Subject: Planet on the B-Day picture

Am I supposed to write something funny here?

So you all have probably seen the picture of a planet on the front page. Furthermore it's rather obvious that it's not Earth, and it doesn't look like Reach either (And Bungie doesn't do Halo stuff anymore). So a logical conclusion, atleast to me, is that it's (one of) the planet(s?) Destiny takes place on.

Now, if it indeed is related to Destiny, does the map fit into it? Of course it rather hard, probably impossible to tell from the raw picture, so perhaps it could be cleared it up a bit?

Or we can just try to eyeball it or discuss the picture...

Cleared up a bit? How? There's a bunch of clouds in the way.

Why can't it be Earth again? It could be them just showing their world domination.

This thread would have appealed to me more if it was written with crayons.

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

Yeah I thought it was earth, looks kinda like North America at the top. Its so dark and cloudy though it could be any earth like planet.

We already have a picture with septagon and earth, and it's very recognisable in it. And if the planet on the frontpage were Earth, why would it be obscured like that?

EDIT: Those who say it's Earth, tell me what part of it is visible in that picture?

At first I thought this thread was crazy, but the more I look at it, the more I think you might be on to something.

The background is the Destiny nebula, and the landmass doesn't look earthly at all. Anyone have a shot of that planet in Bungie Studios from a few weeks ago?

It's funny that picture of the frontpage is the only one not made for desktop wallpaper. I wonder why...

The picture Gamer Whale just linked also has the Destiny nebula in the background and that is Earth. Just becasue there are clouds in the way doesn't mean you can say its not Earth.

He wanted to know what parts of the Earth were visible, I simply obliged :)

Bye.

What do you notice about these two images?
Image 1
Image 2
There's a septagon in both images. Clearly that's where Destiny takes place

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

The Black Chapter!

Far, far, FAR too much speculation going on here (in this forum). Y'all need to chillax a bit. When they tell us, we'll know, until then we just have to accept that we don't know, and no amount of photoshop is going to change that.

So any planet with an ocean and a land mass in front of the Destiny nebula is Earth because we have 1 picture of Earth in front of a Destiny nebula?

The picture with Earth was clearly Earth. We could see the East Coast of NA. This picture is hiding something, it's not just the lighting effect around the septagon.

I don't what those septagons have to do with the fact that we have a picture of a planet that doesn't look like it's Earth. Of course it is possible that the planet was creatd just for this picture, but wouldn't it be funnier to grab an existing picture and add shadows?

I don't think I made myself very clear. I was implying the game takes place on a septagon.

Sorry about that then.

There is other evidence that it is Earth. Take this image from ODST. It is clearly Africa depicted.

  • 07.10.2012 9:54 AM PDT

So we can't prove that it is Earth. But that doesn't mean the possibility is automatically ruled out. You can't prove that it's not Earth. You're just jumping towards a conclusion without any solid evidence. You claim that the land mass does not match any of Earth's, but how can you even see what shape the landmass is? It's just one small, blurry area, while the rest of the planet is covered in darkness or clouds. And did you take into consideration that if it is Earth, we might not be viewing it from the traditional North-side-up perspective?

I don't mean to sound rude. I'm usually all for speculation. But in this case, I don't think there is anything to speculate about.
