With all due respect OP and this is not focused on you but i'll make use of your thread to try and explain some things. Destiny was announced 3 months ago and there's still a lot of people asking for an offline mode... my "problem" are not the threads people make but the reason why people don't understand what an ONLINE GAME means! Sure, i know you want a offline mode because you're used to play HALO single player campaign. That's fine and i understand... but Bungie wants to make an[b] online only game[/b] so there's nothing we can do about it. So i'm sorry if you can't enjoy the game because you and others don't have an internet connection, but the same happens to others with other games like MMO's. This is an ONLINE GAME that was designed to require an internet connection to play it since day ONE, just like Star Wars: The Old Republic, World Of Warcraft, Defiance, etc. It's a [b]persistent online world[/b] where all sort of things happen even when you're not logged in. Basically, it's a living breathing world! Anyone who played MMO's before understands the concept and when done well it's amazing to play. So having a offline mode in this game would not work, because the game isn't designed to work like single player games. So no [b]the game can't be played offline[/b] because the AI, path-finding, matchmaking, all the activities in-game and all sorts of other stuff are done/processed on the server side. People will be playing Destiny on a CLIENT that basically the only thing it does is render the game and send/receive information to/from the server. I'll repeat, the game [b]doesn't have an offline mode[/b] like HALO. Still i hope you'll be able to play the game, because if Bungie manages to design great worlds, gameplay and create a good story... you're in for a treat!
