Subject: Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen! Destiny:

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

Here's your chance to prove how good you're at predicting what Destiny will feature.

Chances are Desitiny will make an appearence att the VGA, or some time in the near future. Let's bet on what we think will be in the game! Story, gameplay, features, but nothing we can take for granted; not the obvious stuff of course, such as if it's a shooter or if it will contain the colour red, but the more significant/specific things. Don't play dumb, you know what I mean! :P

Now, how will we see who gets the most bragging rights?

Let's do like this: You all get 10 points, distribute them as you see fit, but no decimals. Max 10 different bets, minimum 1, and everything in between.

Then, when the game and its features are revealed, we'll strip those who were wrong off their points, and award them to those who got it right! The more points you got right, the more you'll be rewarded.

It's a risk/reward situation, bet everything on one and you won't lose any points, but you'll only gain one.

Anyone up for it?

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

I put all 10 of my points on Destiny having a NPC named "Foman" who is heroic, tough, and saves you from dying on numerous occasions.

I am confident that Bungie appreciates all of my contributions to the community so much that this is what they're spending most of their time implementing.

I place all of my ten points on the same NPC named Foman killing you lots after he saves you.

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

I bet Foman will be that AI that drives you off the road or shoots you with a rocket.

Minigame idea:
Foman Wright: Ace AttourneyAnyone who gets a matchmaking ban has an option to opt out of it by playing an extremely difficult minigame that follows actual court proceedings and if you mess up one thing you get an extra 2 days of ban.

Minigame idea:
Crabbin' with QbeeIf Mr. Weebl has taught me anything, it's that there is almost nothing but crabs in Norway. In this minigame, you collect crabs, which can be sold for one Bungie Bucks per crab. But the instructions are entirely in Norwegian so you will most likely not know how to play.

Minigame idea:
Dmb or Dmg?In this game, you are shown posts both from dmbfan09 and dmg04 and you have to pick which one belongs to whom. If you get 15 right in a row you get 5 free Bungie Bucks.

OT: 10 points on there being crazy people in the game who think The Traveler is a dragon's egg and that on December 21 2721, it will hatch and destroy the world.

2 on: points on that Destiny will feature a gameplay element that will allow the player to act in-game/create machinima on the fly.

3 on: Halo had its "30 seconds of fun", and Destiny will work with the same kind of mentality, but altered to fit the new levels and gameplay mechanics. Intricatly juggling between mechaninics, forcing--or allowing--the player to experience the entire palette of possible ways of interacting, within the games pacing cycle. If I can do something here, I should be able to do the exact same thing over there, like driving a Mongoose in a space station.

3 on: The next level of dynamicity; how seamless everything is. No jagged edges everywhere; loading times, menus, difference/restriction in gameplay depending on where one is, etc. At its core I want it too be as dynamic and interactive as a multiplayer level in Halo 3 (objcets effect, entrance into vehicles is smooth, all weapons and projectiles affect eachother, etc. Look at Halo Mythbusters and you'll get what I mean). EDIT: A robust ecosystem of mechanics that is manifested more physically than numerically.

(The latter two were taken from an old comments of mine).

2 on: The projectiles will actually come from the gun and not like from somewhere i the middle of the players box. Like Oni, not Halo.

Take a step back with me and enjoy a taste of the bittersweet that is our current generation.

I enjoy Battlefield and Call of Duty, and Gears of War.

I love anything political.

All 10 that the game will feature grass somewhere in the terrain.

I wager all my 10 points, the entire assets of BUNGiE inc. (including all of its employees) and Foman's mom on the hypothesis that Bungie will not announce anything at the VGAs.
