[RUMOR] Destiny 2. No co-op campaign. Missions can only be re-played as a fireteam.

It's literally what's written there. Just read it as a part of a strategy guide and it's not hard to understand what it means. Pulling the quote out into the thread and reading it aside from that is what makes it read differently.

Likewise. Are you actively looking for me for drive by shitposting or is this just coincidence?

Massive disappointment if true and these missions make up a chunk of the content

It's from the strategy guide:
Why would it refer to "this set of missions" and "the campaign" distinctly if they meant the entire campaign was single-player only.

Well, it's a freaking coop game, the minimum would be for the difficulty to scale between 1 and 4 players.

Scans aren't allowed and you're fucking spoiling the game despite removing missions. Lol
Edit: Lol at your edit. The text still reveals what the image was.
While this personally doesn't affect me (I like playing through campaigns solo generally to look around and explore etc) this is a completely baffling design choice. Only thing I can even maybe think of is that the game's narrative/story doesn't work with multiple guardians, but even if that was the case you think they would have been very upfront with that to avoid blowback. Weird.

definitely needs some clarification on this. one of the better things about destiny 1 was playing through all the story missions with friends on being slightly under leveled.
who wants to play the same missions again in co-op? we know from destiny one the missions aren't going to be amazing or difficult. Once you reach max level you have zero reason to go to them.

Its not that big of a deal. I mostly played D1's story solo too, or rather at all times. I like to go at my own pace, find things and watch scenes (though all this was awful in D1, sadly). Co-op is always so hasty and you never see much of a dialogue or cutscene or are talking while stuff happens.
Story missions were a joke, difficulty wise. Play through them on your own and replay them in co-op if you fancy that. I personally saw little use in replaying a story mission if it weren't for cheesing money or bounties. Daily missions are a different matter.

I have friends who are "slower" and wouldn't want to do it solo or would take forever to get it done, if I were there to help them along then it would go a lot smoother and make the time spent more enjoyable as we could discuss things about the story and take the piss out of it. This is a big deal for some people and saying it doesn't matter is absurd just because you aren't personally bothered. This plus the Controller Aim assist on pc has me second guessing.

How is posting in a thread 'looking for you'
Just ease off on the smartass quoting and we're good thanks

I thought of this but the wording in the strategy guide doesn't help anything. It could have said "these few specific single player missions can be replayed later with a fireteam through Ikora" and would have left things a lot less open to interpretation.
Then there's also what IGN said.

Apparently you are not deep enough into Destiny to realize how big a deal this is.
Relatively big spoilers, as a heads up. Let me know if I should delete this spoiler altogether.
It's showing that we regain The Tower as a social space after completing the campaign.
A) I wonder how long it's going to take until someone from Bungie puts everyone trying to use semantics to make this untrue out of their misery.
B) From Vanilla on, the major complaint against Destiny was the "lack" of a story or similar story complaints. I would imagine the justification for this will be a PR line about making the story feel more important or making your individual Guardian more central or that this is the way this story had to be told or something.
C) I personally am not bothered by this change and it makes my decision of how to spend my first hours of the game much easier and because the initial story play through is such a minuscule part of my time with the game. But I understand that many people want to experience the story co-op from the start. The option should be present, because co-op is such an important part of Destiny and this would be an unexpected turn from the previous game.

This time there's an incentive for replaying them as it seemingly allows you to earn reputation for getting specific weapons and armor.
He could just spoiler tag it, but damnnit what a disappointing spoiler that is.
The tower, yaaay? I've seen enough of that place in D1, I didn't need it back in the sequel.
That's dumb as fuck. Games like Tom Clancy's The Division, Borderlands, and Gears of War let you co-op on all content.
This better just be a rumor.

Wait what? One of the strongest points of Destiny 1 was playing the single player for the first time with friends. Hope this is not true..
oh you mean like the area that was never announced to be in D2 except for the farm....or was i suppose to know that I was going to a new or returning social space in D2

It's their way of giving you more "content" by giving you a reason to play through the campaign more than once.

It's a spoiler considering the image displays stuff no one would know about unless they were aware of some of the leaks.,
Yes, that was a short coop "public event" inside your mission, the open world will have similar events, but it's not the same as co-op missions.

A weird choice if true, but it's fine with me since would probably end up playing the story solo at first anyway. Just not sure why they would even go out of their way to make such a seemingly pointless change.
So if you had no problem playing these missions solo, despite them being co-op in D1, wouldnt it make sense to keep D1s structure- people who want to play co-op can, people who want to play solo can.
Why force a solo playthrough?

It sucks a little but the people exclaiming how they can't understand why...well...it might be something as simple as progression unlocks.
I have heard that the story is quite extensive (when compared to Destiny 1)
It might be that they have your abilities and powers on a drip feed that you unlock not by levelling but by progressing through the story
Co op story mode could involve a level one showing up with a fully unlocked guardian and that would spoil the nature of the narrative when yo have a fully powered up guardian smashing their way through levels that the story doesn't support?
All speculation on my part but it would be nice if people weren't panicking so hard

You serious? Lots of people feel this way. You enjoy the game for different reasons, but others, like myself, enjoy playing through games like this for the first time with friends.
Why is this such a difficult concept for some of you to understand. Like, It's really hard to express how irritating some of you are acting without getting banned.
I hope so, that would be way more interesting then.
Because if the campaign functions as a way to introduce the player to basic features then having players with mismatched story progression would lead to asynchronous co-op.

Reminds me of that 2008 Conan MMO where you had to play single player content to move forward. It seems like it misses the point of the whole game?

I think the point others are making is that in a game like Destiny, "playing through" the game doesn't just mean playing the story. That's a tiny portion of what many would consider a full playthrough, i.e. getting max level, earning a variety of gear as you increase light to complete content up to and including the raid, etc.
