He has led just 10 laps all season. “This is probably the best worst season I’ve had as far as just not having the ultimate numbers,” Newman said. “Our average is good, which is still a part of getting yourself into the Chase if there are not 16 winners....

It took months for Bungie to fix the “heavy ammo bug,” which robbed Guardians of their heavy ammo during respawns and cutscenes. Players are still waiting for Bungie to raise the cap on Glimmer, the in-game currency, or come up with a smoother way to use an ammo synthesis during battle. In short, Destiny is headed in the right direction, but there’s still a long way to go....
