Destiny’s been looking for a way to sustain it’s community of online gamers, and they’ve been struggling. This new update set to roll out February 9th, will introduce a series of checkpoints that ensure players can’t tinker with their online connectivity levels to gain an edge on their game. Yes, yes, the glitch bitches of the universe are in for a rude awakening. I kind of wish that Bungie was introducing their new check ‘n balance system in the form of a literal red-faced, fat-assed, whistle-munching, digital referee; but hey this’ll do the trick. The community of readers over at Engadget seem to be taking the news very appreciatively.
The February update from Bungie will also get rid of the special ammo available in Destiny. Bungie will instead require players in the throes of 3v3 combat to make a dash for a special crate filled with ammo, before they can spew rounds of hellfire on one another in the maddening pursuit for ultimate victory.
