Did you forget what the B stands for?

It's a question of what the online requirement is for. If coop is optional and not mandatory-- as it is in both of these games-- what is the requirement for?

From the way Pete Parsons talked about it in the interview in Edge magazine, it's not optional; you'll be playing in a co-operative environment whether or not you want to, and other players will join your game from time to time and share the same play landscape.

One thing that this makes me wonder about is how you go about tackling the game at your own pace; I would regularly pause a game of Halo campaign for before coming back to it — it always bugged me that you couldn't pause a firefight game, and if the world is persistent and can involve other players then I have to imagine there's going to be no facility for pausing in Destiny, either.
