We don't know for sure yet. 360 seems like a sure bet, but the picture gets cloudier from there. We should know after Sunday.
No Player vs Player means Player vs Player or PVP. Multiplayer can mean both PVE and PVP or Coop and PVP. Competitive multiplayer usually means some sort of ranking or ladder system where individuals or teams compete against each other.
What should matter is what the competitive environment will look like. If it's like World of Warcraft where there is an arena style format then that could be cool.
If it's just another matchmaking, well i'm not really on board.
Just throwing the term competitive multiplayer in there shouldn't get anyone's hype meter going. It's a common term every game company uses these days.
Sorry, but it's already as good as dead.
Sorry, in a meeting and didn't get a chance to see this until now. B.net should have a run down of all the ways to stay connected (again, sorry, I would link you but I'm still at corporate on my phone).
Especially since Bungie progressively ruined Halo with each of their releases.

Meeting? What do pharmacists have meetings about?
How to lose money due to corporate incompetence. It's a real blast, guys.
I've always worked for independent companies but since going corporate in September I've been unhappy haha.
Mine are as low as they can be.

Does corporate pay the big bucks?
Less, actually. It's the security and continuity that is worth the pay cut (at least in this situation).

the more i hear about destiny, the less i give a shit about halo 5. (at least till halo 5 info starts coming out :3)
though, i will say. i can't wait to see post destiny release all the inevitable mass gaf bitching that will come about for the game.

Hope life works out for you so you can be Secure, Happy and Wealthy. It sucks been in a position were you are being paid less than previous and not enjoying the job as much just because its a secure placement. I guess with a house now that's the position you have been forced into.The Henery

"FPS gameplay that redefines the genre and breaks traditional..."
Thank you Bungie. Thank you for even attempting to redefine a genre that has become so achingly stale in its slide to a COD model homogenization. This is assuming that statement is not just marketing spiel and they actually are trying something different with the genre.
Even if it's terrible, I'll applaud them for not doing instant respawn, kill streaks and weapon unlocks.
Their recent professed love for Dark Souls has me hoping that they include really steep challenges for a more advanced player in their game; there's no doubt they'll be catering to the less adept videogame player.
The most exciting information is that it's a FPS at all. I don't know why but I was expecting 3rd person perspective.

I think your reading into that a bit too much.
Hopefully your right but honestly it sounds like marketing spiele.
So you're saying should take easy courses next fall, so I have more time to play it? I'm fine with that.
I honestly can't imagine a major studio like Bungie, working with a huge developer like Activision, launching a band new IP that is exclusive (for the first year?) to the Xbox brand and that it won't be on the new hardware.
I mean they just can't release it on the 360... right?
That's what we found on HaloDestiny.net over the online store of one of the french reseller called Micromania, owned by Gamestop if I remember right.
I agree it could be strange to see this new game on Xbox 360, but you know, business is business.
I tought the service agreement document that was leaked said that Destiny was going to be released specifically on current gen consoles.

Destiny will launch October on 360
PS4 and Xbox 720 will ship holiday 2013
Xbox 720 Version of Destiny will ship in early 2014
PS4 Version of Destiny will ship in mid-late 2014
PS3 Version of Destiny will ship either alongside PS4 version or very close to it (only if PS4 version suffers poor adoption rates)
Destiny 2: Durandal will ship in 2015 simultaneously on PS4/Xbox 720.
Do you write for HaloDestiny? It would be great if articles you post could have English version's. I understand you are a french site and that's cool and all but you alienate a large reader base by being french only.

You meant to say 2014.
It's pretty inevitable.
I feel sort of bad being so excited for it, and I know so little. A few people are throwing around PC rumors. If that's true, I won't be buying a new console.
Until Halo 5/Next KojiPro game.

You know us from another NeoGaf account, long time ago I guess, so yes, as the founder, I can say that I write for HaloDestiny too.
I totally agree with you about the fact we should write some of our articles in english. The next version of our website, called D7, will feature an EN version of our content alongside with a FR version and a more social place for both community, Halo and Destiny (it's something new for us because when we took HaloDestiny.net during the Halo 3 era, we wouldn't know that the next Bungie game will be called Destiny ^^).

There were plenty of games that released on the last gen and later produced special upgraded versions for the newest console.

Do want Destiny on PC from the getgo so I can avoid any goofy console choices Bungle might make.
They could not safely test the megatons Bungie can deploy.

I'm sure MS has something Halo planned, and we still have the TU. Still don't have all that info on it. You never know, they may actually fix the DMR.

Right now, since I don't know anything, the wait for Destiny isn't a big deal.
Once Sunday comes, I'm going to be craving it.

I'm not looking forward to Destiny OT because it will split everyone up. We already have half the people posting in the Halo 4 OT
He'll probably do that at DBO first.

LOL. True!
I don't even know them. I won't miss them.
It's like someone is majestically announcing something more than a week before it releases.

That thread is so slow, and nobody from HaloGAF is exclusively posting there.
There's no reason we can't post in both a HaloGAF and DestinyGAF thread. There might be some that go all one or the other, but I don't see it being a problem.
