[b]EDIT: Glad to see this thread is still alive. Bungie, DeeJ, hope you're reading the thread every now and then. This is your fanbase and a small part of what they hope Destiny will be. Also, we want gorillas.[/b]
Anybody have any thoughts on what new environments you'd like to see in the future? Personally I would like a frozen over city caught in a constant snow storm. Have tight city alleys and longs stretches of road, beautiful piles of snow everywhere. Allow us to explore the inside of apartment buildings, maybe have some tight close quarters combat. Have guardians leap rooftop to rooftop. The snow storm could also greatly reduce visibility. Maybe have areas where you can only have a couple feet of visibility so you literally have to stick close to your fireteam as fallen and hive ambush you.
The enemies can be hive and fallen. The fallen can be scaling building walls like in the intro level, adding some verticality to combat. Then there could be some slumbering hive in some buildings. Bust open a door while exploring and the next thing you know you've got thrall pouring out of the door and crashing through windows. Fallen Walkers can be found guarding a city center or park. While fighting walkers you can go into surrounding building trying to find a better vantage point or even have a Titan climb to the rooftop and bullet dive that mofo.
Just some of the ideas I wanted to throw out there. What are yours?
Side Note 1:
Loving all the ideas and input coming from you guys. We've got islands with leviathan raid, deserts, caves, urban areas, tundras, Pluto (let's not forget about lil ol Pluto), the ever so lovely Uranus, underwater areas, forests, an active weather system, Egypt, Europa. Keep it coming guys!
Side Note 2: Woke up this morning to find the topic near the top of trending and full of amazing ideas! Didn't know how many fellow guardians would respond to this and in such a mature manner too, except for the occasional Uranus funny =). Keep these ideas coming guardians I'm loving this little think tank. Thank you.
Side Note 3: All these different environments you guys are coming up with are all wonderfully insane. THIS is the Destiny I would like to see in the future. One moment I'm trudging through a frozen city, next I'm wading through perilous swamps, an hour or two later I find myself carefully making my way down the dark corridor of a Fallen ship with just a few feet of visibility, next I'm hiking up Olympus Mons on my way to take out a Cabal base, ending the day with a peaceful stroll through a lush green forest. THIS is the world I hope to explore and conquer alongside my fellow guardians.
Final Note: This has been such a wonderful thread, reading everyone's insanely awesome ideas. Didn't think this would become such a hit or that you guardians would respond in such a constructive way. Thinking about starting a weekly thing where I'll do something like this every Friday. Think Tank Friday anyone?
-
I want snow or something like that.
-
I want caves Like huge NATURAL caves
-
I wouldn't mind a Vex environment that isn't made of stone
-
A beach environment was mentioned down below, but no detail. I think that could be a good idea. A tropical island on earth or even another planet with ocean and sand and palm trees...and also a bunch of enemies
-
Beach
-
A huge battle field where hundreds of enemies spawn, with trenches, buildings, and natural cover!
-
An elusive land were you find a rare animal called a story
-
I'd like to see Mercury. Since it's been overrun by the Vex maybe the entire world can be like a revolving catacomb. Constantly moving walls and floors would make fighting insane!
-
This could be on Jupiter as the grimoire card talks about cities of Ice.
-
I think it would be cool to have an area under constant snowfall. We see a lot of concept art of characters with fur on their armor, it would be so cool in a heavy snow storm.
-
A planet with snow would be amazing. Just like he said maybe a snow storm could come through every now and then just like a public event and leave you with limited visibility. And then imagine ambushes and traps.
-
A grimoire card mentions how the queens brother's crows were showing up where they weren't wanted and then says " The nine are not amused". It would be cool to finally get a story on who exactly Xur is working for.
-
The city I'm supposed to be protecting...
-
Europa. Enough said.
-

-
How about Europa which was supposed to be in the game already?
-
OLD CHICAGO
-
Destructive environments and a jungle map that's like the Amazon
-
Old New York, or Detroit.
-
I want the reef to open a new world or something
-
Fields of ice and white out blizzards
-
Iceland
-
Snow. I want snow, with limited visibility, real time avalanches ruining the environment...
-
Snow.
-
With blizzards and shit. Environment should be more "active". And wildlife for armor upgrade purpose. Underwater. Lava.
-
I want Australia. Also, in the archive mission you hear ghost mention pathways to other galaxies. It'd be cool to find those and find a thriving human colony that was cut off after the collapse. Except these humans have changed from being on a new distant world. They're enemies now, and you have to fight them on that front and try to prevent them from coming through the wormhole. It could be the basis of a new expansion and eventually you fail, leading to a new front in the war in the solar system with these evolved humans.
