I hear rumors there's only 1 explorable location per planet confirmed by DeeJ, but that's incorrect

When DeeJ said himself "We're calling them DESTINATIONS, you go to Mars, you go to the Moon, you go to Venus, you got Earth." Do we go outside the solar system? "Not so far... we reveal everything you'll explore in the first version of the game." Where does this confirm only one explorable location for each planet? Anyone ever notice that when you're viewing the map of old Russia there is a circle to the left with 3 smaller orb objects inside the circle that look like the Earth, and it looks like it has the rotate symbol indicating you can choose to pick a different map. Also, did anyone forget the rusted land map from the crucible? That map is NOT from Old Russia, but from the Eastern Flood Zone. http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140703013311/destinypedia/images/f/f6/Rusted_Lands.png Look at the bottom it clearly says Eastern Flood Zone, Earth, confirming at least 2 different locations on Earth. People are too quick to jump the gun. UPDATE: Here you go, this is posted by Bungie, clearly shows locations outside Old Russia http://www.bungie.net/en/Destiny Go to frontier tab and view 2/3 pictures showing locations obviously not in Old Russia.

  • I seem to recall them saying we would explore the "buried skyscrapers of Old Chicago." I don't think thats accurate.

  • Well I mean they talked about exploring Chicago and all of its watery goodness a long time ago. Think they would have had a "rip" like they did with Reaches squirrel. But it's base game, with two "expansion packs" so there will be more added. It's the first in the series, I'm not expecting some masterpiece just yet. More like testing the water.

  • They said multiplayer maps do not come from campaign. Otherwise where is the Old Russia map? Rust lands does not confirm anything. You know what does? Download size. Beta and alpha differ in size by about 6 gigs. The final game is ~40. 40/6 = 6.6. That means there are max 4 more places to explore other than Old Russia and The Moon. Since The tower will become larger, more MP maps, 2 strikes at Mars and Venus and a raid, it is safe to assume the only additional places will be Mars, Venus, and the Reef. You get to explore one location on Earth, Moon, Venus, Mars, and Reef. I'll necro this when the game is released.

    • Later in the stream he said that every crucible map will be an explorable location in campaign. Rusted Lands is in the European Flood Zone. There's a map in the Twilight Gap, which is between the walls of the Last City. Also, Exodus Blue is an Earth crucible map. We're definitely getting more than one location per planet.

        • Dude no you are wrong. They ask "is there only one EXPLORE per planet." Deej goes on to say "YES" but we call them destinations. A destination is the same as the "explore" and he says "YES" there is only one per planet.

          • The man does have a point... When we are at say the Skywatch it says Skywatch Old Russia, Earth DeeJ was kinda vague, so perhaps its just one explore, per destination. A destination would be like Old Russia. Explore mode isn't going to be called Destination, that wouldn't make sense.

            • There's still a lot more space on old Russia we haven't been able to explore. Multiple times have I been exploring and it says a new region but that it's blocked off obviously because its the beta.

            • Agreed, dear lord Deej is a community manager, and he was asked a question on a Twitch live stream through skype, and the question was barely legible. He was answering by stating the number of PLANETS playable and didn't say a damn thing about playable areas.

            • http://www.bungie.net/en/Destiny#page=frontier&panel=frontier-abandoned-earth The wilderness beyond the walls of the City are ruined and corrupted, claimed by nature and our enemies. From the war-torn fortresses of the Twilight Gap to the skyward steppes of Old Russia, evidence of our lost glory still litters the Earth, waiting to be rediscovered.

              • Hey, at least believing in only one destination per planet makes it to where it can only get better.

              • One explorable location means. One landingzone, then you can go where ever you want. Like in the Beta. The Beta have closed some "Doors"as you know.

                  They oughta have at least 3 explorable free-roam regions per planet... halo style multiplayer with a couple open areas will die out FAST. Over five years and $300m+ ? They've gotta do better than this..

                    The way it'll play out is the way it's been in beta where players need to follow the story line first then the explorable areas will be unlocked. Most likely we won't get to explore the other areas of Earth (or other planets) until the story leads us there. So far the planets or "destinations" as they so call them which are revealed are Earth and the Moon, Mars, Venus as well as Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter and some of their Moons so even if they each only had one explorable area, that's actually a good number.

                      • Bungie also confirmed awhile back that Old Chicago would be a playable location. I have no idea where to find the link since it was over a year ago, but I know for a fact that there will be more than one destination per planet.
