Title Screen(notice the 6 max players, and how once you join a lobby your ship shows in)
Notes:
"The rarity category for guns and weapons: Basic (White), Common (Green), Superior (Purple), And Exotic (Gold)
You are only able to wield one Exotic Weapon and one exotic armour at any given time, but may carry as many as you can fit.
In Destiny there is three weapon slots, You have your Primary, Special, and Heavy. You will have the ability to store an additional 12 per slot in your 'backpack/inventory' for a total of 39 guns at any given time. The Primary slot is for the weapons you will have out at any given time and will use most frequently, the assault rifles and pulse rifles. The secondary slot (called special) is used for the heavily situational guns like a shotgun or sniper. Lastly, the heavy slot is exactly how it sounds, LMGs and Booms. Some guns might have what borderlands called elemental damage. Bungie describes this as the weapon is "infused with energy", the damage types are thermal, arc, and void. Similar to Borderlands class skilltrees, your guns, armour, and focus will upgrade with a skill tree (allowing for the energy infused damage). Your gun will be configured utilizing something similar (most likely less modules to edit) to GRFS."

"Wizards wear long, crumbling robes and fly overhead to unleash their spells, drawing on the power of the Darkness to fuel their powers."

P.S: This information was borrowed from someone else, I take no credit for what has been said, done, and linked here, although I did have to re-link everything.

I am personally looking forward to this game, I can't wait to be apart of the beta coming up in July. I'm unsure of the exact day, but I know that they'll be announcing that June 9th of E3.

You can pre-order and get the beta access code from the following retailers: Gamestop, Amazon, Best Buy, Playstation Store, and Walmart. Anything else will not provide you a Beta Access code. Also, if you haven't gotten the code, you'll have to go back to your retailer and tell them you didn't get a Beta Code for the beta coming up in July, they then should reprint a code onto a receipt(Ya, make sure to bring the receipt along with you).

Here is the link to put your code into: Code Redemption

Feel free to comment below!

I've been following Destiny closely for about a year now. More recently I've become active on our Reddit community Reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame and Bungie.net. I also follow the podcasts such as Guardian Radio and PrimeCast. These are some good details, but I don't feel like it gives the just of Destiny, I'll give it a shot myself.

What is Destiny?
Destiny is an upcoming game from the makers of Halo: Combat Evolved-Halo Reach, Bungie. Destiny is described as a "shared-world shooter". In foremost, Destiny is an action packed First-Person Shooter, but it adds MMO elements from games such as World of Warcraft where you come across others in the world you go across at random, also some elements such as quests (strikes) and raids. Destiny also uses some RPG elements from games like Borderlands with progressional systems for weapons, gears, and the Destiny character's (Guardians) abilities called supers and their builds. Another RPG element is the ability to customize everything to you liking.
The game revolves around a fireteam which is a group of 3 Guardians that play together in whatever game mode they are in. Each Guardian chooses to be a certain class: Titan, Warlock, or Hunter and certain race: Human, Exo, or Awoken.

Game Modes
Destiny includes 6 different game modes, each designed for different styled players.

Campiagn-This is the same game mode that everyone enjoys in modern day FPS games except that you can go through it with 2 other players and that it will be a bit more open-world than CoD or BF.

Strikes-These are an equivalent of quests or missions from MMORPG games. You can do them yourself or with 2 others. They are described to last around 15-45 minutes.

Patrol-This is an "explore" option to go into the open-world and just do whatever you want. You can destroy groups of the fallen or hive or any other enemy and explore for hidden loot in areas set aside just for the explorers. Kind of gives me a Fallout sort of feel.

Raids-These make for some of the hardest AI content in game. They are like the raids in any other MMO being end game content that usually takes a while to complete, in Destiny being described as AT LEAST 4 hours to beat. You can go through raids in groups of 6 Guardians.

Public Events-These include multiple fireteams playing to defeat a boss or objective that a single fireteam could not take down alone. They are triggered randomly inside of a strike or patrol.

PvP-this is Bungie's claim to fame. It's competitive multiplayer. It will be two teams of six players facing it off to win the objective of the PVP mode they are playing. There isn't much info about PVP yet, but the full reveal of it is coming at E3.

I want to add this because it's never really touched upon in mainstream media covering Destiny. THIS GAME IS ABSOLUTELY HUGELY VAST with the amount of playable area as well as the number of weapons, gear, and abilities. The possibilities will be endless of what you want to do.

I didn't really touch upon the lore or many details at all for that matter. If anyone wants some more information or has questions feel free to ask.

Livestreaming the Alpha if anyone is interested

edit: Over

First Impressions: I like the game a lot. Multiplayer is by far the most fun thing. I only played for about 2 hours and got to level 6. I can see this game being fun with a group of friends raiding and looting then taking the loot into multiplayer. Will play more later. So far, this slice of the game is very appetizing.

This game is amazing in every way except for the fact that there's no split-screen. I really looked forward to playing this game with my little bro or my friends.

God damn this game has been better than I expected. It sucks the alpha is ending, but I cannot wait for the Beta next month.

Sorry for the bump.

But does anyone happen to have a spare beta code for the PS3?

I'm really interested in this game while being flat out broke.

I'd REALLY appreciate it.

Like REALLY, really.

check your messages, i gottchu

Any got a beta code for PS4? I really appreciate it if you do.

