First off I just want to say that I had a blast with the beta. Played the figurative crap out of it. So here's my thoughts both good and bad! [b]Player Customization [/b] I was happy with how my characters looked but I'm hoping that we just had a limed amount of choices in the beta. If that was the final list we need facial hair for the men(heck add if for the women too!) and more makeup choices/piercings for the women. [b]Story Missions[/b] I absolutely got the sense that there was a much bigger story waiting to unfold. Dialog was fine and I was happy with the ghost(Dinkle-bot). Although why change the "rub two sticks together" line from last year's E3? There should also be more dialog when you're turning in a quest. Would have been great if Cayde-6(Fillion-bot) responded "You killed a Wizard? Nice hunter! Now go kill 10 more." And please if I'm in a Fireteam doing a story mission have them in the background of my cinematic shots. Would also like them to remove the countdown for the Mission end and let us leave when we want to leave("hold X to leave" or something). [b]Exploration[/b] Easily my favorite part of the game. Even when I was visiting places I had been I managed to discover something brand new. Would like to be able to grab a couple missions at a time instead of just one. The random events like the Hive-Fallen battle was great and the public events were a blast. Even went to the the entrance of the Devil's Lair in the exploration area and killed the devil walker(much more difficult when enemies aren't spawning that drop ammo). [b]Strike Mission[/b] The only thing I'd change is to have the bosses themselves drop loot each time. Would make it feel more like a dungeon that way. Other than that they were great. [b]PvP Multiplayer[/b] Spent most of my time playing the Crucible and Iron Banner. Had a great time and kept coming back for more. Some of the weapons may need some balancing but I have faith that if anyone can fix that Bungie can. [b]We need to be able to assassinate people from behind[/b]. If I snuck up on you you deserve to die in one hit. Also I'd like to see vehicle boarding. Not necessarily hijacking but if I got that close to you then quite frankly you don't deserve that ride. Venus, Earth, and Mars maps all felt well balanced. Although Mars had a couple cheap spots where you could protect the point very easily and not be anywhere near it. Venus was easily my favorite map of the four. Ah yes, the moon. My problem with the Moon was that it didn't seemed to flow all that well. Battles seems sporadic and I would go minutes without seeing another player. The map just feels too big for only 12 players. [b]TLDR[/b] Had a great time but saw some things that can be improved on. Can't wait until Sep. 9th!
