      They have confirmed you will be able to take your characters from ps3-ps4 or 360-one in full game.
      Beta will be off for maintenance 21-22nd July. Beta runs until July 28th. Beta starts on 360/one July 23rd.
      Bungie said today there will be a special day on the 26th people will want to play on that day.

      Also in about 5 minutes they are adding two new maps/missions to the beta do 2 hours only.

          Really enjoyed the beta single player elements, if the story is good this could be a classic. MP not tried yet.

          Love the music and graphics and the gameplay.

            A real cross between borderlands, halo and rage. Very nice.

              This is what I thought. It's a nice mix if the 3 and bungie have done a great job of mixing the best elements of those games and getting rid of the annoying bits for me.

              It's a very, very polished game with great coop and will be fantastic with friends. Really enjoyed exploring the old cosmodrome and wondering what exactly happened to all the people, which is a great sign that the layout and atmosphere is spot on. Roll on full game.

              Only thing I got annoyed with is I found the coop players would bugger off and leave me to do bosses on my own.

                Are you in a fireteam?
                If not, then it's intentional. The randoms will not follow you to 'darkened' (boss) areas.

                  This was proper coop mission, the last one where you face the tank? My team mates would just bugger off and leave me, then two quit at the boss leaving just me and another valiant player to it, was good fun in the end though as we worked out some strategies

                    I'm chuffed people are enjoying this!

                    This has the potential to be a real system seller!

                    Keep up the first impressions, chaps.

                      It really is just awesome. Had a fantastic event earlier in the free mission map. Was wondering around looking for loot when I stumbled across 2 level 2 players fighting a group of fallen. Then a random event popped up, drop ships are flying in with dozens of fallen being dropped off and bosses. We fought bravely and slaughtered the lot, then jigged on the corpses.

                      Really love the way these random events happen, makes the maps feel much more alive than would otherwise seem with just a few enemies milling around.

                        The Iron Gate PvP mode last night was teeth pulling, mode is unbalanced/unrestricted PvP, so can be quite difficult against a full powered team. I won more than I lost, It really does feel as unbalanced as it gets, so definitely a mode to reward high level weapons/defence/ranks.

                        It's basically the place to be to show off your best gear and weapons.

                        One thing I did notice last night and shook my head to, store refreshes. One store refresh was 12hours, it felt like I was in some F2P game where I wasn't allowed back into the shop until I came back tomorrow, in real time!

                          Got a spare PS3 Europe beta code here if anyone wants:
                          FT4D-6BNM-GTJC

                          Apart from the sparse hubworld, which currently looks and feels like a thinned-out Mass Effect station (cutout NPC characters, barely any story cutscenes), this is terrific. Put it on for a quick tester yesterday and had to force myself to stop at 2 a.m. Really like the super-clean interface/menus and HUD. No RPG faff there at all.

                            Did anyone else have problems logging on the PS4 version last night.
                            Could not connect to the PSN servers.

                              Bungie said servers would be intermittently down throughout 20th/21st for tweaks and maintenance.

                                That's a great sign!
