      • Vanguard, if you watch the E3 video behind closed doors . The Bungie staff are wearing shirts that say Vanguard on the back . Perhaps that could mean that they are the ones were waiting for ?

      • Someone else posted this link for you, so consider this a signal boost. When she asked "How many classes of Guardian are there?" he replied with "We showed three at the demo and we aren't talking about any other classes at this time." So, yeah. Think that's a decent confirmation/suggestion? Or did he slip on words and hint towards something not there?

          • Thanks for pulling it all together, nicely done. I am saddened by no official space combat confirmation but *fingers crossed Halo: Reach* I will keep hoping! Also, I noted in another interview that Joe Staten could not confirm Peter Dinklage as the 'Ghost' voice, while DeeJ did. That being said, I think this might point at Mr. Dinklage not being the only voice for the AI assistants. Thinking of all the voice talent that has been used for various UNSC Forces in Halo 3 and Reach; I do not expect Destiny to have a significant amount of disposable supporting characters like Halo. I do hope that voices are a customization option of the Ghost.

          • Well, I'm glad they're covering the core mechanics before they move onto the add-ons. I'm sure when the space-ship sections come roaring in, they'll be freakin' brilliant. If I have to wait for a Comet DLC, or Destiny 2, then so be it. Another thing. Each destination 2/3rds of Reach? Well I highly doubt they mean a single campaign level, so you kinda have to bump that up to either the entire game, or the entire campaign. Sadly reach was more linear than the previous halo games in my opinion. So personally, I'd have to bump that up some. Which, in turn, would make it perfectly massive. And as one of the folks had said, I believe, during one of the interviews, that wall in Old Russia can be traveled around. So if each Destination is roughly that size...well, lets make a list shall we! The City(Ea), Old Russia(Ea), European Dead Zone(Ea), Hellmouth(Mo), Acceleration Station(Mo), Moons Core, Mercury(At least one location), Shores of Time(Ve), The Citadel(Ve), The Dust Palace(Ma), The -I forget the word- Zone(Ma), The Burried City(Ma), (I think there was two more mars places named/mentioned, I forget), Europa(Ju), Some Space Station around Saturn, and likely at least one location to be assumed for Neptune and Uranus, and possibly pluto. So, give or take, that's about 17-19 locations. 17-19 locations (We know about at least) that're /Two thirds/ the size of reach. Get your baskets out kids, we'll be having an easter egg hunt for sure.

            • Well that's somewhat of a let down...really wanted to see some space combat, but truth be told in the 10 year expected span of this game I imagine it will be introduced in some way in the future.

              • I'm not too bothered by space combat but I would like the ability to fly the ship and at least explore "space" and the orbits of the planets; such as derelict space stations or asteroid mining facilities etc... But you win some you lose some!

              • I don't mind the lack of space combat, really. Though I do want to travel the stars and explore some of those derelict ships and whatnot.

                • Ehhh, I would have liked to see Space Combat, but I'm fine with it not being there. However, I would like to see some sort of flying mechanic going from place to place across Earth or something, so I have a reason to customize my ship.
