Had a blast in PVP. It is so nice to not have to worry about ability spammers and it is all about gun play. However, your grenades and abilities recharge slow as molasses. I got owned several times trying to throw grenades I didn't have, standing there like a jackass, because I assumed I had one relying on the regen time in D1.
Super energy also builds up too slow. In almost every match most people don't get their super until around the last minute of the game and it turns that final minute into a shite show of people just popping off supers everywhere just to use it up.
If they can fix these time issues, I think the game will be awesome. If they don't, I think everyone but the sweaty content creators that can't get or hold a real job and live in their moms' basements will be the only people playing PVP after about 6 months. Also, be prepared for most of your deaths to be due to being team shot.
Now on to PVE. I think the PVE is awesome. I didn't do any exploring, but others have and I watched some vids and the area around the strike is huge and full of stuff to do. People have even glitched into a few areas like where the Exodus Black ship is and a tower that looks like it might be part of the raid.
I am mainly more of a PVE player anyway so even if they don't fix the small issues with PVP I will still play for the grind.

PVE feels just like Destiny.
Still the best feeling shooter out there.
The strike was fun.
The graphics are really nice and optimized.
I rushed through the story missions and the strike 1 time to get to PVP though.
First impressions (4 hours of PVP as a Hunter)
Really love the 4v4 teams. It is the perfect amount.
I do like that it is more about gunplay now than an ability spammer. Or Titan skating shotgunning.
The new game type is outstanding.
Auto rifles and Scout rifles seem to be king out of the non power weapons I have.
Shotgun is ridiculous if you get power ammo.
My early thoughts. Bitching will come later.
I do agree in the new game type you don't get your super until very late. But I am okay with it.

One change that is stupid to me is how they keep stats on the PVP scoreboard. They count assist as kills basically now. So it inflates everybody's kills.

I don't mind that. it is much more like Overwatch.

Exactly, or like battlefield. Your contribution to the match isn't just kills.
Posted on 7/19/17 at 9:47 am to sicboy
Yep, it isn't even called kills anymore, it is guardians defeated 
Coming from someone who racks up assists, I fully endorse this trend

This is one of my favorite things about Battlefield. If I do 70% of the damage I deserve the kill frick your KSing arse.

I gathered "Efficiency" was basically KDR.
Had to giggle at that.

Yea, kills and assists to your deaths.
I don't know, it is not a big deal but I don't like it.
I got a triple down last night and two of the kills were after I was dead. Not a fan of that.

Kill From The Grave. It's the best XD

I mean yea if I had put more than 2 auto rifle bullets into the two guys lol or actually killed them with a grenade or something post death.
Do we all get trophys now?!

It's not about trophies. It's getting kill whores out of their corner and PTFO.

Story mission was good little intro. The strike was very good, I just hope they have a big variety. But I really enjoyed it. Felt like a mini raid.
The new subclass Sentinel for Titan is bad arse.
The new PVP game mode is a lot of fun.
I am excite for D2

Ghaul seems to be a bad arse from the first mission. the strike had some really awesome environments, those big scrappers going around and around was intense. as far as PvP,I agree with what others have said, it's more about gun game now. as far as the assists being counted as kills, yea, but I think your k/d is actually based off the kills you get. a few matches I was running about a 2.4 k/d but if the assists counted it would have been much higher

It is not, it goes off Kills+assist/deaths.
Specifically it goes by guardians defeated/deaths because there is no more kills or assist just the guardians defeated stat, which is that.

If that was the goal with this they should have included the objective in the calculation somehow. Or you know don't take away the super charge when completing objectives like they did.
It is silly to me that I can't actually know how many kills I had or if I am doing effective damage. Hitting somebody for 10% of his health bar and getting a tally is not something I like.
I get it for games like Overwatch because you actually have jobs in that game.
And to whoever brought up battlefield, they still show kills in that. I am fine if they show kills and it would not calculate in the ratio.
I think they did this because they don't want guys not as skilled to feel as bad about their score. And they want to promote team play.
Like I said before it is not a big deal to me and I think it is to make the game more inviting and the only reason. I don't like it though.

Eh, I mean the old system, you get one final shot on a guy and get a kill when somebody else has done 90% of the work, and you get a kill.
I can understand wanting to at least be able to see actual kills (which who knows what all stats you'll be able to look at in the full game), however I prefer this system better personally.

This happens way less than the other way around.
If somebody is skilled enough to do most of the damage, most of the time he will finish them off.
