If you haven’t figured out your plans for this Valentine's Day, Bungie will be hosting Doubles Skirmish matches in Destiny. The announcement is laden with all the cheese you'd expect from this kind of promotion, but it's all for a good bit of fun.

Destiny players who have not yet picked up an Icebreaker Sniper Rifle should gather their Strange Coins and visit Xûr, Agent of the Nine. The mystery vendor appeared once again Friday morning with one of the most coveted weapons in the PlayStation and Xbox shooter. Destiny power leveling offers more game help.

Gesehen wurde dieser besagte Destiny-Spieler im Tower und hatte den Namen "BungieHelp02", was wahrscheinlich darauf schließen lässt, dass der Herr oder die Dame möglicherweise ein paar Tests für das Entwickler-Team durchgeführt hat. Das ist ja an sich nichts besonderes.

Die Brückenpassage ist das taktisch anspruchsvollste Encounter des Raids. Es dauert am längsten, es zu erklären. Das Encounter sei so designet, dass jedes Mitglied des Teams eine Gelegenheit habe, zu glänzen. Außerdem sollte jeder hier lernen, wie das mit dem Schwert funktioniert.

One of the biggest criticisms of Destiny is that its story is practically non-existent. The only way to piece together the lore is through “Grimoire” cards earned by playing (and only viewable outside the game).

which makes it seem like the user is probably a Bungie employee. Whether or not this sweet gear will ever be available to the public is unknown, but perhaps it has something to do with the “House of Wolves” expansion, which apparently the file of which can be downloaded — but not used — on the Xbox Store already.

If all of this sounds a bit apocalyptic, rest assured, it isn't. With every Destiny article I write, there are several people who respond by saying something like, "I never got the hype," or, "I played for a week, then traded it in. Whatever." I'm certain the comments below this article will be filled with many more of those folks, smilingly sharing the fact that they stopped playing long ago.

Once or twice, I'd be talking to my colleague and Destiny power leveling bro Jason Schreier about playing, and we'd both hem and haw and slowly realize that, to be honest, we'd rather do something else. It just wasn't worth our time.

With Battlefield Hardline’s beta coming to an end, Visceral Games and EA are both in number-crunching mode, preparing to run the stats and see what they can improve in the game prior to launch. An interesting figure they’ve uncovered is that more than 5 million people in total have played the beta so far – that’s more than Destiny‘s beta last year, a game hyped to no end.

Reddit user’s t0nin0t and willisgaming2 shared videos of what it would be like if Samuel L. Jackson and Arnold Schwarzenegger had voiced Ghost instead of Peter Dinklage. There is lots of not safe for work swearing in these videos so please watch them with headphones on or in the comfort of your own home.

In addition to revealing when The House of Wolves expansion would be coming, Bungie also revealed that the weapons in Destiny will receive some balancing tweaks. Will the Pulse Rifles be less woeful now, and will the Auto Rifle nerf upset PlayStation and Xbox players?

Bungie is ready to launch a brand new weapon balance update for Destiny in patch 1.1.1, which is due to arrive sometime before the end of February 2015. It’s not quite as dramatic as some of the past updates, but if you’re a fan of shooting things in the game — and if Destiny is a thing you play, then that’s probably the case — then you should probably take a look.
