[quote]1. Regarding controls, with 3 weapon slots, how do select the desired weapon? 2. I haven't seen anything regarding skill trees so how does leveling your abilities work? Do you earn a point to put into an ability each time you level or some other method? 3. Can you swap which focus is equipped at any time as if it is an item? 4. Is there a limit of items or weight that you can carry at one time? 5. Do random enemies drop loot like in Borderlands or do you only earn loot after achieving an objective?[/quote] Everyone seems to have answered your questions. Some things id add. 1. Easy process of clickig it in our inventory 3. Yes. Once u lock it however. Thats that. 4. Theres a limit. Not weight. But quantity. And if u fill up. Or even miss an item. It will be at the post master in the tower for u to collect. 5. Random enemies drop. As well as via objectives.

1.You swap between your weapson using Y or Triangle like most shooters. Works great to switch to your heavy weapon just hold the weapon swap button. (its limited ammo anyways comes in handy in ambushes and boss fights) 2. The skill try gains experience everytime you fight in the alpha you couldn't go so far because clearly it was an alpha. but weapson also carry skill trees (ability) that you can level up the more you use that gun. Some guns didn't have it. 3. Im not sure didn't really play too much with it was too busy killing guys and exploring (highly addictive game) 4. Item Weight I believe we will see in the beta I never tried filling it in the alpha because I kept breaking down useless stuff for glimmer 5. All enemies drop stuff but from what ive seen so far mainly the epic boss battles drop rare guns and armor. Im not sure about the raids or public events for I only came across two public events and never a raid. Overall the game is highly addictive, Serious potential and I understand why bungie also doesn't offer trading to other players because they want you to experience the fights for yourself. the Multiplayer is brilliant and well balanced and aggressive mostly because there are so many ways to enter a capture point so the element of surprise is there. In the alpha with the little bit I got to see I was never bored. I always found something new to explore or a mission on field to complete and each class has a different style for different players

The 2 normal weapons you switch them like in COD: just press Y on Xbox andò Triangle on PS. To choose the special-heavy gun you have ti hold Y o triangle

Oh I'm not sure about the 3 weapon change

You choose which weapons you hold onto, you can put he rest in your vault in the tower. You can vary a set amount of items in each category, and the rest can be put in the vault in the tower. Note you can use these items in your vault on all of your characters. I believe enemies drop loot. Don't quote me on that tho And to level things up you simply use them. You want to level up your super, use it. And I don't believe there are skill points per-say but the more you play the more you jump, run, and shoot the more those skills advance toward the next unlock
