Why I think Reach's space combat was practice for Destiny.

Edit: I forgot about the concept art showcasing a cockpit of one of the fighters. This more or less showcases what the space combat would look like up close. Thanks to Obadiah II for the link. [quote][url=http://images.wikia.com/destiny2579/images/4/40/Concept_Art-Spaceship_Cockpit.png]Cockpit[/url][/quote] Edit 2: Nothing to do with the topic, but another thought just occurred to me about the cut scenes for Destiny. Bungie probably used Reach as a guinea pig to test out the cut scenes with our customizable armor as well! I'm sure you all remember Halo Reach's space mission where you had to pilot your Sabre and defend the station from the incoming Covenant attack squads. I always thought it was strange they spent so much effort on a space combat sequence if they were only going to use it for a 10 minute level. Since it's confirmed that we have our own spaceships, it's only natural to think that we'll get to indulge ourselves in some delicious space combat as well. I'm sure Bungie included the space mission in Reach to both test out their systems and get our reactions to how it played out. We were basically beta testing that aspect of Destiny before we even knew what it was. "[i]Clever bastards.[/i]" What do you want to see for the space combat in Destiny (once they confirm it)? Small scale dog fights? Battles between giant cruisers? Personally, I would love to see two factions go at it in space with their personal ships. Giant 16 vs. 16 teams would be fantastic to see in-game. What about you Seventh Column?

  • I would like to see random encounters. In example: In the game menu I choose to leave Earth to go to Mars... Half way through the cut scene it get interrupted to notify you that you have been intercepted in a gravity well. -from this point on all players traveling from Earth to Mars (or vice versa) will now get caught in this gravity well- Your the first to arrive and it's a Cabal ambush! Several fighters and a frigate generating the well. You can't escape until the frigate is destroyed. As you start to engage other guardians get caught in their trap. What was one a suicide mission now looks like you might service. You and the other guardians defeat the Cabal. -After the frigate is destroyed other players will no longer get caught in the well- Then you use your tractor beam to salvage the loot before you continue to your destination. Sounds fun, exciting, and would be a random encounter.
