Do the Enemy Races Symbolize the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?
Think about it!
The Vex=Death: The Vex are an inescapable force, immortal through time and a danger to all forms of life. They bring end to the living as if they were a key component of the nature of the universe itself.
The Fallen=Famine: The Fallen are a scavenging race, picking at the bones of the golden age. They are completely dependent on the machine gods that sustain them. All they do is consume.
The Cabal=War: The Cabal are a race of warriors, their very fundamentals based on the dominance of other intelligent species. A WARpath has been left in their wake that nothing will stop.
The Hive=Pestilence: The Hive exist as an aversion to natural order. They are a sickly force of mortality bent on a virus-like mechanism of sacrifice and mass production used to invade and hollow out worlds.
See! In all honesty, I feel like the Vex and the Hive could switch roles, but I only say that the hive represent pestilence because of their diseased appearance. Also, the enemy races heralded the dark age, did they not? Thoughts?
Edit: Regarding the conquest/pestilence debate, I used the pestilence interpretation because that's what I'm familiar with. In line with conquest:
Vex=Conquest
Cabal=War
Fallen=Famine
Hive=Death

I'm glad that this got bumped. I didn't want to necro it, but I was sad to see it go down.

32 RepliesEdited by IAMHusar: 12/20/2014 3:43:08 PMNope , it's actually like this: Vex = China (collective mind, high tech) Hive = North Korea (they are a hive afterall, thralls) Cabal = USA (highly militarized, they like invading worlds, obese) Fallen = Iran/Iraq , I swear I heard once a Dreg screaming ' [i]yalla yalla yalla[/i] Also look at this Hive has [b]H[/b] Fallen has [b]Fal[/b] - > [b]alf[/b] Cabal has [b]l[/b] - > [b]L[/b] Hive has [b]ive[/b] Which gives us: [b]Half Live[/b].... obviously it's [b]Half Life[/b] . Half Life 3 confirmed!!!!!

21 RepliesI like to think of this. Have any of you guys [i]died[/i] enough times to actually notice the different armies weapons tech? Or read the Grimoire cards? Fallen have arc and solar weapons. The vex have solar and void weapons. The hive use arc and void weapons. Seems familiar? Fallen=Hunters Vex=warlocks Hive=Titans. I have no idea how I can fit the cabal into this. Maybe they're more like pawns. They're only true motivation and purpose is to please thier superiors. Well then again that's every other foot soldier in the other 3 armies. Maybe the cabal are servants to what ever the psions are since the psions are obviously smarter than the cabal.

Edited by GRIM: 3/4/2015 3:40:06 AMI think the 4 enemy races represent 4 of humanities fears. FALLEN - fear of the devil or evil forces, religious war, man v man. HIVE - fear of the undead, zombie apocalypse, man v undead CABAL - fear of aliens, the scary kind that blow up planets that get in their way, man v aliens VEX - fear of artificial intelligence becoming self aware and destroying us, man v machine

It's entirely possible. The Halo games took inspiration from religion, history, and philosophy, at least in naming conventions, but also the function of the enemies you would face. [b]The Covenant[/b] Likely inspired by the Ark of the Covenant, the chest that contained the Ten Commandments. The Covenant is led by a group of profits that contain knowledge of the means with which to take the Great Journey. [b]The Flood[/b] Likely inspired by the Great Flood caused by a 40 day rainstorm, threatening to consume all of existence. [b]The Ark[/b] Likely inspired by Noah's Ark, meant to save all life from the Flood. I like the idea that the 4 Horsemen inspired the creation of the 4 enemies faced in Destiny. Every creative product has its inspiration.

I always thought they were like the darkness versions of the guardian classes. Cabal =Titans, brute strength. Hive = Warlocks, space magic. Fallen = Hunters, capes and stealth. Vex = Evil Ghosts?

Half Life 3 confirmed!!!

Edited by TrueBeachBoy: 12/21/2014 1:26:18 AMThis totally makes sense. Funny thing is that theres the 4th horseman shotgun.
-
Makes sense in a way. Cabal are from Mars, Mars is the Roman god of you guessed it war, the hive are mobs of ritualistic monsters that use overwhelming numbers to overtake like locusts, the very opening scene your ghost revives you and leads you from the fallen who are scavenging earth which looks like no life is there, and the vex are time traveling machines using many more mythology in their arsenal gorgons, minotaurs, harpies all greek monsters.

3 RepliesThere were going to be five enemy races in Destiny, so probably not.

this is really cool, and it could be true. a lot of games have underlying themes like this.

2 RepliesIf that's true then the traveler would symbolize the antichrist

4 RepliesSo the bible is based off of a video game or is it the other way around 0_o

What's conquest? I was aware of pestilence. Have they changed something? Great post though, me rikey

I LOVE this. Great insight. Now I want it to be true!

8 RepliesI bet the original guy who wrote the story actually had that in mind. Then activision came in, that guy quit and all the metaphors and symbolism were lost. Now the deepest people go are light=good Dark=bad

I like it ^,^ also throw in some halo and its spot on :p

1 ReplyAlso, hive can poison your body like pestilence.
-
Woah....mind blown

1 ReplyImpossible! The 4th horseman comes in the form of a shotgun! Which would mean the Vex and Hive are both pestilence and we as guardians are death!
