In Bungie's latest podcast there has been a mention of competitive multiplayer map's "These maps are specifically designed 100 percent from the ground up to be awesome for competitive multiplayer," Competitive multiplayer design lead Lars Bakken said.

 

Despite Bungie showing major elements of sociable gameplay and features it appears Bungie is definitely bringing competitiveness among players to Destiny. We will possibly see a range of competitive game types and maps.

 

Polygon highlighted other parts of the podcast where Tyson Green, Destiny's investment lead says about Destiny bringing in a wide range of players as Destiny hold's a lot of elements from role playing to an action shooter

 

"We are going into an interesting space, where we are a shooter, we are an action game, we are a game that a lot of people out are really familiar with and they love and they spend a lot of time playing and we are trying to bring some additional elements to that."

 

 

He also says, "The goal is so that you have this game that you come back to and that your friends come back to, and when you're all coming back to the game, and you all feel like you want to keep playing this game. Then you have a social game at that point. You actually have a cooperative experience, a community experience."

 

According to Lars Bakken the skill you use within Destiny will "go beyond thumb stick abilities and quick fingers" you must understand on how you equip yourself and look at the choices you make.

Im not trying to put down destiny but to me it seems that bungie is still linking it to thier old halo franchies Becuase of the weapon you see above it is too similar to the BR (Battle Rifle) and then again with the rocket on the back of the other Guy it looks alot like the Rocket launcher or the missile pod in halo 3.

Yea. That gun has the same things the BR does, A scope, a trigger, and even the barrel.

 

And the rocket launcher looks nothing like the missle pod or M41. I think the game will have a halo type of feel to it, but they are still sporting a ton of creativity
