Remember the shot of the cloaked sneaky/sniper type guy walking from right to left? I thought, 'Hey! What's the derelict Reaper doing here? OMG WHERE'S LEGION?'

This one reminds me of guns from Marathon for some reason. Love the look of alien weapons

I thought the same, but not because of the gun.

Why why why. If this game ties into Marathon AT ALL I'm going to have to get it even if I hate it. Uggggg.

Imagine seeing these guys once again:

Given that in the shot entitled "Dark Patrol" we have Cabal and Fallen troops with an eerie green glow, I'm going to go out on a limb and say it shouldn't be ruled out that we may be seeing the reanimated corpses of unannounced races.

Yeah, that's pretty consistent with Bungie's usual approach, as well as with the name "Fallen". That might not be any particular race, but rather a faction composed of decomposing members of other factions. Something like a fusion of Flood and Thrall.

(Note to self: Start a band called "Flood, Sweat and Thrall")

That being said, the Cabal have a very Drinol-esque aesthetic about them. Enough rings of Marathon about all of this. It would be fun if Marathon and Destiny canon intersected in a way that resulted in actual gameplay moments against them.

Yeah, overall sloping shoulder shape is a bit more Drinol than Hunter, despite the obvious similarities to both. As usual, some parts bin innovation going on-- taking familiar bits and recombining them in new ways.

No matter how many times I run that quote through my mind, it keeps coming out sounding like, "f*** body count".

Which makes me smile.

Lol. He never said that :-) The actual quote, when asked about Body Count was "Fuck that". Put it up there with "Play it again, Sam." and "I'm ready for my close up, Mr. DeMille".

Well, the quote needs contextual adjustment to be memorable, because "f*** that" by itself doesn't mean anything. "That" referred to "body count".

He was right though. Body count in Myth 1.0 was seriously flawed, in that if you lost all your troops you couldn't win, even if you had the most kills.

I never believed that was why he said it. He said it, I always thought, because he believed it to be a shallow gameplay mode with little to recommend it, favored by those whose modus operandi was to start BC Trow games and yell "meet in middle" at the start.

It's hard not to hear strains of that in "those competitive modes that players have come to expect".

Has anyone noticed the large number of jet streams and spaceships crossing over the Traveler when we see it from the city? I hope these are not just dynamic events but actual players' ships taking off. It would be especially cool because a lot of them appear to be horizontal so it could even be players traveling from place to place on the planet instead of just from planet to planet.

I'd be very surprised if we wind up with the ability to travel around however you what everywhere... but even if it's just a generated fast-travel indicator, that would be cool.

I also think I may have a man crush on him.

Ya, agreed.

Does making kick-ass games make you younger, cause he doesn't seem to have aged much since we last saw him!

Jones feeds on the life force of naive young programmers to maintain his youthful glow. There is only one lord of The Shaft, only one who can bend it to his will, and he does not share power.

But the eye is wrong? The single eye should be below the other two if I recall.

It actually depends on which game. In the first game the Fighters had the single eye on bottom, but because Seropian thought it looked like a nose they put it on top in the next two games.

Oddly, this is familiar to you, as if it were from an old dream...

Pfhor confirmed in Destiny! :)
