The Beta was okay, not great, not bad but was ok. The devs done a good job on the smoothness of the gameplay so hats off to them.

Shame it has to end so soon.

XboxPosted:

I'm hyped to give the beta a try. Still deciding if I will get the full game or not but most likely I will especially if I have friends to play with.

MickersPosted:

Most gaming PC's should run this easily.

JastyPosted:

I'm glad PC users will get to experience the game bungie has created, if only they'd introduce a cross-save, if they did that then I'd buy it on all 3 platforms.

DusknoirPosted:

It basically needs a half decent cpu and a boss GPU.

EchoPosted:
