Onw thing that I have noticed is that we have no I repeat no idea how this game plays. Other than its mmo scifi and a first person shooter.

Some may say its a massive multiplayer game. But what does that mean. Is it that there is interaction with many players, or is there massive multiplayer matches like in mag. Also how big are the maps, and how many players in one game. Is this being played on one map, over one server.

So anyway how do you think destiny will play?

Actually the contract never specified if it was first or third person, it just said it was a scifantasy shooter with MMO elements, which in itself provides a ton of discussion opportunity.

Personally I feel that the game will be MMO like in that it will have large player matches and clan support, but that would be blind speculation.

I'm hoping for something like World of Warcraft with each faction having its own home city/planet. Maybe the first-person competitive aspect will be similar to queuing for a battleground or arena battle where dedicated servers host a closed match.

There could also be different servers for each planet or for each continent on a planet where battles are constantly going on and you can join at any time.

I think it will be a mix between Dust 514 and Star wars Galaxies, whilst also being able to sculpt and mould areas or entire planets!

Edit: And of course fluid ground to orbit space flight. (pretty please Bungie!) :P

Completely hypothetically, if Bungie were to do something with space flight, I would beg one thing:

Don't force us into an orientation. In Reach if you flew in 'Long Night of Solace' it forced you back to the ''correct'' orientation if you tried to fly upside-down for a few seconds. I hated that. I would LOVE to be able to fly however I wanted without ANY auto-correct whatsoever. It would be amazing.

The enemy's gate is down, after all.
