you can do strike missions for gear...doesnt have to be multiplayer

You don't need good gear to win in multiplayer unless you want to play iron banner where your gear actually matters

I find doing missions and bounties to be the fastest way to level but crucible is the most enjoyable way
And you get more drops in missions/strike too

Servers down xbox1 ?

Seems so

Back up

Yup it works fine

To me the game is 100% a competitive fps game comparable to CoD, Halo, BF, etc

To me it's a competitive multiplayer fps shooter like halo(low gravity shields etc) that uses the idea of preloaded classes like CoD and BF where you unlock weapons and attachments through leveling and kills
But instead of using level, experience, and specific kill counts to unlock weapons and attachments, Destiny took a different approach to unlocking weapons and attachments through the missions and strikes

So to me the game feels like it was definitely meant to be a competitive shooter and the side/strike missions was your way of progression and unlocking your weapons

Not sure if you guys know what I mean but yea

Basically
Pure Halo multiplayer shooter that uses the idea of character loadouts like CoD and BF and uses side/strikes mission as a way to unlock weapons/attachments for the loadouts instead of kills/XP/level progression like CoD/BF does

Gotta keep in mind Raids are a crucial aspect of the PvM game that hasn't released yet. So no one can really make an accurate review of it until that releases. And the Reef gameplay as well.

As for gear, I've gotten 9 of my 13 legendaries via Crucible and 1 of my 3 exotics as well. So to me, Crucible is the better play to upgrade gear until Raids.

It's also hard to compare PVP/PvM because all the PvM this far has been a max of 3 players per party. So Raids will open up a whole new level of PvM experience for players.

*Playing the level 28 Nightfall Strike has been probably the most fun I've had on a video game in years. I was in tears from laughing at one point.

Really getting frustrated in the crucible. I'm not lagging at all, yet every time a game is about to finish I get kicked. Fucking weird. No problems on any other games.
