Game feels really good for the most part, am stoked for the full release. I like "countdown" (stupid name), I like the story mission and the strike, I like what I've played of the new sentinel Titan (though I kept making bubbles by accident when I wanted Captain America!). I like the new crucible UI with tons of info. I even like the weapon loadout changes, though I think power ammo is way too stingy in PVE and don't like the selfish nature of it in PVP.
I am very disappointed in the beta however
There's basically nothing to it, and in comparison to the Destiny 1 first look alpha and then beta, both which could be grinded hard for their durations with still more remaining undiscovered, it's quite a let down to have basically a crucible only beta. And even that isn't as featureful as the first beta, which at least had two maps without having to change game type, and then iron banner (maybe that'll happen?).
Everyone is level 20 already, there is no levelling up, there is nothing to unlock except weapon / armor drops. The weapons with no different rolls, right now seem dreadful. I get it some people hated not getting the "god roll Grasp of Malok" or whatever despite days of grinding. I am the opposite. I thought it might be OK, but already I got several duplicate weapons and sharded them for no reward at all. I got a nice drop of a full auto scout with stability enhancing perks. Then another. Then watched Lirik streaming, his friend had the exact same gun, soon enough Lirik did too. Meh.
There's no patrol, no tower, nowhere to just go and goof around.
