Between a rock and a -blam!- in your face...and the hopes and desires of a pumpkin head.

So I have been dwelling on these forums for two weeks or so and this is my first post where I will be spiel-ing(?) all I have thought of that has not been confirmed (to my knowledge) and posing theories that are more than welcome to feedback and debate. First spiel: In the Halo series and Halo: Reach there were plenty of intense encounters in which we had human A.I.'s fighting alongside us, and although (i'm assuming) we didn't really find the marines useful (other than arming them with powered weapons and seating them shotgun seat) and generally we disregarded their help and would sometimes even kill them, I would like to see friendly A.I. in the game willing to fight alongside the Guardians. I myself enjoyed fighting alongside the marines and other soldiers and considered it a fun yet satisfying challenge if I could keep most of them alive for the duration I spend in the mission with them. Perhaps if they are incorporated into Destiny, there could be missions of fighting alongside them and keeping them alive and based off of how many you save special rewards could be earned. Second spiel: In Halo there was always the fun challenge of trying to go through missions for as long as possible without being detected, and I felt the most thrilling sort of stealth action from Halo: Reach in the sniper mission with Jun (the one where you run about sleeping enemies and assassinate them all) where all I wanted to do was hide in bushes with active camo and throw explosive(s) crap at elites. One thing kept all of this from being a truly immersible moment when it only took one shot or one elite staring in my general direction to spoil the stealth and have them all bumrush me on my "sneaky" hill position, and my hope is there may be the option to do stealthy missions and the right way, without any chance of detection. Maybe even silenced weapons? Maybe too much to ask for. Third spiel: Tying into the idea of assassinations animation: Is it a possibility that assassinations will make a come-back in the Destiny game? Maybe make options for flashy normal assassinations (incite fear or mock the enemy with cool moves) and more of like a stealth assassination, i.e.: Crouching behind an enemy then assassinating them- more silent approach. Final spiel: In every single Halo game there were these awe-striking moments where you turn a corner or look through a door and a spectacular landscape lies before you. I"m just really excited for more of those. :D TL;DR: Human A.I's that fight alongside you and give rewards in return for protection. Stealth missions and silenced weapons. Assassinations in Destiny. I like Bungie's sense of class when it comes to art and landscapes.

  • I'm all for the stealth and assassinations! I would love if they upgraded these in Destiny. It would make the game so much more fun in my opinion, I mean, who doesn't like assassinations? Now some people aren't the stealthy type and like to charge in guns blazing but there should be choices on how we tackle certain dungeons and such. And protecting AI partners was always fun for me, especially with the ODST's in Halo 3. Now giving us rewards for protecting them? Not too sure on that one. Maybe a cash reward but I won't be expecting anything but a Salute and a Goodbye. I mean it's our duty to protect as Guardians right?
