I guess you missed people talking about the pulse rifle sucking and the Handcannon being less than expected. The build used for the beta was not even the latest build that they had at the time, so there will be more different than you expect. Destiny is advertised as a shared world shooter not an MMO and therefore you only need to communicate with your three or six man team. If you want split screen multi or coop that's fine, but don't act like its more reasonable than anything else people have asked for.
