Destiny Focus: Competitive Multiplayer

Analysis, Media, Original 6 comments

There’s a lot to be said for the boundless cooperative campaign that exists at Destiny’s core, but for many, a competitive multiplayer component devised by the same team that bought us the original Halo trilogy is another huge draw in an already sizable game.
