Destiny is played in 3 person groups in every mode, including competitive multiplayer

It is so much easier to get 3 people together to play a game than it is to get 4 people together. They probably want a core of 3 people to have an amazing experience together, to have a mutual understanding and story to share.
The more people you add into the equation, the more fragmented the experience becomes.

What if i have 3 friends i want to play with?
I get that 3 is good core for Destiny, but making the limit absolute...
Yeah. 3v3 isn't really my type of game. I don't really like 3v3v3 either, honestly. My hype levels are plummeting because I was really looking forward to the competitive side of it.
Well, shit.

I took it to mean multi-squad PvP. I do like the idea of constantly having a companion who specializes in some areas my character is weak in.
OT: Do we know yet how far gun customization goes? Like, part swapping and whatnot? No crafting element turns me off, like Borderlands.

I know I've said this in other threads before, but whatever.
Still waiting on the splitscreen options announcement. Come on Bungie, you have always had great options for multiplayer/co-op, don't disappoint now. Will become a legit GOTY candidate for me if a friend could actually sign in to his profile and we could play through the game side by side.

I like the sounds of this.
There's a lot of overreaction in this thread from a limited scope of information about exactly how many people are on a team vs. squad size... But this just confused me.
It says a maximum of 3 people to a 'squad'. That means you could play alone all the time, and then have just one other person jump in with you. Not a mandatory 3 people.

Wher does it say 3 is the absolute...considering the e3 gameplay shows more then 3 people at the end...

You can still play alone if you want to. It's not a minimum of three people.

Man, I'm glad that I only have two friends who are into shooters. If I had a fourth that wanted to join for campaign, this would be a real bummer.

I'm sure this is some sort of misunderstanding no way we can't be able to play the campaign with only 2 players. That just sounds dumb on bungie's part.

3v3 is fine by me.

Looked at OPs link but saw some comments saying wait until Bungie responds. Is this completely confirmed or are we all waiting for Bungie to make a public announcement?
There are several modes featuring more players that we've already talked about. Raids are a six player activity that will always be in parties comprised of your friends. Competitive multiplayer is not capped at 3v3.
It's great the developer feels a certain way, but that doesn't mean everyone else has to.

Phew, good thing I was born a triplet! Realistically that's the only way this game can be played apparently.
Exactly.
COD4's Team Tactical - 3vs3 - was the pinnacle of the COD multiplayer. I had 2 best friends and 3 of us Prestiged twice (20 prestiges on different profiles) only by playing TT.
I see no single problem with this design. Once MW2 went to 4vs4, it was meh.
I will personally support 3-player team forever purely because of coherency and reasons you've outlined.

They aren't going to say yeah its a limitation of the last gen consoles sorry early next gen adopters.
Or use it to inform people of the truth.

I wouldn't expect 4 player splitscreen, but perhaps 2 players at once. (System limits, old gen are extremely limited hardware-wise, new gen probably use a lot of power for graphics)
I'm not hyped for Destiny but if it does have 2 player splitscreen, i'm willing to tolerate a lot of shit (though not as much as Reach had, it is the only game i've played that didn't become better in splitscreen mode, ever).

I guarantee it
least the suits will be cheaper
Destiny doesn't have split screen it was said a while back. It's not happening. Sorry.
What, where?
If really true, that means there is nothing for me to look forward this year, at the moment anyway.

Does Bungie not have a community manager on gaf? Frankie was great with previous Halo releases but he's a rare kind of fella.

Considering the game mechanics make it look like combat between people lasts longer then the two second shit that you get in CoD and TitanFall pilots, I'm completely fine with this. I would much rather engage a small group for a serious length of time, and it makes the combat unique within the genre. We already have enough instant kill, throw more bodies in, instant respawn nonsense shooters.
not to mention that co-op campaign is going to be fun... but of course, once we have co-op, then nobody mentions it... if there was no co-op, then everyone would rage.
these days it seems like people just want to complain about something and goals are moving constantly.
urk posted just a few above yours. Wouldn't surprise me if DeeJ was somewhere on here.
He's on this very page, getting ignored repeatedly.

Oh damn. Forgot all about Urk! Used to follow his posts during previous Halo launch periods and trailer threads.
That appears to be the case... What a massive disappointment.
