[b]What are thoughts on the updates Bungie has made to PvP, has it improved play?[/b] New to the game and playing on PC so I cant comment on the changes from D1. My bro has played since D1 beta and I have watched him play and although he was pretty damn good at PvP it looked like he was just getting sniped and super spammed or hit with multiple grenades at a time over and over. To me the game looked like it required little to no skill with your weapons as it was all about spamming supers. It looked like COD with with Overwatch supers on hyper cool down. To me it never looked fun so I never bothered to play. Now coming from someone who is new and playing strictly on PC the PvP is crazy fun and a nice change of pace from Overwatch. I'm in love with Hand Cannons, Swords and Sub Machine Guns. I feel like my current set up is a great mix of my favorite Overwatch characters, McCree, Sombra and Genji. [b]At this point in D2, how does the new weapon system (kinetic, energy, power) stand up verse D1's system?[/b] Again can't comment on the changes from D1 but me personally I like this system. It allows me to choose weapons based on both my play style and the content I'm playing. Being able to equip a long range and close to medium range weapons makes for more efficiency in more situations. This is especially true for PvP. The power weapons all seem well balanced and between my friends who are also new to Destiny 2 PC we have all found favorites that work well with how we play. Sniper is the only one I feel is underwhelming as the handling and aim down sights seems to slow on almost all snipers I have found and the flinch mechanic feels over tuned. [b]Do D2 game modes really fit 4v4 play?[/b] I would love to see larger PvP game modes. My clan came to this game from Overwatch and we typically have 6 of us on at a time. Although I have been enjoying the PvP on PC it would be kick ass to have 6v6 or even 8v8. [b]Lack of power and ammo in Pestige level play[/b] I have not done the Prestige Nightfall yet. I have read complaints about both the night fall and the raid not giving out enough power ammo but I found the exact opposite. I found I was getting plenty of power ammo but not enough Kinetic or Energy ammo. [b]Is D2 too extreme casual to hard core?[/b] I would say it favors a mix of both. While a casual can reach max power with just milestones they will still have to grind to get equipment that suits their play style and then slot it with proper mods. There is more to this game then max power but that seems to be the focus on if this game favors casuals over hardcore. While getting tokens is easy the RNG of turning them in can make the gear acquisition slow and frustrating at times. I would really like to get a Kinetic SMG but it appears RNG hates me... [b]Thoughts on balance, kill times and the Bungie ethos on weapons[/b] Kill times for PvP are perfect. I feel that if it was any faster they should just call this game Space Fantasy COD. Now my POV is that from a PC only player who used to play nothing but Overwatch and Diablo. In Overwatch the kill times are much slower and your super and abilities have far longer cool downs. In PvP I feel like a god, popping off head shots with hand cannons like its nothing and taking out teams like they are standing still. 100 FPS with 102 FoV at 1440p on a 21:9 the game is crisp and responsive. (well until their recent patch lol) The PvP gun play is amazing and my only complaint in this area is that my clan has to split up into two teams of three instead of all playing together. Also on a side note why is everyone complaining about Mida Multitool? Don't think I have ever seen someone use it on PC. [b]Will D2 be a reverse of D1's backward power creep?[/b] Here is my biggest problem with all the topics on D2. They all stem from people who have religiously played D1 and can't seem to let go of the fact that this is an entirely new game even if it shares very similar game play and mechanics and is a continuation of the base story from D1. The community also seems to be very anti new players and their views of the game. I have made a few positive comments about D2 and every time I do I get attacked by D1 players. None of you are stepping back to see from the perspective of new players. I expected to be able to come to these forums and talk about the game with other players but quickly found that was not possible unless I want to talk negatively about the game. My brother who is a long time Destiny super fan has quit the game not because of the changes but purely because of the community and how toxic it has become. He says the toxicity has killed his love of gaming and now his Xbox collects dust. Edit: Thank you to those who are able to act like adults. Its both sad and pathetic to see such a vast majority of the commentators here proving my final points about how toxic this community has become.
