I don't post much on the Bungie forums anymore, but was looking through recent Bungie Trademarks and "Pathways Into Darkness" (you know, that game they released in 93?) was filed as a trademark under Bungie on 4/1/2011. Could just be an April fools joke hence the date to steer us into the wrong direction, but well.... check it out:

Bungie's next game could be related to that universe or part of it like Marathon.

There's no way Nate Hawbaker's favorite hero is Alan Stuart


ALAN IS A BEAUTIFUL MAN!

I really hope this isn't a literal 365 days thing. Just in 2012.

Also, this my favorite part of "guessing the game".


Shall we begin?

Aight. Someone seriously needs to whip out a star chart because the three dots on the left side look like Orion's belt (though not present with the entirety of Orion shown), and I want to know if I'm correct.

Also, I'm going to go ahead and guessss... July 28, 2012. Why? I have a rationale. We start with seven. Bungie's "thing" is seven. We all know that. Now, Bungie will be starting a new era. Their fourth new era, in my opinion. The first is pre-marathon. Little to no exposure; at the end somewhat focusing on Myth, but generally hopping around and not quite committing to one franchise. Then, marathon. Exposure begins to rise. Bungie can establish connections and a fanbase begins to grow. The, halo. Bungie hits the maintage and their popularity is higher than it ever was before.

Now, Destiny. Possibly another 10-11 year legacy judging by the contract they have with Activision. This fourth Era should be exemplified by the announcement being on the 28th of a month (particularly the seventh month), given it's 7 * 28.

There. There it is. Also, if I'm right, quick heads up, I'm going to be a pompous ass for about a week. Just saying.

It has to be somewhere in the east since the project name of "destiny" was "tiger" first. And you can see bungie staff with t-shirts of different factions in the game that contain hebrew text. for example the letter Zayin which is also the number 7

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

This is interesting, I could really use some pfhiggy pudding about right now.

Oh well.

It appears Bungie is wanting us to find out where this is in the stars.

I'm game.
You're right. It's a puzzle. A puzzle that gives us clue about their next new game.

I wonder who will decipher this puzzle... Hmm..

I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

Does anyone know if Bungie will tell us when all of the One of Seven tickets have been taken? I have only found two ticket 100% confirmations so far plus another claimant (but with no pic) in the forums. They got them with their Bags O' Swag during the Anniversary festivities. That leaves possibly four or five tickets still up for grabs. For whatever reason, all of the threads on this topic have been closed.

I'm 100% sure that I've got IT RIGHT



Yawn. You do know that nearly every planet has moons right? And that they all have gravity and magnetic fields, which mean that a compass works on any of them. Right?

Did Halo take place on Earth? It must have, because the HUD had a compass!

Any new info also gets posted in a separate article on the front page, you're better off bookmarking that if you want to keep checking for new stuff.

I've been saving up for a decent update, I'll try to get it written in the next day or two. (Although I don't think there's much to be gleaned from this Happy Holidays message.)

I wish the newer updates would be on top instead of the bottom ...

Heh.

What happens on HaloGAF stays on HaloGAF. Unless Louis Wu makes an HBO story of it...

I'm just glad to finally see something from Bungie on the front page. It's been a while, and I'm excited to see what next year has in store for Bungie.

  • 12.19.2011 9:15 PM PDT

The tide is turning, brothers! Let us take our kingdom back!

Damnit, Bungie, you've got my mind running again. I can't handle these things...
