The music at the end did give me goosebumps but I seriously swriously miss the mood, the mystique and melancholy Marty's music had.......it was ingrained in my brain ! Was so weird when Taken King changed it.

The beta pre-load is available now if you've pre-ordered. If you pre-ordered from PSN/XB store you can just download it. If you pre-ordered from a retailer and registered your code, you have to log into your bungie account and go to Codes to get your download code.
IIRC there were 3 Playstation regions to choose from + 1 Xbox?
Coordinate with your mates if you want to play together, easy to make a mistake here on a drop down list with no chance of recovery.

I think I only saw 2 for PS (Americas and EU I think). PC and XB had 1 global option.
Is it weird once I learned apparently grimoire (score) is NOT in this, it might actually appeal to me more? Grimoire has been a gigantic grindy time sink for me, over and greater than every other grindy time sink in D1. Of course I could just not do it, but yeah.
After 2500+ hours of grinding D1, I'm not so sure I'll mind the new "casualified" D2, if it indeed it pans out like that. I'm kind of looking forward to it!
I could see liking a easier more casual D2 that you just drop a couple hours in every week and dont feel like you're missing anything, rather than a big time sink.
I bet there's still tons of grind, though.
Anyways, preordered digitally through Xbox store. They say they dont charge "until ten days from release until release" or something, so ten day window before release I guess. So we'll see exactly when they charge. Still a nice feature though.

found it amusing !
Beta is downloaded and ready and the wait is killing.
The main menu music doesn't have the feel. It is grand but feels devoid of any emotion, or maybe it doesnt work on me. Tried t keep it going for quite some time, dont feel it.

amazon only charge on delivery right? i stupidly pre order the physical version on Amazon US instead of Digital US (i use pizza hut US add)
You can cancel an amazon order any time before dispatch.
Was amazon cheaper than ordering from the MS Store to even make that mistake?
I was unable to login to psn

Will we have weapon and armour drops in the beta? Any kind of levelling up?
36 hours left.
Dang, download speed in the jungle is pretty bad.
Anyway, I hope I can play with you guys

you get to complete the first set of story missions and 1 strike.
So there will be loot. I imagine will be same as D1 beta/trial.
Nothing will carry over though =P damn that.
Hmm I got my days mixed up, so I was expecting the beta tmrw for us poor Xboxers. Now I have to wait another day yet, humbug.
BTW I could be wrong but this seems much less content than D1 beta. I believe it's: 1st story mission (only). 1 strike. And then 1 mode/2 maps of multiplayer. I dont remember D1 beta perfectly but I think it was like all Earth plus you could advance to level 8. D2 beta seems much more limited, which is probably good in jacking up the hype factor.
So most likely it'll be mostly crucible for me. Not sure if there's supposed to be progression, but 1 strike and 1 mission wouldn't suggest that.
Cant wait though. It will be fun seeing how much the presentation has improved now that they've gone current gen only. Also I wonder if it will be back to 900P on Xbone (if they pushed the current gen hardware much that should be a consequence).

Played quite a lot today. Looks nice, significant improvement over the first game visually (at least on the pro, not sure if they are supporting it in the beta though). The game still needs a motion blur option, it is a juddery mess without it (30 fps without motion blur can work in some games but certainly not FPS). Funny thing is, when you are "dead" and waiting to respawn the game is actually using motion blur! What the heck!
The game definitely looks, sounds and plays like a big budget game overall, seems very polished.

So. Is it HDR?
