I played with a group of randoms in party chat tonight and had a blast. Looking at my scores I didnt fare that differently, but I had a much better experience overall. Being able to communicate with your team makes all the difference (as did tooling about in the Tower for about an hour just chatting beforehand. I *really* like the Tower as a social space)

Might give it another go later and see if it was just a bad match.

Sorry to rant, just wanted to see what the general opinion is

My opinion is that so far crucible is fun as shit!

The games on the moon though? Totally dependant on who's interveptor survives the initial clash. If *IM* capable of going 20-0 with it, that thing is definitely OP haha

Or you play with idiots who don't know you can use your super or heavy weapon to blow it up ezpz.

I never played Body Count, seemed like a populist compromise to those without the patience for finer game modes.

Holy shit that sounds like I am an egotistical elitist SOB... but I really had no attraction to that game mode!

You're in good company. JJ despised it.

I can't hear it.

I'm guessing you're using Chrome. (I tried it in Chrome, and there was no sound.) Try it in something else (or download it and play it with a native movie player).

Downloading and playing with VLC worked, but I actually tried every browser I have before I posted and got no sound in any of them (which means Chromium v. 35, Chrome v. 36, Firefox v. 30, and IE v. 11).

Of course WMP will have trouble playing it...

QuickTime videos? Not a problem. What is a problem? A random percentage of YouTube videos that never play audio for an unknown reason. But you've read me bitching about that.

My PSN ID is Guardian513 so feel free to add me as a friend.

Most of us have our gamertags/ids on this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0As2JheUlkO_jdHhSeThRY0VpN0tRbXBkVGVBYzBvN3c#gid=0

I guess I'm some other someotherguy ^_^

What platform are you playing on? There were 4 or 5 of us playing for a few hours on PS4 last night and a great time was had by all. As far as microphones, I think talking amongst players is turned off unless you are in a fireteam or a PSN party. I'm sure a handful of us will be on PS4 and PS3 for most of the weekend if you want to join up -- we can't promise victories but we can promise a good time!

I'm PS4, but Im an xbox convert so my friends list is basically empty. I'd be glad to tag along, thanks. Though I probably wont help much on the victory front. I'm on UK time though, so that could potentially be an issue?

The other thing is, is voice chat disabled during Crucible matches? Either that or no one else is using their mic, which makes coordination pretty hard.

Right, you need to be in a Fireteam or PSN Party for voice chat to work.
