Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.

The fact that the Aphelion can latch onto our ships is terrifying but it's something I'd actually like to see in game. Imagine having a super low percent that an aphelion would latch onto your ship mid flight to a destination and you'd have to try and kill it or it sends you back to orbit

[@ShadowDestiny]

LOL omg 😳

[@tay3stripes]

I'm thinking the Aphelion is what kills our character could tie to saint speaking at our said funeral maybe we do a ultimate sacrifice for the Last city to kill one at the end of final shape maybe the witness finds a way to summon one and we are able to kill it but die in the process also have to be using some type of sword

[@Starfloofle]

Fun fact: OG PSO2 did something like this. There was always a rather small chance when entering a non-urgent quest mission that your campship would malfunction or get abducted or something I forget-- Either way you'd end up being dragged into a full-on *nest* of darkers (the corrupting evil baddies) you'd have to fight your way the hell out of, and your usual "return to base" escape tunnel would get turned off too iirc. If you really didn't wanna do it you could just disconnect ofc lol. but there was something hella spooky about having that suddenly sprung on you during routine operations. Having the enemy randomly just strip away your agency like that during a normally inconsequential bit of the gameplay loop and basically *force* you to fight for your life like that really helps remind you that the enemy is dreaded for a *reason.*

One of my favorite lesser known things about destiny is a fairly audio log from the red war, after you get kicked off the tower and are walking through the nature before meeting Hawthorne, there’s an audio box you can interact with and it replays a message played by a guardian with nothing but sheer panic and fear in his voice as he describes the feeling of being lightless and, in my opinion, the most impactful lines in the red war. Simply “they’re killing us!” It was really easy to miss and helps describe the situations and the severity of the red war

Correction the "I saw what happened" audio. It can actually play in several different Cabal themed environments including that lost sector, in the room during Arms Dealer where you deploy your ghost to open the door, and The Quarry lost sector on the EDZ. You don't need to be wearing Reverie Dawn gear, and it also used to occur in the Leviathan, very noticeable in the underbelly section, likely because it's one of the ambient noises for Cabal tilesets

To add your comment; the aftermath of Reed-7's death, Shayura visited his grave to pray for him, which means her and Aisha are still alive to this day

[@KoreanMungBeanSproutSalad]

Here’s a potential answer to 12 slides: In D1, there’s a glitch that you can perform using a certain emote to “offset” your character model. This makes your character essentially sticky - you can stand on certain objects or climb certain walls that usually you wouldn’t be able to. Crouching undoes the offset, making your character model interact with the environment normally again. Perhaps sliding slightly offsets your character model, so they’ve set a cap to how often you can slide before they force you to crouch, resetting your model.

[@Ahnock]

ehhh probably not. if they were aware of an issue like that they would just fix it outright rather than bandaid it by "forcing them to crouch after it gets this bad." I'm guessing its just some backend stuff with sprint cooldowns or something that went under the radar and happens rare enough that it's not high priority. kinda similar to the weird bug on i believe haunted release where either icarus dash or phoenix dive would stop you from sliding while it was on cooldown. just some weird interactions in the code.

[@elbozomemeULTRA]

its mostly probably velocity based slide, so probably after 12 slides, the velocity is less than the requirements for the slides

[@Thewatcherinthedark005]

