    They have it set up so if you aren't in their fireteam they can't hear you .

        Wow, a competitive MP shooter with no way to communicate with your teammates. Only on consoles can shit like this pass without an uproar.

While it's still possible to do well as a low level, when player skill is equal the higher level is always going to have the adv over someone at a low level. Because of that, there's really no reason to match players who are level 7 against someone already at level 25. But, it happens all the time. I've also been in matches where half the team will quit. There needs to be some sort of punishment for players abandoning early. Simple solution would be to ban them from MM for an hour or so.

            Supercharged is pretty lame for pvp, I'm a titan and don't like it. It's an instant kill anytime you're close to someone and doesn't take any skill to use. Pretty shit ability for a competitive shooter. That along with a few other things dull the competitive side.
            I've seen plenty of lower levels dominate 20s. It is pretty even after you get grenades and melee, which happens quick if I'm not mistaken. And the supercharge doesn't get a activated enough for it to get out of hand. It's a cool "perk" without going overboard. Brings another element to the game that Halo didn't have (thinking of Halo 2 since I didn't play any Halo games after that) but doesn't over do it like CoD. Agree to disagree

              I started up the PS4 version last night. It definitely looks better than the PS3 version but it's still nothing impressive. I was super disappointed to find out that the two versions SHARE a trophy list. Booooooooooooooooooooooo. It's hard to complain considering I got both versions for the price of one, but I was pretty surprised by that. I'm sure there are people out there that actually purchased the physical copies for last gen and current gen. It's bullshit to pay for two games and only get one trophy/cheevo list.

              Also, even if you create a new character, which I did, it appears the collectibles and such still carry over. Not a big deal but I was hoping to start completely from scratch on PS4. I went with the Hunter on PS4 as opposed to the Titan on PS3.

              I literally just did the first mission and went back to the citadel place and turned in everything and accepted stuff. So if anyone wants to slum it with me, let me know.

                Got a TGT game sometime tonight, but I'll be on right after I get home from work.

                  This game sorely needs a codex. Something similar to what Mass Effect had accesable from the pause screen. Would help to expand on the history of this universe a little more.

                    And the Cleveland Browns might pickup a few wins over some good teams this year, still doesn't mean that they're not entering the game at a disadvantage given the personnel they have. Some of the stability upgrades seem to make a huge difference, but I'm level 20 now and it's fairly easy to get to so I'm not concerned anymore.

                    It's not just supercharged though, there's a lot of weird instant kills in the game. Some weird stuff can happen with melee too. Somehow I had someone kill me with a melee strike a good second after I had already killed him and his character never went into a melee animation before dieing. I swear they'll also do damage when the animation doesn't actually connect occasionally as well.

                    To each his own, I still think it's a solid game though, good enough till Halo comes out. Although, I'll never get everyone's infatuation with grinding. Even "competitive" is a huge grind, where the reward should be performance based not how many hours you put in.

                      If anyone's playing on the Bone, shoot me an invite or a FR. GT is ChefRiley.

                      I'm rocking my level 23 Warlock. I actually got that motherfucking Cryptarch to decode 2 legendaries into a helmet and a machine gun I can use.

                        Everything that I read about this game has really killed my interest. It doesn't help that I'm one of the only ones in my friend group with a current gen console, and I've read that a group to play with really improves the game.

                            This is the first game in a long time that I think about when I'm not home playing it. If you like shooters you should really give it a shot. The free roaming stuff is even fun, and I'm usually just online only. Online is tough as shit if you go in alone though, which sucks but everybody on my friends list is playing it anyway lol.

                                think that might be the warlocks. I get a lot of postmortem kills with melee, especially when using a helm that boost melee speed. can't remember if the animation finishes or if it gets cut short because I die
