Destiny 2 – Official Competitive Multiplayer Trailer

Enter the Crucible in Destiny 2 and put your skills to the test in 4v4 competitive multiplayer action.

NewMonday3206d ago

trying to hard, chances are low it will be anywhere close to this level of action with only 4v4

Weeblordbad3205d ago

Ummm there was plenty of concentrated action in D1 with 4v4, but you know keep beating that drum like it means anything. The maps are fairly concentrated, the mobility and the weapons also mean you're never far from the objective or your teammates.

NewMonday3205d ago

Ummm D1 didn't have 4v4

Weeblordbad3204d ago

Okay so it was 3v3 or 6v6. Again, I never had issues being in the fight you design around these things.

NewMonday3204d ago (Edited 3204d ago )

6v6 was fine loved it

3v3 was a lame bore fest that felt like a job not a fun game

loved Iron Banner

hated ToOsiris, got Flawless twice but the processes was not fun at all, I just wanted the special weapons.

Gazondaily3206d ago

I saw this on Facebook and thought it was a trailer for some DLC for the first game.

Having recently gotten back into playing Halo and Gears of War, two games that have level playing field in competitive mp. I simply do not find the appeal of Destiny 2 PvP, after playing the beta. I think the game will get more and more imbalanced as content gets added to it. Also I wasn't impressive the game's technical standing in PvP.

Destiny 2 is the only PvP game, this gen that I have played, that is is 30 FPS. I don't see why, and how, the PvP, especially when 4v4, is only 30fps. Sure the CPUs on the XB1 & PS4 are that great, but games like Overwatch, Halo 5, Gears of War 4, BF1 (TDM) and Battlefront all manage to run at (or near) 60fps in PvP.

That is why Im definitely opting for the PC version. Going to check out the beta and decide.

Weeblordbad3205d ago

Damage and health is flattened for the MP, what you lose when people have exotics is the small abilities or things that the weapon does. Thorn and Gjallarhorn are two examples of weapons that DO more than the non exotics but when it comes to bullet for bullet damage versus a regular hand cannon or RL they end up even. Destiny is very much about managing the heavy weapon ammo drops, if you do that someone with a Gjallarhorn is useless. If you don't know your limits health wise vs Thorn you're going to die a lot to the weapons DOT, if you know when to duck out the DOT is only a problem because it keeps your health/shields from regenerating. The PVP also operates under the assumption that it's not the ONLY thing you're doing, there is no reason a Destiny player isn't constantly improving their weapons/gear.

The 30fps I agree with, it should be 60fps. The only thing I'll give Destiny credit for is it doesn't suffer the visual degrade in MP that the other games suffer in MP. Notably Gears 4, Halo 5 and BF1.

Sciurus_vulgaris3205d ago

The Destiny 2 beta PvP to me, didn't really look better than Halo 5 slayer. Destiny 2, seemed to have better AA, and particles, but gun and character models in Halo 5 mp looked better to me. Gears of War 4, and BF1 mp looked better than the Destiny 2 beta pvp in my opinion also.

Honestly Thank Goodness!! Yet another good sign of a possibility of returning to what made them great and undoing Jim Tyans trend chasing love service gamble. Still gotta wait and see just what direction they're going but this is a good sign in my book that they're not betting it all on live service anymore

S2Killinit102d ago (Edited 102d ago )

Not sure what you lot are talking about anymore. They need to cover all range of games. Im primarily a single player gamer, but even I cannot be daft enough to ignore the fact that we need all manner of games including live service games. Everyone here seems to be a market expert.

isarai_lee102d ago (Edited 102d ago )

Yes "all manner" not just exclusively live service like Jim was doing, but you also shouldn't be forcing devs to make games they not only have no experience making, but also flatout dont want to do.

S2Killinit101d ago

Assuming that anything like that is actually the case and not just a perception of n4g commenters of course.

I don't understand why you people have to keep making up lies. You can say you don't like some or most of their focus being on live service games, but to say they were exclusively focusing on live service games is pure copium. At most half of their games were live service and the rest were single player games. Seriously why lie about something so obvious?

isarai_lee101d ago

@Redemption-64

You say that as if we don't have word directly from Jim Ryan and PlayStation stating they wanted at least 12 live service games released within a year. Followed by tons of official word of those Live Service games being cancelled after he was pushed out. All studios combined at the time PS had 15 studios, 12 is a hell of a lot more than half of 15, and it was definitely their primary focus evident by the fact that a huge portion of their studios have taken uncharacteristically long to release or announce anything since, hell some studios have yet to release anything this gen almost 6 YEARS LATER! The only one making stuff up is you.

It may take a while but maybe they are finally learning. Good! Now stop with the live service crap.

ABizzel1102d ago

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a live service here or there, but to have many of your studios start focusing on it when there has been little to no experience among them was wild.

Christopher102d ago (Edited 102d ago )

They say this and then immediately release news of the Horizons co-op game that will definitely be a Live Service game.

isarai_lee102d ago

I feel like they knew that given the fact that the very furst thing they say in the trailer is to reassure they still make so games 😆

Bet they're regrettings spending those billions pretty hard right now.

S2Killinit102d ago

Destiny has been a huge success.

Redemption-64101d ago

They will not. Destiny has been popular for over 10 years, something most games can never hope to achieve. Most people, including myself those Bungie was going to make a D3 after the final shape DLC. Marathon looks to be a hit and a D3 announcement could break records.
