Theater (Destiny)

Destiny's coop is smooth as butter on my connection compared to Halo 3, and I have a suspicion that it's because stuff that does not affect outcomes is being allowed to go out of sync; but this might mean that things that don't affect progression don't have precise values, which may mean that the complete predictability that films rely on no longer exists.

Either that, or Bungie built Destiny from the ground up optimized with online co-op in mind, rather than adding it to an existing code base.

Still, even if you are correct, wouldn't that just result in films slightly different for each player on your fireteam? Surely what you see on your screen, with the values your game is receiving would be unaffected.
