Public Event scaling (Destiny)

I don't see Destiny as being about stacking 100, or 50, or even 25 people (visible to you) in a single area. I think they're more shooting for a feeling of adventure and danger you get from being alone with your fire team combined with the idea that other teams are out there and you'll occasionally cross paths.

For public events I'd think the number of people would be capped around 20 given that multiplayer in Halo could go up to 16. But then, we've seen one public event. What if it was a tiny one, and big ones involve vehicle battles, and tons of enemies. Maybe the player count can go a lot higher than I expect.

It would also not be surprising at all if competitive allowed a considerable amount of extra players than cooperative.
