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.

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

**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
