05/02/2014 PlanetDestiny News 5 comments

This week at Bungie, we sent three Guardians into the wild. We invited you to come along. It’s very likely that you already saw it, but we’re still gonna post it one more time anyway. [yframe url=’http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeDaevD7cEo’] Right about the time those three Guardians were spilling their little secret – along with a ton of Fallen blood – enough journalists to staff a clan let slip with their thoughts and opinions about our game.

Destiny Focus: Competitive Multiplayer

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. We already know that Destiny will include a fully-fledged campaign that will be playable in both single-player and cooperative play, whilst the game will also play host to all manner of additional pursuits such as the relatively shrouded trio of Strike, Raid and Bounty. But it’s Faction Wars, the mode that has been loosely associated as

For those of you who remember that GameStop poster we saw yesterday, it turns out GameStop has released a commercial for the promotion. Showcasing brand new footage, the video states that if you preorder Destiny from GameStop you will receive the Upgraded Red Sparrow (Otherwise known as the Shrike).
