GUARDIANS

Armored Engine of War - Their lightning-charged fists will knock you off your feet. Their armor and shields make them nearly invincible. We like to think they are our faceless knights, protecting us from our countless enemies. But their power and resolve gives them the air of rising Gods.WARLOCK
Wielder of Arcane Power - They've found a way to weaponize their curiosity, harnessing the Traveler's light in patterns never before imagined. Warlocks are not passive scholars of the unknown. These are mystic warriors, capable of incredible acts of devastation.GAME MODES

Third Person Social Space - Home of the Guardians, the Tower is a third person social hub where you can regroup, rearm, and form new alliances before venturing beyond the safety of the City's walls.DESTINATIONS
EARTH
Our home. After the Darkness swept over us, we found the Traveler where it made its last stand. Beneath, we built The City – our last – within its protective aura. From here, Guardians stand watch, defend our civilization, and strike out into the wild frontiers of Earth – and beyond – to reclaim our lost worlds.MARS
What little we know of Mars may as well be a myth. We built a massive metropolis in the red dust. The Darkness swept nearly all of it away; the sand itself claimed the rest. No one knows what remains of our lost age, now buried beneath the dunes.MOON
Like Earth, the ruins of humanity's former glory can be found scattered across the familiar lunar surface. Recent exploration attempts have been repulsed, reporting increased enemy activity, and even strange tectonic phenomenon. The City has since classified the Moon as a "Forbidden Zone," open only to our most brave and experienced Guardians.VENUS
Venus was once the site of great discovery – a paradise. Now, it is a monument to all that we have lost. The old stories say we built an academy dedicated to learning and research on the shore of a wondrous sea, and that the waters themselves boiled and rose up to shatter the coast, washing away all that we had built.ENEMIES
CABAL
Few Guardians have faced Cabal and lived to tell the tale. They are a professional military operation. On every front we have found them on the march, they have already dug in and ringed their installations with razor wire. Now, it seems they've turned their eyes towards us.FALLEN
Fallen are hardy creatures who can survive in a wide range of environments without heavy armor or complex modifications to their physiology. They travel light, hit hard, and are gone before you know it. Fallen may look like mere scavengers, but on closer inspection you will see hints of a splendid, sophisticated past, and the proud markings of their ancestral "Houses."HIVE
Hive manipulate the physical world in ways that we can only begin to imagine. The Hive have carved a kingdom deep into the lifeless core of the Moon, and it is there they remain, silent and buried among many dark and terrible secrets, a reminder of the tremendous power that brought forth the Collapse.VEX
Scattered reports indicate that the Vex appear to be mass-produced machine units, constructed of an unknown metal alloy resembling hammered brass. All attempts to communicate with them have failed. They are hostile. They are unrelenting. They are deadly.WARNING:

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Case in point is that in order to get back to the "town" (or tower in this case) all you have to do is hit start, triangle and go to it. No traversing across mass amounts of barren wasteland dodging enemies you don't want to fight. Also, getting to a certain part of the map is just as easy. I don't have to spend 20 minutes going to different travel stations.
The graphics are more real, kind of Halo-ish. Not the cartoon type graphics of borderlands. Also, being a programmer, I can tell the coding of this game is far superior to Borderlands. They are continually adding things and bugs are not being introduced and stuff isn't breaking. Borderlands on the other hand is presumably a bunch of spaghetti code. Buggy as hell. I can't even play it anymore.
Multiplayer coop. it's great. Having a lot of fun playing this. If people are not in my friends list, I don't have to hear them on their headsets, so there's no awkward conversations or need to break the ice. You just meet and play.
PVP. The people who are lvl 28 say it's balanced and those who are below lvl 20 say it's not for the most part. I've unloaded on some fools before and melee'd them yet they've hit me once and I'm toast. it's not balanced.. There are perks and weapons that higher level folks get that gain them a clear advantage. However it is very fun. It's also it's baked into part of the game map so you don't have to exit out and start the game in multiplayer pvp mode.
Long story short, don't believe these crappy reviews. This is a solid shooter that will be imitated by a lot of FPS to come. They did a great job. There are just a lot of beotches out there.
Pros:
1. Excellent controls, excellent game play.
2. Beautiful music.
3. Gorgeous environments.
Cons:
1. No story, No narrative, No intention to improve. (I say this after trying the first DLC)
2. Single Player game is repetitive and monotonous and forces you to take two steps back for every step forward (constantly re-updating your armor to stay competitive is a terrible gameplay mechanic)
3. Player v. Player can be intense, fun at times, but the connectivity is so exceptionally spotty that half my games are too laggy to be playable. I have a NAT 1 Connection, doesn't matter because the gameplay seems to sink to the lowest common denominator. Additionally, with the addition of the DLC, half the PvP is now locked behind a pay-wall - including features previously included in the vanilla game (Iron Banner). This is so unethical that it borders on criminality (removing basic features unless you pay for the DLC). Also, because the PvP is often limited to to those who HAVE paid for the DLC, matches have a smaller pool of potential connections to draw from...and those connections end up being worse...which just exacerbates the lag.
4. Grindfest. In order to progress you have to mine almost a dozen different currencies for different kinds of weapons and armor. It just makes no sense and ends up feeling pretty frustrating.
5. The Cryptarch. Loot drops randomly, but also has to be "decrypted" by a guy back at the central hub. So you have to randomly GET the loot, then when the guy goes to decrypt it, you get another random roll that determines WHAT the loot actually is. This is just a way to try to get players with a predilection for gambling hooked on a pointless and masturbatory experience.
I give it 3 stars because there is some redeeming play and the game is just gorgeous, but it is all form and no function. Get a clan if you plan to purchase it.
