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.

When you are talking MMO like end game activities within this context then it sounds very much like optional stuff to do when you have finished the game. Dont have a problem with that. Its just optional stuff which you need to team up to complete. In fact from a design perspective its nice that they are considering that and including it.

Yop This is just a rip off version of Halo in my opinion.
It's not rip off. It is a whole new and better series. Halo stretched it way too far by making Halo 4 and now 5. Halo should have stopped and ended perfectly at 3.

Surely they won't make it mandatory for you to connect to online just to play a campaign mission? That's slightly moronic IMO.

HOF What if you dont have live and cant play with others? Bad move on the developers part.
They might make it optional, I don't know.

Bungie probably won't do it, but if they do, sucks for you! :)
