I wouldn't be surprised at all if this happen, heck I would even jump on board. Activision could milk more money out of Call of Duty with Destiny/Bungie attached to the next installment. Hopefully this won't happen, but we'll see what the money making masterminds have to announce in the coming months.

Scale is almost always what you're after in a Beta test. The easiest way to do that is to just let everyone have at it.

Like Reach Beta.

I certainly wouldn't put it past them to make such a bold move. Destiny could be Activision's biggest success since the yearly installments of Call of Duty began a few years ago. A marriage of the two with the inclusion of a beta in any upcoming CoD would be smart.

Not saying that I really approve of the idea, that marketing tagline on the pre-order posters really urk'ed me. However, any chance Bungie and Activision can take to get the idea of this game into gamer's heads is something I like.

It would sure make me buy the game only for that.

Which is the sad thing.

I really hope Bungie has some control over it, but really, is that such a bad idea? Personally, there's no way in hell I'd buy the CoD game just for a Destiny Beta. But then, I also would trust that Bungie would give many other ways to get in, sort of like with H3. But the exposure to the game could be fantastic. It seems like the entire galaxy picks up every new CoD game like people pick up the same re-hashed Madden games every year. Imagine introducing them to a large and new fantastic world and possibly getting all of them on board. If Bungie actually succeeds in making something fantastic and amazing for all, getting the CoD crowd in could be a goldmine of sales and users.
