine gun.

Handcannon is amazing as it causes soooooooooo much flinch when you hit someone with it, and it's power is ridiculous if you land a head shot, sniper is good in all situations and the heavy machine gun is just the best heavy weapon in the game, especially when you have a mod on it that increases damage and slows fire rate when you're zooming in.

Loving the PvP, can't wait till September!

I avoided getting the Unbroken bounty, of course the next match I got in a pike on the Moon and went crazy.
