: I didn't actually contest either of those, I said Destiny's multiplayer felt
: good and was surprisingly even, while the beta's doesn't and isn't-- it
: doesn't feel good to me, it feels like a mess, and it's just as uneven as
: it looks, whereas in Destiny it looks like it should be a mess but the
: different supers and grenades and some of the other abilities mostly have
: the same amount of usefulness, just in different cases.

: This says to me to you're probably approaching it wrong, that's like feeling
: cheated when you get sniped, it's going to happen, it's supposed to
: happen.

: Is it though? There very much is a comparison to be made, but what about the
: other side of that coin? I wouldn't say Destiny's competitive multiplayer
: is bad, but you presumably would, as do a lot of people, and this beta's
: gameplay has a lot of similarities to it, and is much more like it than
: any previous Halo game. It might be coming from Call of Duty or Titanfall
: or other places, but other than maybe the sprinting and maybe some aspects
: of zooming in and possibly the sprint charge it sure isn't coming from
: Halo.
: Personally I will admit without hesitation Bungie didn't take multiplayer
: seriously this go around. No Forge, no LAN play, no customs at all,
: limited maps, no choice of map selection (what is this, 2006?), maps that
: rarely make effective use of their space (there are a lot of areas where
: no one goes because there's no reason to), severely limited gametypes and
: playlists, plus, yes, some imbalance in classes and abilities, and more
: severe imbalance in weapons and armor; that all says to me multiplayer
: wasn't a priority (which makes it all the more surprising that it does
: flow so well). What does that say about it flowing better, for me, than
: this beta, the whole purpose of which is to focus on multiplayer and try
: to make it better, and presumably show off the best of what 343i have so
: far and the direction they want to go in?

I think you originally stated an opinion, and I wanted to state mine in disagreement. I don't think I was tearing down the validity of your opinion at all, just that I personally disagreed with the comparison and wanted to list my reasons why.

I still really don't see a logical comparison between the two multiplayer modes though at all, but then again, that's just my personal opinion and probably not shared by many.
