No.

But they confirmed every single game type for pvp will be 4 player teams. There is no more 6, 3, 2, or solo game modes at all for pvp. This is why I have been wondering who our 4th would be for months. This has been confirmed.

I really wish they would implement a solo only server though. So tiring being on a team of complete randoms against a party of 4 or more.

Do lots of you guys normally team up? I don't have any friends that really play destiny. This will be my first destiny but I did fairly okay in the beta and I'd be down to team up with some of you guys

Didn't play Destiny 1.

Contemplating Destiny 2.

Is this a COD style game? Sorry for my ignorance.

It is a first person shooter. It does have pvp.
It is nothing like CoD besides those two things.

So, gameplay is not CoD. Thats cool.


What strategy is involved with creating a character. The only experience I have with RPGish game is The Division.

In Destiny 2 there is 3 classes to pick from. They all play differently but it is nothing drastic like a typical RPG. No holy trinity or anything. All classes use the same guns so you can play to your play style with any class. Just pick whatever you like the most. I can promise you if you like the game you will make 1 of each. It is that addicting.



Yes, gameplay is not CoD. You do have the traditional shooter mechanics but time to kill is much slower, mobility is much more vertical, you cannot go prone, and their are special abilities each class has (supers, grenades, heals, etc)

I'm not familiar at all with the supers of the three characters in D2, you can essentially have one of each class.

Different characters were OP in PvP depending on what time you played and what the meta was. I.E., I deleted multiple characters at times last year to lvl up another hunter/warlock/titan depending on how the meta played.

During ROI there was a time where I had three titans and ran No Back Up Plans w/ a defender bubble along with No Land Beyond because it had no recoil from oncoming fire. The NBP's w/ force barrier added 100 HP, for 25 seconds and you could tank a head shot from the highest impact snipers.

It all just depends how the meta plays and if it's like Destiny 1, it will change constantly.

Thanks for the info, both of you.

Couple more questions.

Can you change builds with the character you select, right off? I don't know if any of you played Division, but sort of how they had different pieces (gear)?

Is this open world?

ETA: I'm looking at a couple of the links posted by OP, so I may answer my own questions in the meantime.

At the beginning of last year each class (Titan, Warlock, Hunter) had a default sub-class which had it's own tree of perks, super, etc...Eventually they added a third subclass to each class.

You can freely change subclasses depending on what activity you're doing, but they were a bitch to lvl up last year.

I am not very familiar with how it will work this year, so I'm sure someone else can explain in more detail.
