From what we know of Destiny, these couple of lines in a presentation that Chris Butcher (engineer at Bungie) made 5 years ago describe their current project exactly.

Interesting! Nice find. I have a feeling the third bullet point "Pee-to-peer is the future" will prove relevant as well once we know a little more about Destiny.

Destiny LAN parties will all go horribly wrong?

"Pee-to-peer is the future"
I wonder what the netcode for something like that looks like?

Haha...cue three days of me not noticing the typo.
Yes, pee-to-peer. It's the way of the future. Taking the current Xbox Live experience to its nightmarish extreme, other players literally piss on you from around the world.

JJ probably pulled him aside for some prototype design work on Destiny early, perhaps during Halo 3's development time, even. I bet there's more hints about Destiny in earlier talks like these.

Isn't the rumor that Jason has been brainstorming Destiny since Halo 2?

Yes, that is the rumor. The widely accepted notion is that Jones has been working on it since the split from Microsoft back in Oct. '07.

You know, this thread and many others have got me to thinking...
Maybe the name "Destiny" isn't solely aimed at the player, but is also self-directed on Bungie's part? Maybe this game is Bungie's destiny because it's the one they've always wanted to make, even if they didn't know at the time.
I dunno.
