Destiny will be competitive if the community wants it to, and as long as there’s enough that do, it inevitably will be. The following video is not one we endorse, or agree with, but wanted to rebut.

AI Behavior

The AI in Destiny is phenomenal, even on the normal difficulty settings. Just imagine the difficulty and sophistication once we’re able to access raids. A big thanks to Alexxd94 for these images and descriptions! [divider]
