After playing two matches of

I didn't get a chance to play as a Hunter, but was the victim of the Nightstalker subclass' Void bow super, which was particularly frustrating, although not very harmful in the wrong hands. You don't have much time to aim--as soon as you use it, your Hunter pulls back and shoots the arrow. If it connects with an enemy, it's an instantaneous kill. Otherwise, it creates an area-of-effect field that slows and blinds enemies within it. It'll be great for Destiny's strikes and raids, but it didn't work that well in the hectic environment of Mayhem.

This match took place on the Venetian map, Crossroads, another great addition to Destiny. As soon as I spawned into the game, I was reminded of Halo games of yore, because man-cannons and teleporters are finally in Destiny. Flinging yourself across a chasm never felt so good, and these catapults will put you directly into the main chokepoints. Long sight lines also add room for sniper gameplay, something lacking in most of Destiny's maps.

As my final Mayhem game came to a close, I thought about the new additions to the core Destiny formula. The upcoming subclasses provide some much needed variety to the gameplay loop. I felt more powerful and had more fun than ever with the new super moves.

Bungie seems to be working hard to revitalize Destiny, so I’m optimistic about The Taken King. Keep an eye on GameSpot in the coming months for more about the expansion.

Climb the enemy-filled tower, find the traitors in your team, and defeat The End to save the world in Lost Dimension! The world is driven to chaos when a mysterious tower suddenly appears, followed by explosions. In the tower resides “The End,” a person who threatens to destroy the world. To stop him, SEALED, a special forces unit comprised of psychics, is created. You are a member of SEALED and the newly minted leader of a group tasked with scaling the tower and stopping The End. Create a team strategy and synergize your 11 team members’ abilities to get past the enemies of the tower! In addition to fighting, remember to develop bonds in between battles, as that is key to finding the traitor in your midst. Once you reach the Judgement phase, you’ll be forced to eliminate your enemies (or allies!) on each floor until you reach the top. Each playthrough will have different results, so don’t get too attached to anyone. Keep your friends close, but your enemies even closer. What will happen when you reach The End? Coming physically and on PSN Summer 2015 to PlayStation 3 and Vita.
