But just what are ‘Faction Wars’ anyway? Are they simply another aspect of the Destiny campaign, or are they perhaps our route into the world of PvP clan wars? Whatever the case, their official confirmation not too long after was met with little surprise

This may be Bungie’s first ever foray into creating a game that is more parts RPG than it is FPS, but if
