Destiny 2 beta, impressions
8 years ago
So, after a few good hours of the beta I'm quite satisfied with what I seen, the story mission was just greatly paced and really set things up for the story, ending cutscene was very gripping and I'm quite sad I'll have to wait until launch to find out more.
Strike was quite fun with a good mix of challenge, boss was perhaps a tad bit spungey but at least the changes phases ads a bit spice.
Pvp I only bothered with control and despite the slower time to kill and slower movement it still felt quite fast, it was really nice to have pvp that was about gunplay.
Honestly I only have two gripes. Ability cooldowns where across the board to much, I appreciate trying to downplay them, but it felt a bit to much, maybe the armor perks that supposingly reduce it will be significant, but honestly I trade weaker armor perks for a faster base speed.
As far as pve is concern I felt power ammo was way to scarce, made the power weapon feel irelivant, luckily this point has already been addressed in between the old build used for the beta and the most current build.
All in all still eagerly looking forward to release

Yeah they seem to have doubled down on actually telling a proper story, with a compelling antagonist and all.
