Waiting for Destiny - Everything we know about Bungie's next game.

Nothing new in terms of huge revelations, just collecting stuff so far.

Let me know if I missed anything, I still haven't had a chance to check all of the recent BWUs for relevant info.

For now, I'm going to bed in a few minutes; this kept me up far too late.

Aerospace was less than expected, but I am happy to see what they are doing as a company.

Edit: Love the Destiny article Duncan. Very enlightening! Didn't catch that on ODST!!!

Brilliantly done. I love this kind of stuff and exactly why I keep coming back to Bungie.

I got a mention! Awesome. Very informative. What's the speculation on these shirts? Factions for the player to join?

My hopes are for it being released before Halo CEA but my brain says that it will be released on the day that CEA will be released. Only around 4 months so it's bareble

BTW, did you guys know that you can jump through the window in the gravity hammer room on Powerhouse? I just saw a guy do it 2 days ago and my mind was blown. I died so many times from nades when I sat there while I was one no-shields.

My stats, not yours. My K/D when I played with you was 0.79 over 11 games. (If I remember correctly, most or all of these were in the Defiant playlist - where my overall K/D is 1.20 over 84 games.)

Basically, when I'm in a party with you, I'm playing about half as well as I do when I'm NOT in a party with you. :)

Dammit. I got offline (completely offline) just before before you wrote this. :( Sorry.

What is everyone's opinion on "Rebirth" in the Team Slayer playlist? I played it for the first time yesterday.

EDIT: Frankie, can you make sure Halo 4 has tele-fraging like in Halo CE and Halo 2?

Decent map, it would play better if there was no Jetpack in the loadouts. Spawns in Reach are somehow worse than they were in H3, so that's always a problem with smaller maps like this. Only played it a couple of times when testing it, so there's that to consider. What did you think of it?

Rebirth sucks. Too many power weapons, too broken with jetpacks.

Plus, it's got this very unpleasant exploit.

It's getting pulled from Doubles and Arena next week.

Jetpack breaks it, and it wants to be the Pit, but the sides are too small, and all this leads to is players trading fire from their own side of the wall, whereas in the Pit you could move into the enemy side a bit.

While we're on custom maps... Think Twice is SO SO SO bad. I don't get its design at all it doesn't play fun at all. Affinity is terrible too. No sense of orientation and far too much gray.

Select could be fixed. Just needs a slab of cover or something on that main bridge. The map works great in doubles, but in 4 v 4 there was simply way too many DMR's in too open of a space. Right now its probably the best community 4 v 4 map.

Very well done, and hit everything I could think of. A few times I thought you missed something, and then I scrolled down...nope, got it. Succinct and comprehensive.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!

I figured we're going to be getting more and more clues in the next few months, so it would be handy to have a place to get the overall picture.

Is it sad that after ~7 hours of collecting info and typing it up, the thing I'm most proud of is how sharp that banner looks? :p

Life lesson #1: You should never pull yourself away from Game of Thrones. For any reason. At all.

Like ODIN, I just started the second book (what will be the second season of the TV show as well) today. Part of me wanted to wait for the new season of the show, but I can't wait. Just can't do it.

As just general advice, I cannot recommend the show enough. SO. DAMN. GOOD.

That's a good lesson. Wait 'till you get to book 3, though. Then we'll talk. :lol

Just ordered book 5, myself. Is it July 12 yet?

I started reading them about 3 eps into the actual series and am on A feast for Crows, they are awesome books.

Well done to Duncan, I don't normally read pieces like that on games that haven't said very much but your piece is very good and yes, you can be proud of your banner!

1. I don't want to derail this topic, but to someone who hasn't touched anything in Game of Thrones. What makes it so special?

2. lmao at the Throwing Fireballs challenge. People are just selected nerfle loadouts or picking elite slayer and only using left trigger. smh.

And I still won both rumble pit games I went in :p

Really well written is the key factor. Fascinating characters and power-plays, gritty, cut-throat, doesn't shy away from anything, lots of bad things happen to both good and bad people. Watch this 2 minute promo.

Game of Thrones is worth it, whether you read the books or watch the TV series. Well written etc

I probably can't argue with you Tashi :p

I'm convinced that all of these shirts Bungie employees keep wearing are indeed some clothing ARG.... Or it could easily turn into one.

Here is an idea:

The destiny symbol, ship it to friends across the country, the symbol has some sort of code on it, the community has to work together to find out what it means. Only for it to end up being a couple set of coordinates. Thant link to locations across the USA. At those coordinates are buried air tight boxes, and inside them, a couple copies of an exclusive Beta/Alpha for the game.

Step off Juices, Hire Starwolf.

Thats an awesome read, thanks for putting that together. God, I cant wait for the eventual reveal.

Also, I hope we start getting small cryptic hints into the Halo 4 universe soon, so we can have plenty of time to build hype. I found the lack of an arg and cryptic details for Reach underwhelming. It just wasn't the same.

is there a halogaf tag? it'd be a lot easier than going through all your profiles and adding everyone. I'm not opposed to it but I figure I'd ask.
