This post was very moving, and I hope everyone at Bungie has a chance to read it.
Dear Spartans, I am new among you. I never fought on the front lines of Reach, I never prevented galactic genocide, and I never will go through the same experiences as you will, because I am not a Spartan. I am a Guardian. Destiny is my first Bungie game, and even though I had interests in Halo, I've never really sat down and played it. I stepped in to a community long established before I could even buy my own PS4, and I look up to you in awe. Spartans, you are my Ancestors, the legendary heroes that I read about in the libraries, and I shall always give you the respect you deserve. I was born a Guardian, grew as a Guardian, and I will remain a Guardian for years to come, to push back the Darkness. I am living my own legend, creating my own destiny, and I am humbled to know that I fight along side my parent Spartans.
Let us join in unity, grow together, and pave our way through the future. Let's write a new story, one about the Children of Bungie, and not as separate peoples. From this point forward, no matter where we go or what game we play, remember who you are. As for me, I am proud to be a Warlock, I am proud to be a Guardian, as I am sure that you are proud to be a Spartan. Thank you for creating this post.

Here's a chance to do something more. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/136485193

You know nothing of what we Spartans went through. We do not bolster, brag, or "Dance"... You are merely a "Destiny Fanboy", nothing more. You do not acknowledge or admit the wrong done by BungiVision... You merely accept it !!!

I never played Halo, but you assume I don't know what you went through. It's true, I wasn't there to experience it, but I studied Halo, some of my fanboy friends taught me everything they new about it. But my friend, James Clift, I showed you respect for being a Spartan, and I will not retract that respect. I still look up to you and honor you, I only hope that you give me credit for at least that.

The respect you give any Spartan is acknowledged! Yet for those out there trying to label themselves as "Destiny Spartans"... That's where it becomes offensive. Just because Bungie created the one and only game that turned players into true Spartans, DOES NOT give players of Destiny the right to compare, and call themselves "Spartans". (A fair comparison: Someone calling themselves an emergency room Dr., because they watch the tv show ER!) Yes, we Spartans appreciate the respect you give... But just because you've played a Bungie game doesn't make you a Spartan. Destiny players may be "Guardians", but we Spartans are now "Guardian Spartans"! Peace to you, and keep up the eternal repeating grind to save the Galaxy.

Dear Sir, I do not call myself a Spartan. I am a Guardian, plain and simple. You are a Spartan, plain and simple. We are different, we are not equals, but we do both play Bungie games. We are Bungie's children, and the Spartans are the Guardian's older Brothers and Sisters. You have more experience, and have played through a good franchise while us Guardians wait for Destiny to become as good as Halo. In the meantime, that is our relationship.
