In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
They've brought it back online early. You can play it now.
any new content?
Sorry if this has been asked already, but does anything carry over to the game from the Beta? Say your character and level.
I highly doubt that, otherwise it'd be silly. Beta is usually wiped for full release.
That what my thinking. I think I'm gonna stop playing it now, I have already put in way too many hours. I have almost every gun unlocked now, sucks that we lose it all.
I'll go on around then too afro
Can you do the strike mission solo? The people I was playing with left and it was really tough.
I tried once, you really do need a tleast another player to take some of the agro though...
I could barely do it with 2 others, they dragged me through.
I did the strike mission on hard with just one other guy, it's not difficult if you use your head.
I did a few alone. You need the right weapons and armour.
Does anyone know if the side missions end or just keep going? I put a few hours in to them already.
Had a day off today so flew through it on the PS4. Decent so far. It doesn't remind me of Halo or COD I think Bungie have done well to give it it's own feel. I love the weapons and I like the way you come across new ones all the time. Only thing that I think would be better is if enemies didn't re spawn so damn quick after killing them. Like in some areas I'll clear out a group only for them to literally re spawn the second I'm gone a few metres away. I'm not sure why they do this but it makes killing them feel pretty pointless and makes you want to ignore them?
I find that very annoying too. But some side missions have you killing a number of them, so that's where the re-spawning comes in handy.
Ye that's true. Another thing I guess is I've only found them annoying now I've completed the proper missions. Hopefully in the real game I doubt I'll be doing anywhere near as much back tracking.
The back tracking is annoying too, I did a mission, or side mission, and I had to go back through the route I took and fight everyone again. Once you get the hover bike you can just drive past them all.
Yep I'm not doing any more of the side missions now. I think they are just there to give people something to do when it's finished and they are nowhere near as fun as the proper missions. A really good Beta though I'm going to have to play the multiplayer later.
Do the side missions even end? I put in about 2 hours but they more just keep appearing, but I'm done with, your character doesn't carry over to the game, so it's pointless. I agree, it's an excellent Beta and I did try the multiplayer, it's pretty good.
Beta is pointless continuing with? I'm not sure you guys even understand the actual point of a beta.
What are these side missions people are on about? I've played through the story levels and the Devil's Lair. Can't see anything else to do?
On explore, you basically just roam about finding missions, its somewhere on earth I think.
Just got a blue sniper rifle 
... Need to be level 10 to use it though bastards!
... Need to be level 10 to use it though bastards!Hmm, didn't remember the option when selecting to travel to earth it just brought up the story missions.
You get a blue mission/icon called explore I think, then a green one or something for the strike. The story missions are orange iirc.
I'll have a quick check, see if it comes up.
So how do you go about accessing the beta? I have a code, but how do I play / download it?
Enter it as a normal code on the playstation store and it downloads small updates, then you download the rest in the game menu.
Tried to get a quick sesh going last night but I was just too tired... few more days right? Will try to get on tonight...
Cheers - will try that tonight.
Looking at my Destiny stats on PSN last night. Me >>>>>> All of you (that i have on PSN)
@Glock17 have you changed your username on here? Or am I getting confused?
Yh mate Dwayne changed it after I begged him to.
Have you been playing Destiny much yet? Was gna try it out on the XB1 later with a different class
Which class is did you guys pick?
I was a Warlock but I want to see what the Hunter is like too.
I picked Warlock. Is there a great deal of difference apart from aesthetics?
I played a few hours with Duafc last night, and we seemed to be unlocking the same stuff in a different style. Yeah Jack, it's good fun. It's absolutely quality as an overall product, even if I think in some individual areas they could perhaps improve. The scope is amazing and I can't wait to play more of it.
You get the vibe of so many games. Mass Effect, Phantasy Star, Halo, Borderlands, Star Wars The Old Republic.
One thing is really bugging me though - the glide. Does it get better with upgrades? In comparison to jet packs on Titanfall, Crysis, Halo Reach etc. it feels really clunky. It feels too slow for me aswel, and due to the nature of the game with more focus on aiming than hipfire I don't feel like you can get any sort of advantage in a battle using it.
Hit me up when you go on it Jack.

What's Warlock like? I picked Titan and I like it so far, I can go blasting through anyone.
Will I just unlock the PVP by playing through the campaign? Or have I already got the ability to play it?
I'm level 5/6.
I'm level 5/6.
Yeah Saturday or Sunday it ends I think. Was on for a while last night but you never appeared.
I've went hunter this time, was a titan in the alpha, noticed some differences to do with weapon types maibly. Unless I just used different weapons. Currently use a scout rifle as my main weapon... Nice long range damage.
Alock: Get at me with your thoughts on PvP, I remember you saying it looks a lot like CoD. And the glide is the mutts nuts, you just need to get used to it... double tap to go straight up, tap on the way down to glide/float down... feel free to hip fire too, I get the feeling you think it's throwned upon.
ONO: You on later?
