New map, new gametype. New weapons. New armor.

New!

Gamescom vids begin to appear

The person being filmed is just wrecking people. The gametype is basically from Call of Duty, but it looks fun. I like the looks of this map. I'm whatever on the weapons and armor.

THIS is how Gameplay vids should be...

The guy has clearly held a controller in his hands before, he tells you all of the details that you might wish to know up front (Extremophile 011? SOLD!), and then he shuts up and lets the gameplay do the talking. And boy does it talk.

You can see where he starts to lose focus and patience with the spray n' pray, which is hilariously relatable, and you can tell what plays he was going for when he messes up (watching someone miss a Fist of Havoc is always a painful thing).

As has been stated, the gametype is literally just Kill Confirmed, which means lots of map movement and an emphasis on traveling in groups, which is something that only Salvage really encourages, so it's nice to see more of that in Destiny.


PS. Nice to see that he had no interest in Heavy. There are dozens of us! Dozens!

I also really like the weapon aestetics, though I'm not likely getting ANY Year 3 armors (my characters are pretty much perfected. More on that later...), barring the return of Viper Spine legs for my Warlock... Man, Year 3 Armor is looking invariably ugly. :/

But yeh, great video.

Shaxx seems... Chatty

Immediate Thoughts

1. In Supremacy, sniping is pointless; Kinda forces me to change the entire way I play the game.
2. That Dead Orbit auto rifle seems to be really effective.
3. That radar artifact is sweet.
4. Shaxx talks too much in the video.
5. Game types that always go to the end of the time limit always seem long to me even if they are actually shorter.

Some Tips

Sniping isn't pointless, but it is certainly reduced in effectiveness. If you are working as a team, having one guy staying back and providing overwatch can work well. Typically however you want to be moving and cleaning up. The last person standing to pick up all the crests can make a boatload of points.

Shotgun warriors are also in trouble since they will often trade, leaving points for either team to clean up.

Also, grouping up invites all those big supers, so you don't want to be too close without a tether handy.

It looks like ARs get a range buff. Several times he was hitting at a fair distance and doing significant damage.
