Latest game test.

Bungie Weekly Update - 04/11/2014 Apr 11 2014 Created by DeeJ This week at Bungie, we trained up some new Guardians. There are times when I get to feel like a mentor in the Tower. When we meet new allies that will help us bring Destiny to the world, the pleasure of teaching them the ways of the Guardian falls to me. They receive a flash lesson in equipping some weapons and gear. I show them how to harness their Light to power fantastic talents of destruction. Once they know how to take their first steps, we strike out on a dangerous mission. I’m not going to tease you with the insistence that they had a wonderful time – and, oh my goodness, if you only you could have seen what they have seen! There’s no point in trying to make their excitement contagious. Your time will come, weekly reader. You’ll make up your own mind about your Destiny. Bungie knows its community well enough to understand that your curiosities can only be satisfied by your own adventures. What I can share with you – what I do hope might be meaningful to your untrained eyes – is what I’ve learned from studying Fireteams on their first mission. I’ve seen every variety of gamer step into Bungie to try their hand at Destiny. Seasoned killers have shown up to play, devouring their mission like action-starved predators. Casual players have suffered at (all four of) the hands of their enemies, choosing to fall back to take their shots from a safe distance. Neither approach to the action is wrong. Here is what their trials have taught me. Tuck them away and guard them as trade secrets to help you survive your first mission: Every member of a Fireteam is important. Of all the firepower you’ll bring with you from the Tower, the Guardians by your side will be your finest weapons. I’ve seen heroes rescue each other from certain oblivion more times than I can count. There are no tourists in the world of Destiny. Every player of this game changes the action, be they hardcore or brand new to the triggers. The Fireteam that fights together thrives together. There is a difference between playing with someone and simply playing near them. When Fireteams work as a real team, they profit. Their abilities complement each other. Their bravery enhances each other. If you can stay close to your Fireteam, you’ll be pretty deadly when you find yourselves backed into the same corner. You must sometimes divide to conquer. While it makes sense to combine your forces, you won’t always want to stand right next to each other. Many of your opponents won’t go down with one shot – or even one reload. You’ll want to goad them into fighting a two-front war. Take turns drawing their fire while your ally delivers the pain. It’s like that old saying: Sometimes, teamwork is just giving them more people to shoot at. Even the lone wolf can strengthen the pack. Not everyone wants to keep the company of a Fireteam. If you’re that guy or gal, you’re welcome to keep to yourself. I’ve seen – but never met – enigmatic snipers camped on the ridge that overlooks a skirmish. Their well-placed shots have saved lives. Without so much as a wave, they’ve mounted up and sped off before we could so much as thank them. There is so much more to learn about how Guardians will come together to fill the world of Destiny with surprising moments. For that, we need you. If you think you’re having a hard time waiting for that moment, we’re polishing the lenses of our scopes in anticipation of our chance to study you, too. Beyond the Sea. In the last weekly update, we told you of the great bug war at Bungie. Less than twenty-four hours after that news reached you from the front, I found myself in the Hive, doing my part. I got me some bugs while the getting was good. My thumbs danced across the sticks as I built a character for the hunt. Warlock? Check. Exo? Sure. I usually pick Awoken, but I was in the mood to slip into something more mechanical. Seated next to me, and listed in my Fireteam, was CJ Cowan. With more than a few Bungie titles on his service record as a cinematic auteur, he’s no stranger to a good old bug bash. In our excitement and haste to get sorted for duty, we ended up dressed in matching outfits. When we realized that we were both Exo Warlocks (I saw it first), we cast that sidelong glance at each other, as if to say “I wear this so much better than you do.” “You guys are both rockin’ the Robot Space Pimp,” said Jason Pate. Our test leader had sidled up behind us, and was admiring our twins. “What was that?” I asked. “Robot Space Pimp!” he continued. “Robot because he’s an Exo, baby. Space because we’re all in space. And pimp because that melee makes it look like he’s slapping fools to take that money.” Everyone in the surrounding seats laughed. You’d have to admit the cloak is pretty pimpin’, too. What's becoming apparent as we all find our favorite class of Guardian is that the cast of characters in this game mean different things to different people. There was a test to ace, so we cut the idle chatter and launched the mission. Sibling rivalry gave way to teamwork. Identical builds became less important to me and CJ than our contest to see who could hurl the deadliest Nova Bomb. When you’re on the side of the Traveler, this is a contest that everyone wins. Thanks to private loot streams, we didn’t look alike for long. Sure, we were still both Warlocks. And yes, we both had the beating artificial heart of a nasty war machine, but we both found the means to be pimpin’ in our own special way.  We should also thank Scott Shepherd and his merry band of armor forgers. If you weren’t present when we opened the GDC Vault earlier in the week, you should check out the work he’s doing with his team to make sure that each of us feels as special as we are badass.
