What do you think drives a great MMO? Does Destiny have that drive or is it just a FPS on Roids? Think of Halo, CoD, Boarderlands, and Battlefield then compare it to FF Online, WoW, Diablo,and DragonAge. Skyrim, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy Metal Gear. MMO's/ FPS/RPG's. Where does Destiny truly fall?

    Destiny is NOT an MMO. BUNGIE said it and I agree. Even made a post about it the other day. I loved Borderlands 2 but I don't consider that one either. These are games with Co OP. Usually modern mmos have less party and exploration restrictions. We could do a 6 man team for just about anything if it were. And lobbies for anything max out at 16.. You consider that MASSIVELY multiplayer? I don't. It's just regular old coop with varying party sizes. I mean every darkness zone stops other gamers from joining your specific mission or even being seen by you or helping. It stops all interaction and created a regular coop mission. That happens in every story mission except patrol and even some patrols create restricted access darkness zones limiting interaction. Bungie didn't call it an MMO because they don't want it held to that standard of content and community interaction. Because it can't be compared to that level! The content is lacking and the restrictions or flat out lack of community interaction can be glaring. And the expansions would be held to a higher standard which would mean those reviews would be even worse! They shouldn't have called it an expansion anyway, just dlc. Destiny is a multiplayer game, it has a few modern multiplayer features and somewhat shared areas but it is NOT an MMO.
