Sweet! Looks like the activities are:
- Opening mission
- Strike
- PvP (one or two maps?)
I think I'm okay with no Patrol, even, mostly because that will leave more of the final game to explore. Being able to completely consume the Cosmodrome during D1 Beta was fun, but left little to explore once D1 shipped.

I'm guessing it's precisely what was playable both at the Destiny 2 Launch Event and at E3. (Not sure about Subclasses - just talking play spaces.)

Additional Info from TWAB:
- 1 crucible map featuring Countdown
- 1 crucible map featuring Control
- The Farm will be open for 1 hour on Sunday July 23
But will there be wizards?

The 23rd being when the beta ends. Reminds me of the Moon.

It also reminded me of the moon in that I probably will entirely miss it like I did the moon because I'm not part of the 9-5 M-F rat race deathstyle. Pft. At least it is announced in advance(ish) this time.

I'm going to be in China for the whole beta. :(

I'll miss out on it, too, for vacation. I'm a bit disappointed, but the real launch isn't too far away, and the more limited nature of this beta compared to the Destiny 1 beta make me feel like I'm not really missing out on much. While playing them myself is obviously different, I've already seen that mission and strike more than a dozen times, so I feel okay.
Is/was there an Alpha?

Last time around I was part of some sort of Alpha. I'm fuzzy on the details, which consoles I played on and how I took part in it. IIRC, it was not full on open to the public, but I don't think it was preorder based either. Was there some sort of sign up?
Anyway, is there an alpha for D2 I should have signed up for? Or maybe they feel more confident in the tech this time around? Or maybe there was an alpha and all of you are under NDA.

They talked about "alpha" on the latest Bungie Podcast. Essentially, it's an internal-only warmup for the Public Beta to make sure things are working properly. You're not missing anything.

D1's Alpha was PS only and they gave out some codes for it, part of which you had to sign up on Playstation's site, but I believe they gave out some codes on the forum too.

Nope, Alpha was much more private this time, saw a few employees say it was internal only.

The Alpha was called "Destiny", and it came out September 2014. You may have noticed the temporary voices for a few of the characters.
:-p
