Read Bungie’s Weekly Update below, or check out the full version on Bnet. [divider] This week at Bungie, we went on the offensive in the bug war. A wise man once said: “Is this gonna be a standup fight, Sir, or another bug hunt?” –Pvt. Hudson, Colonial Marine Core (Deceased) Sometimes those are the same thing. That’s the case in our studio right now. We’ve cleared every available table, and set up arrays of gaming stations for some aggressive maneuvers against the creepy crawlies in our code. As we prepare for the milestones that submit you to the trials, we’re

The Inhabitants of Destiny

So here we are then, having arrived at the fifth and final stop on my brief tour of some of Destiny’s most integral tenets. So far, I’ve taken a look at the personalization elements of the game, the armaments that you’ll have at hand, the lore of the game and the universe itself, whilst here I’ll be concluding my series of previews with a look towards those who will populate the sulfuric marshes, incredible cities and frozen glaciers of Destiny. From the aliens of the Hive to the Guardians of The City and everything in between, let us once more

So it’s highly intricate? :3 … :c Okay..) [divider] Old News Before we get into the wonderful world of ‘what if’s’ n such, lets take a gander at what we know thus far. The Tower is located within the walls of the last safe city on Earth. It is a third person

The Universe of Destiny

For all of the collating and colonization during an unprecedented time spent amongst the stars, The Collapse has halted humanities rapid ascent dead in its tracks. The Golden Age has ended, and the daunting fear of the unknown has returned. This is the basic pretence for Destiny, and the reason as to why our position in the universe is as fragile as it ever has been.

I get to remove the lids from our cauldrons and pass them a spoon. In truth, what I really do is sit them down in front of a dev kit and drop a controller into their hands, but you get the idea. Destiny gets a little more delicious every week. With so many cooks stirring the brew, you would expect the aroma to get a little
