Design choice, not technical limitation (Destiny)

Also, I'm a little disappointed in seeing 3v3 playlists. Shouldn't the dedicated servers easily accommodate more than six players on a multiplayer map?

Pretty sure it's peer hosted. Don't know where people are getting the idea there are dedicated servers.

I guess I assumed is was server based because that's how the tower and explore mode seem to operate, since people come and go as they lease with no noticeable affect on other players.

Why are they pushing toward three and six member teams rather than four and eight?

Design choice.

So, I guess the additional player(s) would make the game too chaotic and dis-likable. I can't see how a 3v3 gametype could be more fun than a 4v4 gametype, the more the merrier, right? Or perhaps it's just an excuse to avoid building large play areas that can accommodate larger teams.
