There was some talk of strikes being reworked when The Taken King comes out, but everyone's favorite interviewer (well, one of my favorite anyway) Luke Smith told Eurogamer the details. Apparently the Playstation exclusive strikes will be refreshed with Taken enemies, and Xbox users will still be able to play the original version if they choose.

"Only the previously-exclusive strikes are being rejigged in this way, Smith added, but it will bring players on both PlayStation and Microsoft systems together as they try to work out strategies for the new versions.

"So [Xbox players] can play last year's model and, as a community, Destiny fans can play through the new versions together and figure them out," he concluded."

I like this idea.

I would think so. I think the article just worded it awkwardly.

PlayStation fans will have the option of new, tougher versions of the previously-exclusive strikes, while Xbox fans will get to play the old model and the new model.

Sounds like there are two versions of those Strikes now, the "old" original version and the "new," harder version with the Taken. Oddly-worded, but I think it's pretty clear.

"Look out, Cabal!" *20 not-Cabal teleport in*

My hope is that the Strike will start normally then get invaded by Taken partway through, and actually change to reflect it. Might be asking too much though.

The PS exclusive strikes are nothing special and, in retrospect, did not in any way justify my purchase of the PS4 (nor did Destiny, but c'est la vie).

The thing you should be excited about is Hawkmoon. The Hand Cannon that's worth using but isn't Thorn is really, really fun.

Screw Hawkmoon, I want my 4th Horseman!!

I enjoy the Dust Palace strike quite a bit. Undying mind gets old fast, but its fun the first few times at least. If nothing else, it can be intense to go up against the wall of Vex majors on the staircase for the first time.

We already have The Last Word! :p

Oh man, I could really use all that glimmer they'll drop.

They don't drop any glimmer from what I've heard.

Oh man, are you going to be disappointed.

Worst. Strike. Ever.

The PS exclusive stuff isn't that exciting IMO, at least not enough to make the PS4 the "better" option.

I'm not a fan of the Dust palace strike, but I think that has more to do with Mars feeling uninteresting to me.

I DO like the Undying Mind strike for the staircase fight against all the Minotaurs, for some reason it's always really intense for me. When you get it, try playing as Titan Defender and a shotgun. You don't earn any glimmer from them though, even though they are all majors.

Hawkmoon is also really fun, hopefully it doesn't get nerfed before you guys get to try it out.

Says the guy that complains about how nothing in Destiny is exciting...

I think the Undying mind is great. Babies can whine and cry about not getting Glimmer in one part all they want, but there are perfectly good reasons for that, and you can get lots of glimmer during the boss battle (tons of minions, lots of them Majors).

Dust Palace is neat, and I can't wait to see what it'll be like with burns (specifically Solar).

See above.

This Hallway is great, because it's basically Super central. You can generate ridiculous amounts of orbs, and it's a blast to have so much heavy firepower pushing down on you.

Hawkmoon is also really fun, hopefully it doesn't get nerfed before you guys get to try it out.

I mean, other than the three times it's definitely been nerfed, the one other nerf that I'm convinced has happened, and the likely nerf all exotic hand cannons seem to be headed towards...

At this point, I'd say the 4th Horseman is the shining exotic over Monte Carlo and Hawkmoon.

Also the MP maps. I haven't played on Timekeeper, but Exodus Blue is my favorite, and that's totally worth looking forward to.

YEAH ME TOO

Story wise yes, it's a bore. But they're working on that, I guess...

So what? Mars is boring to me. If you asked me my favorite (out of what's available this far) I'd say the moon!

I only recall range getting reduced (for all hand cannons). What were the other two official ones?

I'll get one when I get a husk of the pit :P

No comment on MP.
