I give a crap about this. (Destiny)

This wasn't the big scoop because this was an Alpha map, but I was interested to hear the time of day explanation for multiplayer maps.

I remember being surprised the first time I noticed time of day in multiplayer and just kind of assumed it matched Destiny's overall world clock (oh, I also assumed the existence of an overall world clock). It turns out they've picked particular times of day that look cool and the game randomly selects one when it loads the map. It makes sense, to maintain quality, but I also liked the concept of consistent time of day throughout the Destiny universe.

It makes me wonder if Strikes/etc will have similar discrepancies from other game modes, like Explore.
