So, the Destiny is pretty much over. I got into it when Bungie announced it being an Open Beta.I hit level 8 Pretty quick. I hit it during the final "boss" (or rather bosses)of the "story". In short it's pretty much Halo,with some Borderlands mixed in and a dash of Call Of Duty.

There's three classes to pick from (though I think there's gonna be more in the full version)..Each having their own special abilities and advantages. Warlock, Titan and Hunter. There's also different races to choose from, human, Exo (Which is robot like) and "Awoken" which are an alien species of sort.

I chose to be an Exo, because Being human is lame and boring...and robots are awesome. (if I play a game and I can be something other than human, I'll gladly take it)

The "story" mode plays pretty much Identically to Warframe. You can go solo, or with a "Fireteam".You go through an area...aka a "run" of a certain place, and defeat a boss at the end, get rewards like money armour/weapons..etc.. It got repetitive after awhile. Sometimes you'd find a random weapon,armour piece or engram.(An engram is an encoded thing of sorts, that you then take to someone in "The Tower" to get decrypted and you get a weapon or armour piece.)There's also the odd loot crate you can find....though they don't hold much often.You can also find "dead Ghosts" to revive...not exactly what they were all about...

You can also do a "Free mode" variant of the same area the "story mode" takes place in...and you'll sometimes run across other players battling things. During free mode, random special events can occur, they vary from taking down a huge six legged robot (takes a while to kill, even with 3-4 people) to taking out small drop pods of enemies. You can join in on it or not, it's a completely optional objective. Though the rewards are usually worth it to join in.

Oh yea,when you reach level 3, you unlock a speeder of sorts. Similar to the ones seen in Star Wars....they even sound like them too!

You also have a "Ghost" who's your little floating robotic companion that guides you, summons vehicles for you...and sits over your body when you die, so you can be revived by another player. He kinda reminds me of the "monitor" from Halo.

"Fireteams" is a squad of 3 people.....why there's a limit of 3 for story and freeroam I have no idea...Yet in "the Tower" you can have up to 6 people in your Fireteam....which is only good for fighting in "the Crucible"So if you wanna go play story mode, you basically have to say "sorry, some other time" to your other friends that are in your Fireteam.

The Crucible is where you play PvP. It feels EXACTLY like Halo...it palys pretty much the same...just with Call Of Duty controls.

"the Tower"

The tower is a neutral/social place. Where you can buy weapons, and other gear including spacecraft and speeders. You can also team up with other players here, grab bounties(which are basically personal mini challenges you do and you earn rewards)...or just chillax.

Overall...it's a neat game....But the Story mode got repetitive...and I'm not a fan of Halo, so I didn't like the Crucible mode much either....

Though, one thing I did like was how you could upgrade certain weapons.Put on different sights you've unlocked...increase the damage. allsorts of stuff. and each weapon is unique upgrade wise. I also like how many different types of guns there are, which is why I say it's like Borderlands...since that game has a bazillion guns in it. Destiny's weapons also have elemental capabilities. Which is always cool. As well as fusion weapons. You can equip up to 3 weapons at a time. 1 primary 1 special and 1 heavy.BUT you can half multiple weapons in your inventory and swap them out at any time. Special weapons being Sniper rifles and shotguns, and variants of those two weapon types.Ammo for them is rather uncommon to find. Heavy weapons consisting of Rocket Launchers and LMGs.though ammo is scarce for them. Primary weapons consist of Pulse rifles, Assault rifles, Handcannons (Revolvers) as well as variants of rifles...such as semi autos (called Scout rifles) and full auto rifles.

Armour is similar to weapons....There's a huge variety of it out there....and some of it even gives you perks such as increased grenade damage, or reduced recoil for certain weapons,or more ammo capacity for certain weapons...the list goes on. In the full version, I imagine it's possible to colour the armour to your liking....as there's an option on most of it to re-colour it since the armour has a special "coating".

In shot, I probably won't be getting the game...but it was an interesting experience in the start.