Just a few more things that are kinda cool Elsie Bray(Exo Stranger) Is a time traveler who constantly relives the same three or four futures depending on what choices she makes. Most if which lead to eris becoming a hibe god leading to the end of all gaurdians. Regarding loot caves, if you go to the original loot cave in d1 there will be a voice message in rahools voice stating something close to "a thousand deaths are not enough for rahool" Old Chicago has been continually referenced as an area that guardians venture into, with graviton lance's lore tab focusing on it The golden cyclops can be ezplained as a test because one of the two strike bosses on mercury was a rotating golden cyclops One of cayde's last lines "I'm coming home Ace" refers to ace and queen, his fragmented minds only recollection of his wife and son before being put in prison and converted inti an exo for excessive gambling debt Zavala crocheting is how he can remember his wife, who died at the hands of the fallen, revealed during season of the haunted The gaurdian in the presage mission was named katanasis, was sent to rhe charon (the ship that the mission takes place on) by the vanguard but was invited by calus. In the end it was his ghost, not him that fell to the darkness, with the ghost refusing to revive him for days and weeks on end, and eventually just abandoning him. You can find the ghost shell during the jumping puzzle righ before the bossfight As most fans know and many memes are made about, a fair amount of exotics are just people or enemies made into guns. A brief list that i can think of is: Xenophage(the bug you see when you reload used to be a gaurdian), Ruinous Effigy (A shard of savathun that is now your friend but makes other people depressed when they hold it), Whisper of the Worm (Xöl's remaning consciousness is stored in the weapon), Parasite (Literally houses savathuns worm) Thats all i can think of rn in terms of weapons that are creatures remade You can still glitch into the black armory forge in the edz and get a look at it. Also the black armory is a thing You used to get a "glow" when you completed a nightfall strike and achieved 150k score, or if you had a full set of notorious reckoning gear Some of the side missions involving failsafe lead you to her old captain "Jacobson" which is a vex harpy partially imbued with his consciousness. This harpy shows up on europa every once in a while to give you gear after an event There are three versions of the og white ghost shell The last city shell The last city shell (damaged) The last city shell (destroyed) You can only obtain the first and second one, but the destroyed version requires you to never change your ghost shell because the second you did it destroyed it and you coukd never reacquire it again A fair amount of exotics used to be quest linked, and upon first release you would get an arnamant for those weapons Mida multi and mini tool come from another timeline, much like elsie The drifter is the first gaurdian to survive an encounter with the actual darkness that now currently haunts the traveler

Oh man, there are some really interesting ones out there, you're totally missing out

[@SOCKSONATRACTOR]

I still think !lettinggo was absolutely not fan made. I absolutely love how unnerving the video is, and the speculation around it is absolutely wild. The statements and lines of text in the video are 100% something one of lore devs would write/help with and the talk about light and darkness within the main line under "Rasputin" predicts the literal entire story and plot of Destiny. Makes me wonder what a wayyy darker, grittier Destiny would be like. A trapped, furious Rasputin. Vile, abhorrent creatures of the darkness ravaging a hopeless world. Idunno, the video is insanely creepy, but I love the implications of something that could've been. (Saw I made some typos and edited them, sorry people)

[@clonegunner4962]

I agree, it’s so much more cryptic, with the way the exo hangs kind of resembles the Jesus on the cross, and the thing resembling the witness 2 years before it was even announced is astounding

[@SOCKSONATRACTOR]

Oh 100%. Even if it was meant to be an ARG the execution kills it. Rasputin is definitely meant to be a religious symbol akin to Jesus. And the image on the right absolutely matches the shape of the Witness, maybe one Witness that isn't so "megamind-ey" but still conveys what the Witness is. Whoever made this knew what they were doing. More than likely it was something that was originally uploaded by a dev, but scrapped afterwards. If you look at the concept of the original Destiny trailer too the vibe I think matches. The tones of cosmic horror are there through and through in both videos.

[@HierarchyOfWeeds]

aye that video is way too perfect for being fan made before anything else. i honestly feel like it was meant for the original destiny story that got scrapped, but we’ve retained some of the main points/themes, character designs etc. and would’ve made complete sense later on if they stuck to it. otherwise to me it seems like it was a memory of stuff clovis’ ai would say, the guy wanted to desperately be a god at any cost too (the infinite sword j adds to it hear me out). maybe the video is something clovis said while trapped in his exo frame without a single reset, one of his goals was immortality through exos and that came with problems. far as i remember at least we don’t hear about any of his personal struggles mentally as an exo after his children abandoned him and he was alone with frames on europa. i’d expect a lot of rage in the many many years he was there that’d be similar to the text in that vid, not out of love but feeling that his legacy was betrayed/forgotten by all of humanity with the collapse (the whole “I used to be so joyful, then the bombs started falling” thing) & that was another huge part of his obsessions. at least to me this would kinda explain why we see the 1/2 strung up exo and the outline of the witness since he was communicating with the darkness, also obsessively. just food for thought for the most part cause it was so early on, it just seems like the whole thing of him “letting go” was him deciding to give up on saving humanity at all, even his children

[@peter990011mc]

@@clonegunner4962 pretty sure that's not the witness, it looks like an obscured Marathon logo

[@destroreact5706]

I felt like it was just another creepy video until I saw the Witness thing. Witness in 2011? now that's some interesting stuff. Because Bungie themselves didn't know wtf darkness should be in D1.

