The Stig is dead to me
-Carrick

As we all know the Codename for Bungies new IP is "Destiny" which raises to me te question. Why Destiny? How do companies come up with the codenames for their work?

Also, If you were designing a game, what codename would you give it and why?

Mine would be Project "Thor" because I love Norse Mythology and my game would be, much like Thor, Badass.

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

Halo was monkeynuts.

Actually the codename of "Destiny" that they referred to in the contract was "Tiger".

I think the name of the game will be "Destiny" just because how many times they referred to it in the contract. But "Tiger" could just be a codename for "Destiny" which could be the codename for what they are working on. So, who knows.

Yeah, I was assuming that "Destiny" is the real name for the game, although I don't believe that can be proven.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

And since there is no clrrelation between codename and the game, they can use anything as a codename for all we know.

I lol'd. You win this thread.

More on topic: Destiny was codenamed Tiger before it was codenamed Destiny. So I think Destiny a more permanent thing..

If I were Bungie I'd codename it "Halo" and watch the chaos ensue.
