Class

In addition to choosing to play as one of several species, Destiny players will be able to choose from different player classes. Though it is unknown how many player classes will exist at launch, three classes have been confirmed so far:


 * Hunter
 * Titan
 * Warlock

A fourth class, Vanguard, was briefly mentioned in IGN's write-up of the Reveal Press Conference. No other known article about the press conference mentioned the Vanguard class, giving rise to speculation that this was an error by the IGN reporter who covered the story. It is unconfirmed by Bungie whether this is an actual class, and Bungie has not commented either way.

Differences between Classes
The Hunter, Titan and Warlock classes will have different abilities, and specialties:


 * "The Hunters are the reconnaissance masters of the Last City, who seek, find and destroy those who want to    end Humankind's seed."


 * "The Titans are the powerful mechanistic soldiers of the Last City, equipped with powerful weapons and           indomitable advanced mech-like suits of fiercely devastating power."


 * "The Warlocks wield the power of spells to complement their weapons and to overpower their enemies."
