Looks like you are gonna have to look for a different game. It's taken a year but I have decided that I have absolutely no interest in playing with other people and just like some of the replies here say, Bungie has firmly aimed the game at multiplayer fireteams. I think it's a shame as I believe it's not really necessary but it's bungies game and they can do what they like. There are lots of other games out there to play that are aimed at single players. It's really not worth paying all that money for DLC when you won't see the benefit of it. I've had some good times playing this game so I am not pissed off or anything, it's just time to find something that fits my play style better.