[@AttiMatter]

The "I saw what happened" voiceline was never triggered by armor and can still be heard. Go to the tunnels if you want to hear it without traversing the lost sector. There is a second voiceline that says "The Darkness is ____ " - I had always thought it didn't make any sense for these scripts to play in a cabal area and the only thing I could think of being remotely "whisper-ey" there was the psions, but now that we know what we do about the psions post Lightfall, it all adds up.

[@Ahnock]

it's definitely not meant to actually be there. what's likely happening is some object used elsewhere, i'm guessing either dreaming city or some cut dark forest content, was reused in the assets of the lost sector and unintentionally carried its weird "whisper audio when in proximity" trigger. same reason why there's weird blank scannables in various areas, like the duality dungeon gahlran encounter, or stuff out of bounds in the saber strike or on nessus. they're just assets that got reused for visual purposes, but not all the mechanical things tied to them got deleted when copied over. i wouldn't look too deep into it.

I think this may still be the case but early on in Destiny 1, perk pools were updated, however this wasn't implemented perfectly. You can still find deprecated and old versions perks like metal detector, hair trigger, and life support, as well as perks usually considered inappropriate for that weapon class like focused fire on LMGs. I recall that the green LMG Xerxes was able to get it as a high-impact, leading to two-taps in the crucible. Some greens also had ridiculous stats to emphasize upgrades, such as 3-4 mag size handcannons. Incidentally, they also could roll with luck in the chamber, which lead to like a 50% chance for a two-tap, or more if you mag scummed. Another possible lore entry here on the timeline was that for early D2, it was beneficial to *not* upgrade your subclass to a certain point. Both cataclysm nova bomb, and six-shooter golden gun were considered downgrades, especially in the crucible. However, if you didn't purchase the final super-altering upgrade, you could use the rest of the class without sacrificing your super. However, you couldn't go back if you purchased it, and it would always remain blinking. (Six-shooter goldy was especially heinous as it required two shots to kill a guardian..) Lastly, any of the pre-patches with content would be fun to talk about. Earning DLC loot early was always enjoyable. Even the broken bounties in pre-forsaken that had placeholder icons. Pre-TTK in D1 was probably the best though with the gunsmith bounties letting you access the first curse a week early if you were diligent enough :) Space aids! Otherwise, uhh I can only think about 347 Vesta Dynasty, the grimoire card that you could only unlock pre-TTK by farming kills with a single gun (The Vestian Dynasty). The on-disc DLC debate and the OOBs to get to expansion areas early. The leftover dead ghost under the map in D2's cosmodrome, black garden barrier launching, honestly combined arms and other abandoned gamemodes. OH. And auras. People have completely forgotten about auras. They used to have their own dedicated cosmetic slot!! The first solstice of heroes had a lot to talk about too. Including the once-seen social space in the last city. Shame how they used these cool social spaces once and then never again.

[@Ahnock]

god i remember not fully upgrading subclasses, my bottom tree nightstalker still never had the multishot upgrade unlocked when void 3.0 rolled around just because the neutral game was so much better, but orpheus rigs were less optimal with them

[@HibiscusOrchid]

A little bit of extra info following the revisiting of the lore entry for "The Helmet Stayed On". Correct/add into this if you know more: Mara's significant other (or akin to that) is Sjur Eido. I recall either or both of Sjur and Shaxx being into literatures. Mara was reminiscing Sjur, and wished Shaxx in (for him to repay a debt) for his take on a piece of literature, lending him a copy of The Tempest. Shaxx, the boisterous and proud fellow that he is, decided to toss the book and recite from memory. The Tempest, is also a title Shaxx refer to Sjur when he first encountered her (hostile) and has respect for her as a result. "They stayed a long time. The helmet stayed on." Was a means to describe the mutual respect of their power/authority of each other as they, in a sense, pay homage to Sjur Eido, the Tempest. At least, that's my take on it from what I've read/heard so far.

[@nicholaswahlgren5696]

Just going to add as an aside. Shaxx didn't just toss the book...he disintegrated it with arc energy.

I can't recall all of them but I do remember there's an entry about a certain type of snake that only exists in that area which was explicitly noted to live near the city walls. It was confirmed multiple times, but for some reason only the Seraph moment gained traction in the community One thing which would've been fun to include is that they included an irl sparrow at a vehicle showcase back in 2013 or so. Not sure which company it was with but i believe it was with other sci-fi vehicles.

