Planet side is clearly an MMO fps. Flying ships are just loading screens. I said that it has MMO like elements (like the fact that it looks like an open world but it very much is not). Bungie could've easily made this an MMO if they wanted to. If they created a giant patrol in which a MASSIVE amount of players loaded into and then got sub divided as you moved into specific instances mission... However this isn't the case. The design is that when you are in orbit and select a zone to load you either go into someone else's hosted game with a max of 8 in patrol or 16 in tower or if none are found you then create your own hosted zone. There isn't a persistent world always waiting that everyone loads into, just thousands of small hosted games, which like I've been saying this is no different than any multiplayer online game ever made. Another easy change that would make this into a MMO is if when you selected patrol it asked what server would you like to load. The reason why I said MMO like is that it really is ALMOST an MMO but bungie very clearly made it not an MMO when they could have.
