Public Event scaling (Destiny)

I don't see Destiny as being about stacking 100, or 50, or even 25 people (visible to you) in a single area. I think they're more shooting for a feeling of adventure and danger you get from being alone with your fire team combined with the idea that other teams are out there and you'll occasionally cross paths.

^ This.

My interpretation is very much along these lines. Right now in Halo, there may be several thousand people in a particular Matchmaking hopper but only 8-16 people are ever playing the same game. I imagine Destiny will do similar matchmaking; as long as you're in the same physical location, you have a chance to be matched with some small subset of the population. Quality of connection and preferred style of play may be elements that are taken into account, and we'll always be matched with our fireteam.