About the 15th wish: I’m not sure if this is a widespread theory but after watching this I thought the raid itself would be the 15th wish - it is, after all, called the Last Wish. The 15th wish is us wishing for Riven to die.

[@haotatyan]

Yup thats the lore

[@donb7519]

Well that was a theory ... A game theory

[@harbingerofhentai2073]

I think the !lettinggo video is much much cooler then I think people give credit to. While many believe it to be official it's very clear it's fan made after doing just a little bit of digging. the video pertains to something known as the Joyeuse thread (hence their username) which was a elaborate theory made about speculation relating to Bungie's next game at the time (Destiny). The theory does a really good job at guessing some stuff that does actually exist in Destiny like Charlemagne. It also pulls a lot from stuff in Marathon or Halo which bungie has referenced since making the connection seem stronger when a lot of the stuff in the video is actually just Referencing Halo and Marathon and not Destiny at all. Although the point of the video is to try and seem like it is referencing this game that doesn't even exist yet and the fact it succeeded so strongly is what I think makes it amazing and genius.

I didn’t know how much I needed this video until now, I also didn’t realize how much I actually like Destiny’s lore until this video, it’s utterly fascinating. RIP Lance Reddick, a man behind two of the most badass video game characters ( Commander Zavala, and Sylens from Horizon).

[@thekecleonshop4799]

Fun fact; one of the dead members in the lightfall trailer is Reed-7, a recurring trials of osiris armor and weapons lore tab character. I don't remember which weapon it's on, but I know it exists.

[@riplix20]

Reed’s Regret

[@literallyjustadude3021]

Actually the Titan that died in Lightfall's opening was Reed-7 from the trials lore, check the Valiant Memory trials ship for the source

[@Fuzely]

1:07:11 The area in this screenshot was used for the seasonal event before Beyond Light. Might be part of what was originally the parade

[@cmdrmeldoc59]

Unfortunate that stuff like the oob in the Reef was mentioned, but not the different emote oobs (out of bounds btw). Like the Bureaucratic Dance or whatever it was called, where you kick your leg in the air and take a step backwards, which let you go past thin walls and let you stand places like next to Tess Everis.

[@CaptoftheHaggister]

It also let's you enter into the Speaker's Chambers.

[@steezgod3671]

“there is no way destiny doesnt have a pvp team” lol that didnt age well

[@theadministrator4765]

Destiny 1 Beta player here. Randall the Vandall started from the beta. The reasoning was because in the Beta max level was 7 and you couldn't damage him. There were also some hallowed knights below in the damaged train tunnels in the cosmodrome that were invincible due to light level disadvantage. Just thought I'd give a bit of clarification

[@Lynxee3004]

1:45 I wish we had this type of weather in D2 as well instead of just having the same default day time lighting we have now. It would add so much depth to the environment. Edit: I know it probably won’t happen, but I believe it would be a nice change.

[@MarioPastranaGameDev]

To be fair, they started doing some really pretty weather on Europa when Beyond Light came out, the snow storms were really cool

[@mcdonaldburger420]

THE GHOST DETECTED THE FALLEN IN THE GOD DAMN WALLLLSSSS!!!!!!!!

[@webster9169]

?

[@SynbaddYT]

I thought "Blueberry" referred to a newbie because they would have all blue rarity gear.

[@TheSweetpea0711]

I absolutely loved this video. This reminded me of all of the reasons I fell in love with Destiny to begin with. All of the mysteries and just the overall feeling it once had is what makes this franchise so amazing to me. Great work!

[@ShadowDestiny]

thanks so muuch

[@Blueblazerz]

I’m binge watching this tonight

[@Clenixx]

Same bro

[@ThunderUnrelenting]

Tuba Centurion was a buddy of mine who passed away some time ago. His name was Robbie. And i can tell you right now he would have been THRILLED to see his meme included in this video. Thank you for immortalizing him in this. Much love 💜

[@ShadowDestiny]

💜 so sorry about your friend Robbie. Which meme was his?

