Destiny may “require” co-op play for end-game missions
“You absolutely are going to be able to play Destiny by yourself and have the same kind of fun shooter-experience that you could have in a single-player campaign, which is a word that we’ve weeded out of our vocabulary,” Bungie’s Jason Jones told Game Informer.
“But we’re going to give you this great player-progression on top of that, and we’re going to give you as many opportunities as we possibly can to expose you to other people, so that hopefully you’re drawn into some social experiences, because those are incredibly powerful and interesting, but we’re not going to force those on you.
“We describe it in a lot of ways as sloping the floor towards socialization, without putting a requirement on it,” he continued. “I would say that there’s some sort of – if you wanted to talk about it in MMO terms, you’d say ‘end-game activities’, but some of the most intense non-competitive activities in the game do require cooperation. They require a group of players to tackle at once.
“I guess at some variable, distant endpoint we are going to say, ‘Yeah, if you show up at this door, and you don’t have five friends, you’re not going to be able to succeed,’ but the core experience that solo players have enjoyed in shooters, they’re going to be able to get that, and we’re going to pull many of them into social experiences as well.”
So, it sounds as if it won’t just be a case of these missions being too difficult to tackle alone, but rather that being part of a team will be a requirement. If you were planning on playing the role of a nomad, this might come as a bit of a blow.

Mortar Whilst this is a very nice idea as it means players will be able to come together and interact with others, it would be wise for these missions to be playable on your own as to cater to all players. I personally like playing campaign/story missions ect on my own as I can go through it at my own pace and not be potentially slowed down by other players.
And you might not get good people at all to play with

I would hate that so much.

Sanctorum Surely they won't make it mandatory for you to connect to online just to play a campaign mission? That's slightly moronic IMO.
Though I'm pretty sure those missions will be optional at the least. I trust Bungie, I'm sure they'll find a way for both SP and MP folks to finish the game.
