Bungie was first with the big orb concept
In a Sparkast in July 343 said they have been developing Halo 4 since 3-3.5 years so since sometime from January to July 2009. ODST was [url=http://www.destructoid.com/halo-3-odst-has-been-finished-since-may-148646.phtml]already finished in May 2009[/url] and as many of you know it contains a [url=http://misriahsolutions.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/destiny_awaits.jpg]hint[/url] at Destiny and the spherical alien ship (aka "the Traveller"). That means Bungie had propably thought of the Traveller before 343 came up with the Didact's Cryptum. BAM!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] NAStheMagiking On the surface, anyway, the similarities between the book in question and Destiny are stark. Bungie was most likely heavily inspired by it, but aims to distinguish their universe. Still, always interests me when you find out how similar one thing is to another. Not just in the sense that it's following a genre template, but something more specific. I actually really want to read 'Children's End' now. Sounds like a great read. EDIT: The orb in Destiny reminds me more of Final Fantasy XIII's Cocoon, anyway.[/quote] Pretty much what I think.