[@ThunderUnrelenting]

​@ShadowDestiny I appreciate it. It was the meme with the twin Zavalas. At the 1:17 mark. I just about jumped out of my chair when I saw it. Thank you again 💙💙💙

[@nezcron]

1:07:48 I believe it could mean Long Distance Rifle - 5001 Yards, even though no rifles could really go that far

[@bink21]

thats what i always thought

[@monadoboy9639]

i knew most of the D2 stuff but the video was still very fascinating

[@carlosldg]

Great video! Kind of wild knowing how spooky the Joyeuse video's existence is. I've known about it for forever and it still runs chills down my spine.

[@Star.Chaser]

“We’ve stepped into a war with the cabal on mars” deserves its own iceberg video tbh

[@gordonyoshikage103]

Who’s watching right after we got the sword in the final shape 👀

[@JakeSafetyMan]

good video man! Also for !lettinggo, 1:02:24 some people have theorized that the person who made the video was an alpha play tester that broke an NDA. This is personally what I believe.

[@nostopit179]

I remember the SRL so well. I was so good at it! I wish bungie would be able to bring it back. I want for new players to be able to experience it

[@Ahnock]

26:44 no, this is actually true. I've got a friend who lived with a guy working at bungie and he confirmed that there was a single person on the pvp team since around halfway through witch queen iirc up to now. the "it's going to take us time to put this pvp focused map team together" that joe blackburn talked about in his livestream is just cover for them to actually allocate people onto the team.

[@jokintoinen]

22:09 there will also be 7 damage types after the final shape

[@Sadoruro]

Regarding the Ahamkara breaking the 4th wall, I thought this was cannon by now. They essentially regards you as the IRL player who is controlling the guardian. I thought there was other lore tabs that basically explained that guardians are actually entities controlled by a player from another reality. And from this perspective a lot of things make sense in the game. The Traveller is our (by our I mean us, the IRL players) gateway in the Destiny universe. At the beguining the Ghost doesn't ressurect a dead person who turned out to be amnesiac. They are injecting you, the IRL player, into the corpse to take control of it. I don't remember all the details by when I dived into this theory, I remember that suddenly a lot of things became clear, especially regarding the ressurection mechanism used by ghosts and the lore tabs around the Traveler and the Darkness about who those entities were.

[@tox_185]

1:08:44-It became real xD

[@SlimSpartan]

Watching this brought back some memories, forgor about some of these oldies. Great vid!

[@exilieaon6256]

The sword on our grave is the ergo sum

[@EyeOfHorus0]

The fact he got an exotic all to himself is dope

[@notoriousnite]

Holy shit, that sword on our grave from the corridors of time event is the new ERGO SUM sword from the final shape dlc that just came out, that’s mind blowing

[@slaengi]

Yes! Dark Below Stage! Awsome Video btw.

[@Maxzsimus]

Reverie dawn is found in the dreaming city. It said "i saw what happened". It could be a nod to the current season, of the witch, being that some witches garner the ability to have premonitive dreams...

[@ProtoMario]

We saved the new lights!

[@Frog_FootYT]

The quote from the Exo Stranger "I dont have time to explain why I dont have time to explain" was commemorated by the "No time to explain" exotic pulse rifle.

[@Jin_923]

Few things you missed: -The Legend of Smoggypluto Ringing the bell at Felwinters peak in the Iron temple in the right order will give you a reward - solving the cube room in WoTM using binary codes and ARG - The Spider can speak Chinese

[@ispookstv499]

In the final shape, the exotic sword Ergo Sum that we get is actually the sword on the grave when we interact with Saint 14 about the guardians death. It’s awesome.

[@omega-death]

Btw the sword on "our grave" is in game. It's called "ERGO SUMS". It was released in final shape. I'm suprised no one has noticed.

[@Ibrahim-ho7bu]

1:08:40 Dudde also in a bunch of the gambit lore drifter's dialogue is written as multi class or something, when the people hes talking to are labelled titan warlock etc

[@AvalonEndures]

I started the video because I was bored and assumed I would leave after a few minutes... but in those first few minutes I was hooked. This was VERY interesting and well done!

[@Bartholomew3]

Seeing a destructible tree made me flinch 😂

[@Alassandros]

26:42 Yeah, well, the 2023 State of the Game essentially stated that PvP development is shared across all development teams. This means there is no dedicated PvP team, and we have it in writing.

[@townsleyfamily]

Wow this must have takin you hours thank you for all the lore!

