Destiny 2: At least 10 maps and 5 different game modes -- (link) - Shaun Jul 24, 08:58 4

  - well, it will be better with more maps and gametypes. - groiny Jul 24, 09:05 2
    - i just really like the big team battles game types. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 24, 09:08 1

that latest on NYT vs. Fox & Friends -- (link) - crash davis Jul 24, 08:58
crash, that is exactly it, you are just learning the game at this point. - groiny Jul 24, 08:57 34
- Also fwiw, D2 is using the Overwatch scoring system. So K/D is now (K+A)/D. - Shaun Jul 24, 09:03 8
  - so try and shoot anything at least once to get an assist. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 24, 09:25 3
    - Yes. Assists also count as a +1 to your team's Control score as well. -- nm - Shaun Jul 24, 09:26 2
      - The scoring's actually genius now. The advantages double/triple the kill values. - David Jul 24, 09:35 1
        
        I do like it as it rewards playing the objective and team cohesion. - Shaun Jul 24, 09:43
  - wasnt that halo stat as well? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 24, 09:12 3
    - iirc, assists were tracked as a stat, but it was still K/D. -- nm - Shaun Jul 24, 09:14 2
      - yes, but the outside rating systems used assists to get back to your true score (or whatever it was called) that - tRuMaN Jul 24, 10:03
      - That's right. -- nm - David Jul 24, 09:15
- I may play some tonight Crash if you want to team up again. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 24, 09:02 11
  - I probably can do an hour -- nm - crash davis Jul 24, 09:03 10
    - I think today is the last day? I might be on late, if anyone is on, I will see if I can jump in. -- nm - groiny Jul 24, 09:04 9
      - if I get on it wont be until after 9pm probably. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 24, 09:12 1
        
        yeah, I likely will not get on until after 10:00 for a bit. -- nm - groiny Jul 24, 09:14
      - They extended it til tomorrow at whatever time they decide to flick off the switch. -- nm - Shaun Jul 24, 09:05 2
        
        "Open Beta has been extended through Tuesday 7/25 for additional service testing. Expected completion is 6 PM PDT." -- nm - JaxSean Jul 24, 09:22 1

- Whatever the kinetic pulse rifle is called (Nightshade?) is a boss weapon. -- nm - Shaun Jul 24, 08:59 12

    - Doesn't each type have a different set? - Spawn Jul 24, 09:03 10
      - Each class gets a different exotic, but the rest of the weapons can be gained via post-activity drops. -- nm - Shaun Jul 24, 09:05 2
        
        I never got a sniper to drop. -- nm - groiny Jul 24, 09:06 1
        
        Hunter starts with it. I've had it drop twice I think. -- nm - Shaun Jul 24, 09:07
      - every gun I got dropped had identical perks. -- nm - groiny Jul 24, 09:04 6
        
        That is the norm, now. I meant which guns you start with. -- nm - Spawn Jul 24, 09:05 5
        
        oh, I only played as the Warlock, so I have no idea. -- nm - groiny Jul 24, 09:06 4
        
        I started Warlock but prefererd the Titan exotic. -- nm - Spawn Jul 24, 09:07 3
        
        then you didnt realize the advantage to the warlocks gun - tRuMaN Jul 24, 11:06
        
        the change to Nova Bomb is interesting. -- nm - groiny Jul 24, 09:17 1
        
        I did not change settings so only played with the sword. - Spawn Jul 24, 09:40
