I'm pretty sure Destiny is going to be Sci-Fi, if it's not this theory is blown out of the water lol.

I'm pretty sure they're going to seperate the campaign with the multiplayer, and the story will be awesome.

But in Multiplayer, it is going to be something completely revolutionary. I think if in the game you pick a faction to be apart of (see Seven Seraphs, FWC, etc.) and you'll have to work together to take over territories. Where every battle counts. I'll be using gametypes that we're familiar with from Halo to make visualizing how it would play out easier.


Invasion Gametype: Actually invading enemy territory and taking over bases in the world.

Slayer: Skirmishes leading up to an invasion scenario. Try to keep dying at a minimum to keep resources up for bases.

Capture the Flag: It would be more like capturing resources or upgrades for the faction. Like capturing a launch key for a nuke or something. I'd call it espionage.

Forge: Would be something to create your own base after capturing it. Except it would be like an actual match where you have to guard the base while the Forgers create it. Enemy forces can retaliate and keep Forgers from creating the base to its fullest potential.


After each match the universe would actually change, the multiplayer arena wouldn't be the same. It would be one large continous battle for power. Bungie could introduce events to shake things up, LIVE! We'd literally be forging the destiny of the multiplayer story.

I'm not so good with advice...Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

How about we wait until we actually know something concrete about the game before we start guessing about the multiplayer.

A little bit of sausage, a little bit of hot sauce, a whole lot of awesome. Have a question? Ask me!

I imagine it's going to be awesome and idk what else to imagine because I don't know enough about Destiny.

That's boring, and unrealistic. Do you think Bungie knew anything concrete about the game when they started developing it? Speculation is harmless so long as you go out of your way to clarify that it is speculation.

Personally I feel that the multiplayer will have increased interaction with Bungie.net, with the abillity to make lobbies on Bungie.net so that when you log in invites are automatically sent out.

I hope the gameplay is like that of the old Halo games. You know, starting out on even ground, to fight for control to get the "upper hand" an secure the win. The Quake/Unreal gameplay the foundation of Halo was built upon. Not this generic shooter crap every game is emulating now adays and what Halo has become.

Though, those types of games are probably gone for good.

Well, knowing Bungie, I think we can say with confidence that it will be awesome, whatever it is like!

But also pretty pointless at times.

It's better than the usual endless threads about ignore features, moderators, mythic members, features being too much like facebook, and all that junk. It's a nice change of pace.

I think it's going to be a mix of Halo and UT. Fast gameplay with over the top environments and weapons.

I like Cheese

I'd like a massive space battles, with the ability of taking a ship from the capital ship, going to the enemy's ship and raid and destroy the power core/other equipment.
Have customization and such.
Have the ability to enter "slow motion" for 30 or so seconds.
I'd also like the ability to start an invasion on an enemy planet, like being the captain of a Fleet and ordering landing crafts and such, and have negotiations with the local leaders to sign a treaty.
One can only dream..

Hopefully there aren't any FMJ rounds otherwise, you can just shoot throught the maze walls and- I think I know what game I'm making next.

I could see that working in Singleplayer (Enter the Matrix anyone?), but how that would work in Multiplayer is beyond me. Clearly if you're the only one slowing down, you become rather easy to shoot, and if everyone's perception of time slows down to match yours, that might be disruptive from an immersion standpoint.

Invading ships in space would be cool though, if it's done properly. I always hated the over simplified ships in Battlefront II with their five room design, it should be a lot more elaborate and condusive to infantry combat.

I could swear some game did this recently. I remember reading about it, and it basically affected the player who does it, the player(s) they're targeting, and anyone with line-of-sight to either of the previous two.

I don't recall what game it was, though. Might be something yet unreleased. *shrugs*

I think in order to go slow motion your character would just speed up to be quite honest. It would be easier to make an adrenaline/rage mode just for it to make sense gameplay wise during multiplayer. And singleplayer would be slow-mo

EDIT: Max Payne 3 has achieved bullet-time in multiplayer The one in bullet time moves in normal speed, while everyone who can interact with him or his actions is slowed.

F.E.A.R. has also used slow-mo in multiplayer. This game has even special game types for it, like Slow-Mo (Team)Death Match and Slow-Mo CTF.
"Slow-Mo is a pick-up acquired by grabbing a reflex booster placed on the map.....When Slow-Mo is initiated in multiplayer, time will slow down for all players in the game, but the player with the Slow-Mo booster and any players on that person's team will be able to react quicker than their foes. When the person with the Slow-Mo booster is killed, the booster will drop at their feet and can then be picked up by any other player." from F.E.A.R. manual
