Some what of a long read. tldr; provided at bottom of post. Halo CE was the game that attracted people to b.net, but before it was released, Bungie did not have an official place for fans to talk and come up with really wacky, backwards-ass conspiracy theories. It would take several years for the community to grow to the massive size it is today. All the while though, the games they made grew and transformed into a whole new universe. By the time the Community had matured and gained it's own identity, the identity of the Halo universe was complete (or at least very limiting to new stories and information.) Since the game gained an identity before the community, the community took many queues from the games themselves. Just take a look at the name of our local off-topic forum for example. However, Bungie has separated itself (for the most part) from Halo. Now they are developing Destiny. While Halo's identity was already formed by the time the community hit its prime, Destiny's is not. The community has had its rhythm for years now. We are looking at Bungie's perfect chance to really integrate the Community into their new universe. This chance only comes once a universe, so it'll be years before they get another. We don't know if it will be big or small, or if at all (Rhymes lol), but considering their history with easter eggs and what not, I feel their is a good chance for the Community to make some appearances in Destiny. What do you think? How would they do this? What would do you think might add? Maybe, just maybe, a lone employee will read your post and bring it up in the studio. You never know. tldr; GTFO. Not sure if kidding. Anyways, new universe, more chances to integrate the community into it than the halo universe had. [Edited on 09.27.2012 2:26 PM PDT]
