'Destiny' and 'Be Brave' trademarks officially in Bungie's hands

@Prboi

Yeah with a jockstrap undies logo I sure hope it is big. Maybe they'll be 'reaching' out to the female crowd. Probably just another amazing shooter though.

@Red Deer

The only thing is, Activision signed a contract on what Bungie wanted exactly how they wanted it. So if Activision holds even a penny from them, they are in breach of contract & Bungie still owns the rights to the game & can find a new publisher to work with.

@Red Deer

Keep in mind, the stated Bungie goal of world domination.

As a dedicated Bungie fan since Pathways into Darkness, I lamented Bungie's sale to microsoft no end. Turns out Bungie got a huge boost in popularity and managed to get out from under microsoft. I'm sure Bungie's "deal with the devil" this time was even more favorable based on the huge success of Halo. Basically, Bungie is using these giant corporations a stepping-stones on their path towards world domination. So far, so good...

@MusiM

For a moment, I thought you said a "turned based JPG." I've been doing too much design work lately lol

@A Sandwich I'd buy that day one!

@A Sandwich I C wat U did thar.

@A Sandwich

so this is going to be like a Red Dead Bungie game? hell yeah, sounds dope. man, glad you got that inside scoop for everyone.GOTY

@Pure Black World Tendency That's what I was thinking.

@(Unverified) Legitimate, non-accusing question: what did you find lacking about Reach? It's always seemed like it was missing something, but I've poured more time into that game (especially Firefight) than any other one in the series.

@Once known as Shadsy
I would be happy too. The story is hands-down awful. There is no explanation for how the covenant got to reach, or where the materials came from for the towers. They mention orbital weapon platforms, but there aren't any in the space scenes and never take part in the battle after they kill that one frigate.

The multiplayer isn't fun for me. They added loaouts, but the loadouts can't affect player properties to make true classes. The armor abilities are interesting, but an on demand invulnerability is an awful idea. The sniper, which was the best weapon since Halo 1, was improved, not scaled back, with anti-vehicle properties. Same with the shotgun; it got better range.

The shield pop mechanic is inconsistent. Some weapons (the weaker ones) don't pierce shields, but grenades and all kinds of other weapons do. There isn't a particular rhyme or reason to it.

Speaking of vehicles, the limited HP on them really takes them out of the equation.

The human weapons are still better than the covenant versions, especially in terms of the Focus Rifle and the Repeater. This comes into significant play in matches like Invasion, or Invasion Slayer.

Firefight is fun. I play that the most as well. But for some reason, it isn't as satisfying as Gears 2 Horde. I don't have a specific reason for that. Either way, with all the weird stuff added to Reach plus ODST's unsatisfactory quality, i've moved away from the company.

Needs demo.

@(Unverified) Uhm The Fall Of Reach explains all of the hole plots?You should read it,it is a great book.

@stundio
I did read it, and I really didn't like it. And the storyline in the book has been retconned to what happened in the game. The story was my biggest gripe, but no book can explain away the gameplay choices that were made. And that goes for any series.
