Raid size (Destiny)
Anyone else notice the number six being thrown around as the size for a raid with this latest round of news? I wonder if that's going to be the standard size or whether it will be variable.
In my mind I was imagining something like 12-15 players for a "raid", but I can see how that could be chaotic, plus you've got the added difficulty of gathering that many people together at once.
However, my creativity really starts churning when you think about the kinds of encounters you could design with 15 players in mind...
They've also got networking to consider. If Destiny really is using peer-to-peer, 15 players with the appropriate amount of enemies would cause the game to, in a best case scenario, be a bit like playing Halo 3 BTB on the far side of the moon.
Yeah, good point. BTB in Halo 2 was a blast if you could get one where the lag was manageable, but plenty just ended up being a frustrating mess.