Jester marry me pls.

Super serious.

*Edit: Erm... I need a 9-digit code to redeem but my beta code is 12 digits...

Halp pls.

**EDIT: Nvm I got it. Thanks Jesta.

Yeah would be greatful if someone would give me a ps4 or ps3 beta key. I even had an alpha key but only realized two weeks after it finished

Forget the beta key someone give me a PS3/PS4 D:

THIS GAME,
HOLY FUKIN SHEET THIS IS AWSOME.
IS A-MA-ZING.

SHH STOP BRAGGING DAMN IT.

THE GODS HAVE BESTOWED APON US MORTAL BEINGS WITH THE BEST GAME EVAR.

GIMMIE A BETA CODE D:

I NEED MONEH.

NAAAAOOOWWW.

MUST... PRE-ORDER... IMMEDIATELY...

Can't wait for the full game, only a month or so more. It would be cool if we could keep our progress from the beta but I wouldn't mind restarting

That's what I thought too because I thought some people was going to have a head start over people.

We should all make a guild on each console.

We'll tear **** it up just you wait

This is the best game I've ever played so addicting and this two day maintenance is driving me insane, but in the mean time I've got 2 PS4 codes and 2 PS3 codes. First ones to pm get the codes.

Also sorry for the plug, but if you're very enthusiastic about Destiny make sure to check out http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame or just http://www.DestinyReddit.com. We've got some great info and discussions there and it's pretty easy to sign up if you don't have a reddit account.

I literally just started the beta last night and now I'm facepalming the hell outta myself for this server downtime.

Yeah it's like taking crack from a crack addict. It doesn't come back til Wedneaday.

Ah geez...

The next two days are gonna be sooooooooooooooo slooooooooowwww.

EDIT: Having the worst Destiny withdrawal right now.

I literally don't know what I'm going to do with myself for the next two days.

...you only played the beta for barely a day...wtf

I'm an Xbox One user so I haven't got a chance to play yet. From what I've seen so far though it's everything I'd hoped it would be. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Also, if anyone was interested, towards the end of the beta there's going to be a special event. From the minimal research on this topic I did on the internet I'm not sure what it's going to be. Although Bungie did announce that items received through said "special event" will be kept permanently and dragged into the actual release. Anyways, if any fellow Xbox One users out there want to form a clan or even just play during the beta then chat me up.

It's having some sort of maintenance break to prepare the beta for it's main event.

I know its on break. I have been playing both the Alpha and the Beta haha. I just think its funny how he's having withdrawals and barely played.

Btw me and a few of my gaming friends are making a clan on the xbone version if anyone is interested. I'll post a link to the bungie clan thing later if I remember

The main event is just having all 4 consoles in the beta.

Maintenance is over and the beta is back up (Xbox too)

Oh really?

Ok that's cool.
OH F*CK THE HELL, YESSSSSS.

Just saw this as well. Downloading on my xbone now ^~^

Ah...

It's nice to have my crack back.

This game is amazing. So amazing..Words can't describe how amazing it is. I can't wait till release to experience the whole game! Does anyone have a PS4 where we can play together??

Add me on ps4 :D
zblazer10003

I just got to lvl 4 haha. I'm loving the beta so far.

Reached level 8 for my Warlock and now I'm starting a new Hunter for Crucible only.

Is the game actually fun to play?

I don't have access to the beta, but I've kept up with it and it just doesn't get me excited reading about it.

Yeah it's really fun!

A mix between Borderlands and Halo.

PVP is pretty much all Halo though...

I wasn't to sure for destiny but came across a youtube vid with no views and their gamertag was in the description and got a beta code that works :D

Imagine if this game was 3rd person...

It would suck

Wouldn't be bad...

I'd still prefer FP tho.

The beta is opening up for everyone at 4 PM PDT today

http://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=11962

Thank god. I wasn't able to drive out yesterday or today to pre-order and I know it's ending soon so this will give me a chance to play it before it's over.

YESSSSSSSSSS

In other news, exculsive items are being given out on the 26th for anyone who plays the beta in case you didnt already know this

I've played the beta for a while and beat all the campaign missions available and played a little bit of crucible. The missions were really great, but the multiplayer seems kind of boring to me.

True.

The maps are kinda small and only one of them has vehicles.

I guess that's a good thing cause' they're a pain in the buttocks to kill.

Btw, the beta officially ends on the 27 so hurry up and play it if you hadn't.

Hate how the game is 30 fps, it makes the multiplayer quite slow paced and boring compared to other competitive fps games + I also find that announcer bloody annoying "enemy captured zone A" I would love an option to turn that off.

I know it's in beta but I would also like to see the Tower expanded the third person area was pretty cool and changed it up a bit :0

There is no set day/time for the end of the beta

Source:

It's a very unique shooter. I don't think I'll be disappointed with this as I was with Titanfall. I love how they have that Crucible area where you can hang out with other players and visit different shops and such. Those speeder bikes are really fun to ride too.

You mean the Tower?
Crucible is PvP, dunno how you define hanging out though ;)

Erm, in Crucible you kinda have to kill each other instead of hang out but iz ok, just a mistake.

Isn't the Moon supposed to open up for players today?

I hope there's a strike mission.

Sorry, I meant the tower.
