Bungie was first with the big orb concept
In a Sparkast in July 343 said they have been developing Halo 4 since 3-3.5 years so since sometime from January to July 2009. ODST was [url=http://www.destructoid.com/halo-3-odst-has-been-finished-since-may-148646.phtml]already finished in May 2009[/url] and as many of you know it contains a [url=http://misriahsolutions.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/destiny_awaits.jpg]hint[/url] at Destiny and the spherical alien ship (aka "the Traveller"). That means Bungie had propably thought of the Traveller before 343 came up with the Didact's Cryptum. BAM!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] spartain ken 15 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ajw34307 You do realise that the Traveler (not to mention, the [i]entire story[/i] of Destiny judging by the leaked details) is directly ripped from Arthur C. Clarke's 'Childhood's End', right? So what if Bungie said "we want to have a giant orb in our game" before 343? Neither the Traveler nor the Cryptum are original concepts.[/quote] This is some good info, thank you[/quote][url=http://www.unz.org/Pub/FantasticMysteries-1950apr-00098]Here is the short story "Childhood's End" is based on[/url] ("Guardian Angel" or in other words, a Seraph) , I'm reading it now, but I did skim it, and there was someone talking to a sphere, kind of like the one in the concept art.
