Destiny is NOT an mmo... what is massive about 16 players?

People still think this game is an mmo.... Have you people ever played one before? MMO stands for massive multiplayer online.. 16 players is not massive..... battlefield is more of an mmo than Destiny ever would be... Edit: and no leveling up and getting better gear has nothing to do with an mmo... thats called "rpg elements" Edit: like this thread if you agree...

  • Seems like current MMOs to me. The center hub where it's all quiet, nobody is in the chat log cuz they're in guild chat. While out in the world you rarely see people, let alone talk cuz there's no need to make friends since the dungeon finder takes care of that for you. It's just a shame. Beautiful worlds created, but laid to waste because it's not utilized for anything.

      It is an mmo. Name one mmo on consoles that is bigger? At the time of this edit I'd want to ask, of the games being listed do any have better gameplay than destiny? Not content but gameplay

      • I agree Destiny isn't an MMO. What no one should deny though is the fact that Destiny has enough MMO-like elements to warrant the comparisons to true MMO's

      • Destiny isn't an MMO. Only idiots will dispute that. Bungie themselves have said, time and time again, that Destiny is not an MMO. But it does use MMORPG [i]elements[/i]. No, the gear progression, gear resets etc. are not simply RPG elements. They have been adapted from MMORPG's. People simply say MMO because that's what they've been shortened to these days. When was the last time your gear was completely reset playing Skyrim? Probably never. When was the last time your gear was reset playing an MMORPG? Basically every time there's an expansion drop, or hell, even a new raid tier. Kinda like Destiny, no?

          Meanings of words and terms evolve over time my friend. It's natural. Did you know the word "cute" came from "acute"? So cute used to mean that someone was perceptive and had nothing to do with looks. Bully was also used to call someone sweetheart. And everyone knows how the word "gay" evolved.

          • Destiny isn't an MMO.. It has MMO elements though. Destiny is a FPS with RPG and MMO traits.

          • Still has better raids than 99% of mmos out there. IMO best since vanilla wow.

              • actually the term mmo is anything that allows you to interact with others in an open worldish (even limited one like destiny) look at guildwars its a mmo and it was instanced based. Look at warframe mmo but instanced.

                  Massive multiplayer online. Wonder how many play destiny? (A lot some say..a massive amount) Is it multiplayer? (Duh) Is it an online game? (Duh, need that webs to play) Just because its a 16 player lobby in the tower does not mean anything, just saying.

                • If the tech were better or things played nicely then I imagine we'd be able to play cross console but only for each gen, so PS3 and Xbox 360 play together and ps4 and XOne play together. Even better if a system like SAO were developed and we could play destiny like that...

                  • This MMO has the tiniest maps of any MMO game I've seen. I really expected open-world maps like DC Universe Online. Too bad Destiny didn't take the good stuff this and other hybrid MMO games did. At least they got the [b]NERF[/b] part down real well.
