Ever had a really bad Halo Co-Op connection? (Gaming)

Well, then perhaps I have been misinterpreted. I never "expected" a theater mode to be included in Destiny and it's no big deal (to me) that it isn't there. But I am confounded as to why Bungie chose not to include it since it fits the concept of the game so well.

That's one of the main reasons why. It's super extremely hard to have deterministic synchronized gameplay with a bunch of AI and co-op players. They've taken their co-op and made it ingrained in the game and even more complicated with massive seamless (I've seen the seams a few times) areas and automatic drop in/out co-op.

So the technical challenge to including theatre mode just became an order of magnitude harder than before. And Bungie was already operating at almost twice their previous size trying to pull off what they are pulling off with Destiny.

So I'm not confounded or confused one bit why they "chose" not to include it.
