I <3 you too Bungie

So what do you guys think of the rumor(s) that Destiny is a faction-based MMO? The idea is that four factions mirror the domains Bungie picked up recently: Dead Orbit, New Monarchy, Seven Seraphs, and Osiris. Supposedly tshirts have been spotted in the wild too.

Nothing I have seen points toward an MMO other than their connection with Activision. I combed through recent news and financials. Nothing references anything about this. Everyone seems to be pretty adept at being quiet.

Please no MMO's! I hate how they are time consuming, I just want to pick up a controller and play.

It's not hard to make a non time consuming mmo... It's just most are on a payment plan (monthly credit card charge) so the more addicted you are the more moneez they get. If it's gonna be on XBL and PSN then I doubt there'll be a monthly fee and therefore they'll focus on substance and pick-up-and-play-a-bility. MMO's should be an easy genre to make PUAP considering they're so random and nonlinear in the goals and quests.

I have no doubt Bungie could do it.

Now, for the OP.

First of all... they weren't "spotted in the wild". All the shirts are visible on employees in the ViDoc.

Also, you forgot FWC (Future War Cult).

Finally, helpful links:

HALO 2 FOREVER - M.I.A.

Yes i have a Twitter and yes i voice my opinion.

Bungie's next game is not an mmo as it was said as a joke.

link for info

Now, in rehearsal Aldridge was convinced that everybody got the joke. It was all in the delivery, he assured us, and he was certain it was clear that he was playfully riffing off of the recent rumors. Unfortunately, most people can,t figure David out - they can't process him. And we don't expect them to. You can't process David Aldridge with a normal brain. You'd need tiger blood and Adonis DNA.

Maybe it wasn't THEN... remember, Halo: CE was gonna be an RTS.

I completely discount that entire exchange. It neither confirms or denies that Destiny might be an MMO.

There are tons of faction based mmos....


World of Warcraft is the number 1.


Guild Wars had an expansions called Factions which you fight the other faction in battles.

So you're inferring that another faction-based MMO would be pedantic and totally not Bungie? Not a bad argument.

"There is no time for peace. No respite. No forgiveness. There is only WAR!"

t-shirts are in the wild

some are made (like mine!) or given out by bungie/ bungie partners, like to the people who made a studio visit a few months ago.

and the rest are worn by bungie employees.

and all of the current faction logos

"I pledge to punch all switches, to never shoot where I could use grenades, to admit the existence of no level except Total Carnage, to never use caps lock as my "run" key, and to never, ever, leave a single BoB alive."

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

I could definitely see this as being an RPG or RTS of some sorts. That'd be great fun!

I seriously want an MMORPGFPSRTS. Not lying if they cram all of this into their next game I swear on my life I'd buy it. Allow a 3rd person view too and some sort of Bungie Favorites feature again.
