Beta timeing (Destiny)

Bungie has given a release frame of "Summer 2014" for the Destiny beta. This year, summer begins on June 21 and ends on September 22.

Bungie has also given Destiny's release date of September 9.

Historically, we've never been so lucky as to get the beta on the first day it could possibly be available. And in fact, it would be extremely possible for the beta would be pushed back to Fall if that weren't impossible with a September 9 full release date. The beta would also probably take at least a couple of weeks to run its course. And even if you did a BF4-style "beta" and release the game a week after it ended, you'd need a week of padding after that.

So, realistically, the beta launch window is July 7 - August 19. ...

Your extrapolation of the possible beta date is interesting. I say this in part because I'm expecting some sort of announcement of Destiny "Going gold" in July at the earliest. Two months to print sounds about right for something with Destines projected scope, and you don't make a Bajillion copies over night - not to mention the whole shipping thing. So I unless the beta is only to expose balancing of both game play and the network at large (and advertising), that would mean if any glitches are found they would be patched off disk.... *!*... I just interrupted my thought for a new one.

Can Destiny be played offline? O_o
