1) The new guns are bullshit. Submachine guns are worthless, grenade launchers are a lot less useful than rocket launchers and the fact that I can pack two side-arms or two hand cannons but if I want a sniper rifle I now have to eat my heavy is about as flagrantly PvP-weighted as you could ask for.

2) Hunters are now useless. Go on Inverted Spire and the other two guys there will also be Sentinels, will also have a load-out consisting of an auto rifle, a scout rifle and a grenade launcher and will also activate their supers at exactly the same time as you.

3) The agility mods are so bad that you can literally create a Warlock incapable of jumping just by having them carry a scout rifle and a shotgun.

On the plus side, it's been nice to discover that I'm not abysmal at PvP when the world isn't dominated by ll400 Tryhards that have been playing 4 hours a day since 2014. On the minus side, ll400 Tryhards will still wipe the fucking floor with you.

And on the minus side, Bungie still thinks that 90% of their audience wants to get eight of their friends together every Tuesday at 7pm to shoot at each other despite the fact that 82% of Destiny 1 players never completed a Raid.

Fuck you, Bungie. I want to come home at an arbitrary time, pour myself a drink, fire up the console and enjoy myself. Based on the Destiny 2 beta, I'm such a bizarre corner case to your revenue strategy that you'd really rather I fuck off and play Journey again.
