This picture looks interesting. Return of space combat?
Oh man I hope so we NEED more space combat in games.

I think it's definitely possible that the space level in Reach was Bungie's sly way of beta-testing their ability to make good space levels.

When you look at the concept art you can speculate a few things:

1. Player customisation, wide variety of helmets & armour
2. Teams/Factions (red vs. blue in one pic and also a red cape guy with emblem or leader ensignia)
3. FPS weapons, long range, handgun, assault style
4. Vehicles such as mammoth style, tank style, spaceship style
5. Shields on the space ship so technology is paramount suggesting Sci-Fi obviously
6. Play spaces scale and LOD mechanics
7. Player abilities e.g. blue bubble shield thing
8. Ships have emblems as well, most likely faction/team based.
9. Tank image has a Destiny logo on the shoulder...alien enemies???
10. Possible squad or orders based game mechanics, the solider finger pointing suggests these actions.
11. Male and Female characters.

Anyone else spot something interesting?

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

Looks interesting, definitely a world where an MMO could take place.

I'll wait for a trailer.

Not gonna lie, I might have jumped out of my chair when I saw that on IGN. "Bungie's New Game Is Destiny" *chills all over*

All I gotta say from those pictures is, Bungie never dissapoints, I thought my body was ready, but it's not... :X


This looks amazing!

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Am I the only one that likes the idea of a futuristic society that is at a point where there's a "Last City" and yet has not receded in technology? Like they can still manage all these technological feats but there's just the one city?

IDK, I just kind of like it. Like they've got all the right tools but can't put it together. I could be reading too much into it but it could be a nice thematic message if they continue it throughout the game.

From looking at the pictures and the plot, I think that aliens or other advanced civilizations (for whatever reason) like going after Humanity and the sphere is protecting Humanities last stronghold.

I am guessing that outside of the sphere's "protection", it is very hostile to live anywhere.

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

The popular theory is that these are the factions in destiny.

Here we go again. Gotta say the screenshot Bungie has on the front page has me the most excited.

  • 11.27.2012 5:30 PM PDT

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

It looks ******* great. Also, Geoff (Host of VGA/Important part of them) just tweeted 'Well, that just happened', and Bungie just said that... Was I right and Destiny is going to be at the VGAs? :D

I am now excited to see the VGAs and the 'surprise' that Geoff was talking about.

The premise sounds really...... wholesome. Sounds like a really interesting city.

Earth. One last city. A mysterious protector. A threat.

Forever ago Bungie trademarked and registered domains for several names.

Later, we saw Bungie Employees with t-shirts that had the Destiny Symbol on them and also symbols which we could match to the names. A wing with a 7 in it for Seven Seraphs, an eye for Osiris, a orbit with a skull in it for Dead Orbit, ect.

We assumed they were factions, and that prediction as so far held up. On Bungie Day, they sold us shirts with the symbols on them and gave us avatars and themes with the symbols on them, as if they wanted us to represent our factions.

Yeah.

Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

This may be just me, but in thispicture, it seems like the soldier has the actual destiny symbol on his shoulder.
