A different New Zealand outlet, nzgamer.com, interviewed Chris Butcher about Destiny and posted the transcript of the interview. There are a few tidbits to glean from it, but nothing too big.

So [competitive multiplayer] was a part of Destiny right from day one. We’ll be delivering more details later on, but you will be able to take all of your character experience and customisation, costumes, etc right across to the competitive side of the game. And like the coop, it’s all completely balanced to make sure its fair and enjoyable.

well it's good to know it was part of the design from the beginning at least; it's too bad we won't know anything about how it's balanced for at least a few months

Yeah, it's proving very hard not to read things in Butcher's voice, haha.

Nice quote! And cheers for the link!

I wonder if we'll see some matchups involving a fireteam of high level guardians facing down a couple low level fireteams.

Oh let the space magic fly.
