I think we are in agreement for the most part, I just think, by looking at DLCs in D1, that there will be some things added when the DLCs drop. I wouldn't be surprised if they add 8v8 with a DLC and call it something new. One of the reasons I say this is that on the Destiny 2 page in the Xbox store it says Destiny 2 is a 1-16 player game and I can't think of anything in D2 that is limited to 16. Social spaces and patrol areas allow for more than that, and nothing else comes even close to being a 16 player experience. I can't think of any other reason it would be labeled a 1-16 player game unless 8v8 was planned at some point. It is just speculation on my part but I do think there are things that Bungie is planning on adding so their DLCs are a little beefier.
