Subject: Bungie's MMOFPS

Word is that Bungie is making an MMOFPS game called Destiny. Barely any MMOFPS games exist and the ones that do are not very popular. But the creators of EVE Online are releasing a MMOFPS called Dust 514 next year that revolves around ground battles during the war in the EVE Universe and allows you to link your EVE Online profile with your Dust 514 profile. And this game actually looks good. If not good, great. This proves that making a good MMOFPS is possible. Now imagine Bungie doing something like this. I think they can take it to the next level, make enormous environments that huge numbers of players can play in at the same time and explore while keeping it fun and rewarding. What do you guys think?

they arent making an MMOFPS, they never even said that it was going to be FPS, they only said it was going to be on a slightly modified Reach engine, and the Reach engine can provide for numerous gameplay styles. Also, theyve stated that they are not making an MMO, but a game with MMO features

MMO on a console wouldn't work. I'd like to see an RPG with multiplayer support. Like having 8 players be able to join your world and complete missions together.

Bungie not making an MMO? Go to Waiting for Destiny, just look at the proof. Enormous environments. And Bungie not making an FPS? Thats ridiculous. Although i'd still support them, its very unlikely. So lets say its an FPS for starters. Now slap on MMO features like you said. Thats called an MMOFPS.

2B || !2B - Why don't you look Inside the Machine?

I don't see any information on the front page about what their game is going to be or Destiny. Remember, nothing is official until its on the B.net front page.

If I remember right, it was declared a joke that Bungie was making an FPS.

Large enviroments in a game does not = MMO.

Bungie makes many types of games, not just FPS.

You can fight and all of you will die, or you can not fight, in which case only most of you will die.

Whatever it is, Destiny is going to be incredible. Then Destiny 2 is going to be revolutionary.

when the hell did they say it would be on the reach engine?

and we have no reason to think it is an fps, but there have been a few clues to it being an mmo.

what I am pretty much certain of (from the environment shots and changing TOD in the vidoc) is that it is an open world game, and that can mean a red dead redemption like sandbox, an elder scrolls/fallout type rpg or an mmo. they mentioned players having a huge impact on the game, so mmo seems plausible. the fact their seems to be several factions could mean that as well

as for actual gameplay, or if it is an fps or not, there hasn't really been info on that

they have done other than fps before, and they might want to try something different after halo. it might be an fps or it might not be

also, while it clearly has huge environments that could mean red dead style sandbox rather than mmo
