Here are a few tips and tricks I've learned from playing the Alpha and Beta:
[b]1)[/b] For a more social experience, set your fireteam to "Public".
[b]2)[/b] If you have a mic, use it during Strikes. It makes coordinating 100% easier.
[b]3)[/b] Press your right thumbstick to access your player interaction quick-menu.
[b]4)[/b] When in a fireteam, WAIT for the rest of your team to arrive before opening a loot chest. Otherwise, they will be forced to come back to it later. Loot chests disappear within seconds of opening them.
[b]5)[/b] Only use one thumbstick to steer your Sparrow. FYI: Right trigger is your brake. If you enjoy drifting corners at full speed, like I do.
[b]6)[/b] Keep going. Go deeper. Turn the next corner. Go over the next hill. Through the doorway. 75% of the time there is more to see. Secret loot, more map, scenic views, shortcuts to other parts of the map, etc.
[b]7)[/b] If you hit a weird glitch where the Tower is empty. Join one of your friend's fireteams via the "Roster" to correct it.
[b]8)[/b] Hold down your trigger to compare items in your inventory/loadout.
