More Gamestop Exclusives?
According to a Reddit post from an alleged Gamestop employee, it was announced today in a manager’s meeting for Activision games that if you pre-order the new Call of Duty: Advance Warfare when you pick up Destiny, you’ll get an exclusive black & gold shader. The Redditor seems reliable based on his history but says an official announcement won’t happen until 8/28/14. A local Gamestop was unable to verify but didn’t deny the possibility.

Best Controller Layout?
User Black Coffee poses a good question: What’s the best layout? Read the full article here. [divider] Default Pretty standard, somewhere between the normal Halo and COD configuration. Melee and grenades are both on the bumpers which makes them fairly easy to use.

The Cabal are a large, rhino-like species that inhabit Mars. They are powerful, especially at close range, and are well armored with body armor and, for some classes, thick shields. They are predominantly militaristic in nature (Spartans/Romans). Community member DBMgamer0722 has a great video revealing all of the Cabal classes, as well as touching on some of their symbolism.
