Right now PvP is bad. Its unbalanced and we knew it would be - the renormalising is cute, but ultimately it just does not fit into the game narrative. Worse, this is just bungie trying to sucker in extra customers from COD, here and there. What will happen is they will all troll the PvP area (no offense to them BTW) and make it feel so disjointed from the PvE experience, ruing the overall product in trying to grab a few extra dollars. The tower definitely has a PvP "feel" to it, with story quietly mentioned. Bungie will also get diminishing returns if they screw the pooch and focus on the PvP. Current marketing and past fans of the genre / studio are wanting an immersive story FPS - not a COD competitor (or worse, failed PvP clone) Bingie need to stick to making the PvE even better - its already fab - and not get bogged into the PvP side. It should be a way to pass the time / settle bro-disputes! NOT 50% of the game's draw factor. @mbTalent - yes, more rpg! I am a "massive" fan of the mass effect franchise. ME did 3 things very well; (third)person shooting, rpg and money making! Bungie should be aiming for the same thing, not running off to COD / battlefield land. ME has proven that you can make a franchise around a multi-sequel, scifi story driven game; with rpg elements, where you are the defender (guardian) of Earth... :) BTW - note what is missing? PvP. ME didnt need it and was slammed when it shoe'd in multiplayer in ME3. Im not suggesting bungie get rid of PvP (!), but they must be very careful to not lose focus of the goal; a story driven single/coop game. Reduce the perks from PvP and distrubute the cool gear to PvE is a good start. That way the PvP can be an arena, a tattoo if you will, of your accomplishments. Not a raison d'etre to boot up the game in the first place, and the "main" way to get any of the cool, interesting and powerful gear. This way it would become a self fulfilling prophecy - good PvP players get better gear, which makes them better at PvP, to get even better gear than everyone!!! What does protecting Earth and cooperating get you? Second rate, white and green loot cast off armaments, apparently!
