[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?

Older Russia..

Those new hive environments we were promised would be a good start. The three missing planets and reef zone would be nice too. Oh and that other earth zone? Can't forget that one. ... Oh you meant NEW stuff...oh, I haven't gotten that greedy yet. I'm still focusing on the stuff promised two years ago.

Lego earth
-
I really want pone forest/mountains and plains, like montana
-
Snow. Snow maps are the best, lets get some giant icebergs & falling icicles, with underground snow caves.
-
Urban cities. Forests. Lush jungles. Grasslands. Swamps. Really I just want more explorable environments that you can get lost in. I love Destiny, but it's not the game they advertised.
-
The Flood Zone. The Citadel. Jupiter's ship graveyard. Mercury's lushful jungles. Mars Eos Chasma. Old Chicago.
-
Multiple areas on each planet. Even if it's 1 more.
-
The inside of your moms butt. Not that it's a #newenviroment to many...
-
I'd like to fly around in space with our jumpships. Besides, we never really interact with them.
-
A Reef Strike, running from broken ship to broken ship via airlocks and narrow boarding tubes trying to access a relic of the Golden Age. There are multiple paths to be taken though the maze of interconnected ships, which will take you though Hive, Fallen or Cabal territory as they all scramble to try to find the relic. The culminating fight is the 3, that's right THREE bosses come out into a central ship and we ALL duke it out for the relic. Fallen vs Hive vs Cabal vs Guardians. A 4 corners fight where there are no safe rooms, corners are a good way to get yourself lit up, and every bit of cover can be flanked. That would be epic.
-
What everyone (who wants a snow environment) is saying: We want Hoth.
-
snow on old Russia. only makes sense
-
I think it would be really cool if there was a Winter/Snow area. Antarctica would be a really cool locale or maybe an abandoned Anchorage, Alaska. Someplace with a forest and lots of snow.

Edited by yslhellboy: 12/12/2014 4:00:59 PMI want a land with a shit ton of snow and the tower better have a Christmas tree by December 25
-
A new planet not found in our solar system. Completely different enemies that will be nice so long as you don't get too close to them nor steal things from them. Then all hell breaks loose.
-
I'd like Bungie to keep their promise "If you can see it, you can go there." You've been in Moon, you know what I am talking about.
-
I like your ideas. Mine are a bit further though lol. I want to explore the gas giant Jupiter. It has no surface so how would we explore it? Likely some old space station floating in the atmosphere that they built during the Golden Age. Right next to the giant red eye hurricane storm that's like 10 earth's wide. Or the moon Titan with its icy surface and water underground. Maybe something like Interstellar where we get a wormhole that leads into another galaxy with totally unimaginable planets. Very exciting.
-
Old Chicago..... Mercury....... Jupiter......... Saturn......... Tower-esque area in the reef. I'd like to see the game that Joseph Staten created before it got chopped to bits.

-
You're asking too much of Bungie.
-
What you said about the snow city, that's the moon Europa. Which was announced like a year ago but I guess it wasn't never implemented.
-
I would like to see a small town where it always rains but the kinda rain where it's just pouring pretty hard where you can't see that good. And beyond the town there can be a forest and for "loot caves" it'll be holes in the ground covered by branches and leaves. The enemies that surround the area will be the vex and fallen. A strike mission will take place in a hospital taken over by the fallen.
-
I loooooove the idea of a snowstorm environment with limited visibility. I also really want to see parts of Venus that are more heavily forested rather than the urban jungle/blasted wastelands it is right now
-
A frozen hell scape on the surface of Pluto where you can see the soldiers of forgotten armies frozen in ice.
-
You know, Old Chicago and Mercury would be nice.
