I still don't see how the 360 is even capable of doing an MMOFPS.

The PS3 tried to do it with MAG but that failed miserably and the graphics were crappy as all of the seven hells. The 360 really can't support more than about 24 players for an optimized FPS.

The game probably won't feel like an MMO at all if they're shooting for an xbox release. I can guarantee it. Subscriptions? HELL YES. They will do it. They did a -blam!- subscription for HALO 3/ODST/REACH, you can bet your wallet they'll do it again for Destiny. Probably won't be mandatory, though.

IMO, Bungie's last release, Halo Reach, was an atrocity so they're going to have to release a very good game to catch my good side.

Oh and by the way, from what I can tell, this game is probably going to feel a lot like Armored Core V, except with forced factions rather than custom ones. Conquer territories for your faction, etc. MAG did this too.
MMO elements != MMO.

MMO implies thousands of people are all in the same space, which would probably require dedicated and segmented servers if your MMO is at all successful, which would mean dat monthly fee which I'm sure Bungie knows their fans don't want to fork up.

So, once again, MMO elements != MMO.

Take a step back with me and enjoy a taste of the bittersweet that is our current generation.

I enjoy Battlefield and Call of Duty, and Gears of War.

I love anything political.

Very excited for this.

It has been done before. It was some MMO Futuristic Shooter. Twas a very fun demo, but the Subscription made me forget about it completely.

Why does the tank have a marathon symbol on it and the tech priest look like a marathon "flasher" wielding a gravity hammer?

Come to think of it the "We're dark but you still burn bright" banner looks a lot like that image too, with the septagon replacing the planet.

and it's like every single person in this thread forgot that every single bungie game released since Halo 3 had a paid subscription. Destiny won't be any different. The only question is whether it's mandatory. I don't think it will be.

What, Bungie Pro? I hardly think that counts.

Bungie pro is a paid subscription for the Bungie halos. It counts. Because its a paid subscription. Don't bother sugarcoating it.

You look unto me now through the profile screen found at http://www.bungie.net/Account/Profile.aspx. Here we are, mutually faceless, both ones in the Seventh.

When I first saw the screenshot on the home page I thought this new game was taking place in the Marathon universe. The grey cloaked guys look a little like Pfhor to me... oh and also

THIS IS GOING TO BE A KICK-ASS GAME

Considering the game has to be released in less than a year, I'm not surprised at all that this was released (despite it being released unintentionally).

It looks pretty cool, though.

And? It was not a vital component to the experience, you didn't need to buy it.

never said it was.

the question was whether previous bungie titles had paid subscriptions. The answer is yes, the past 3 games bungie has released had paid subscriptions. Now that Destiny is under Activi$ion, don't expect that to go away.
