So is it confirmed that the beta will pretty much just be the whole game? and by that I mean that it won't just be a multiplayer beta like bungie has done in the past.

-
They said it will have most of the features of the whole game
-
In that case...I'm thinking 100% exploration and pvp. I'll save the storyline for the actual release.
-
That's actually not a bad idea. I wouldn't wanna ruin it by playing it through in the Beta
-
That's what I was thinking. The story is really what I'm playing for so why ruin the plot point's on a beta version. I'm surprised bungie would even let us play the story... they are usually very tight lipped about that sort of stuff.
-
They did say most but not all of the games content would be in the beta. If they do leave something out I think it should be the story
-
Agreed. That's one thing bungie is the master of... telling compelling stories that keep you coming back. I'm pretty sure 85% of people bought halo 3 to finish the fight... not just play multiplayer. Which is something not a lot of other studios can say...
-
Haha I didn't even have xbl when halo 3 came out. I [i]only[/i] bought it to finish the fight, and it was worth it. I believe they can replicate that with Destiny
-
It makes sense that the main story mode's access would be limited. Based on what I've gathered from recent interviews, one of our primary tasks will be stress-testing the loads on the system, which would suggest a focus on multiplayer content such as raids, strikes & PvP. Also, I would imagine that general bug-hunting could be done just as adequately through exploration, leaving Bungie's in-house beta testers (and anyone who's signed a NDA) to test the story-driven content (which is, in itself, a much smaller & more linear content stream than the others).
-
As long as we don't have another GTA V Online launch. Although, Bungie is more accustomed to heavy populated servers than Rockstar.
-
I'm guessing that they intend to learn from Rockstar's mistakes. In fact, in one of their most recent interviews, Urk & Deej used the GTA V/O Launch as an example of what they hoped to avoid through the beta test. They said something along the lines of wanting to stress Bungie's systems during the beta to make sure they can handle what is certain to come.
