I noticed the Bungie interviewees didn't use Shared World Shooter very often, I think they REALLY wanted to focus how it is a great action packed FPS.

Yeah, for this particular reveal you're probably right. I, however, think "shared world shooter" is a perfectly fine way to describe the genre (I think) they're trying to create.

I bristled when the interviewer casually said "other MMOs." If I were Butcher I might not have been able to resist correcting him on that point, but then again, being too defensive about it might be bad, too.

EDIT: I'm also a little bugged by the venturebeat article that insists on judging it as a MMO.