[@COFFEEZILLADAUGHTER]

one very very secret easter egg that you missed that only a couple of destiny players knew about.. was in destiny 1 during the dark below dlc 3 months prior to the house of wolves being released. There was a very secret spire/levitating portal, on the venus patrol. One player found out that if you parkour about 50 feet into the air and jump inside of this spire it would lift you up into the sky and teleport you into an early build/version of a house of wolves nightfall. This was insane because you were able to get house of wolves guns (blue rarity) 3 months early due to this out of map teleportation glitch that let you play house of wolves 3 months early basically. once you complete the mission and open the chest

[@tostbutyoutube7204]

and W is for "Whether or not we wanted it, we've stepped into a war with the cabal."

[@jadecervidae]

45:05 the fireteam in the lightfall intro cutscene is confirmed to be Shayura, Aisha, and Reed-7, namesakes of Shayura's Wrath, Aisha's Embrace, and Reed's Regret. The fireteam is composed of a Hunter, Titan, and Warlock (Aisha, Reed-7, and Shayura respectively) like the original fireteam however the hunter in the original is male instead of female and the titan is a human instead of an exo. Reed-7 was the only one of the three to die a final death in the lightfall intro.

[@exalphagosthedestroyerofwo4873]

Biggest pet peeve about this game is just the NPCs saying random things as Im standing there. Like can you imagine going to a store and you're looking around and the clerk is just like "it's a great day for wares" and then 5 seconds later "a customer's greatest challenge is which item to choose... choose wisely" I'd be like "bro you good?"

[@BigCrow85]

the eidolon gun and original khovostov being some of the most overpowered meta guns in pvp surprised they didnt get a mention also on original destiny 1 at the bottom of the helmouth you could glitch out map and there was an oval shaped track of sorts you could actually race your sparrows around, also the hideen ghosts that where supposedly part of the first destiny 1 expansion on cosmodrome could only be gotten by glitching to area prior to dlc release and if obtained would increase the overall possible grimoire score in destiny 1 by 15 when the dlc released the you could re obtain them and get the extra score amounting to the 15 anyone found to have gotten them were automatically banned but had accounts reinstated me and my friend did it only to get banned next day but then eventually prior to release of dlc had our accounts re instated but the grimoire score stayed so anyone who ever had maxed out the grimoire in destiny 1 just know there was a hidden extra 15 that you had a time frame to get

[@corujariousa]

Ohhhh, you've opened old wounds... No matter how many times I killed Crota, I never got Gjallarhorn to drop. It was always Mida Multi-tool. I could have opened a Mida store at the Tower. I got it when Xur finally sold it before the NERF. No aggravating!!!!! The Crota boots (needed to level up the characters at the time) only dropped once for me after innumerous attempts. On the other side, I got Crux of Crota 4 times. Go explain D1 RNG...

[@Spacialvekter]

11:00 The reason you'd equip the lower level items is so that you were automatically queued with other players of a low power level and not screw up legitimate forge runs. The AFK part of it worked because even if you failed the mission by doing nothing, you still got some basic rewards and the game put you right back into queue after it ended. Also the Drifter/Vanguard thing does have one thing it impacts nowadays - Drifter will sometimes call you a snitch if you sided with the Vanguard. Really wish they'd done more with it.

[@chronic_leuk7463]

Instantly recongnised the lemmino music lol great touch

[@alex48494]

ikrrrr love to see it

[@Maxzsimus]

operation save the new light actually made me feel a deep stoic feeling of joy and happy tears.

[@wearywanderer7018]

Shit like “I saw what happened” gives me chills and intrigues me greatly. I hope most of these questions get answers before it’s all over.

[@Omegaknight777]

😂😂 "glass throne" love your videos bro. Always a good watch

[@Cabe71]

the pvp team one ended up being 100% true, they confirmed in the State of the Game that they outsource PVP to various teams and it diverts their attention away from things they actually want to work on. $3.6 billion going directly to Marathon confirmed

[@shripaulrooplall9923]

I'm a fairly new player, started this year, and I've honestly been loving the game, even though lately there seems to be a lot of issues with the games according to gamers who've been playing this game for a long time. This video just makes me want to get more into this game.

[@Laislacfoe]

Bonus: The first time we ever saw the Destiny logo was actually in a Halo Reach Vidoc from february 2010 (Once More Unto The Breach) at 3:17 minutes into video.
