Halo Stats Affect Destiny Experience?

In reading yesterday's Mail Sack, I noticed that DeeJ implied there might be some perks or benefits in Destiny for having played Bungie's Halo. [quote]With the rebuild of Bungie.net, we’ve sort of wiped that slate clean for you. Destiny (and the online experiences that will support it) will provide brand new opportunities for you to distinguish yourself as a rare and unique snowflake who kicks ass in a living world. The great feats you achieved in Halo may yet impact your legacy as a player of Bungie games. We still have a database with billions of rows of player data, and we’re not afraid to use it. [/quote] This quote made me laugh because it's pure [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublespeak]doublespeak[/url]. I mean DeeJ's job is akin to being PressSec for [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POTUS]POTUS[/url] and the Bungie Community is like the WH Press Corps, trying to cajole the slightest bit of information every Mail Sack and ravenously dissecting every word. DeeJ starts out by talking about a clean slate but finishes with we have your Halo stats and we might use them. Classically ambiguous! First question this quote brings to mind is would any perks be exclusive only to Xbox users? It's easy to assume that since the only confirmed multiplayer service Halo and Destiny shared was XBL but since you can link multiple accounts to your Bungie.next account, this may not necessarily be the case. Personally, I don't care either way but what do you think? Second, what do you think an appropriate reward would be for all your Halo feats? In Reach, it was icons on your multiplayer tag. However, with no lobbies to wait in, that's out. Special armor is one option but I think I would like to see something such as a space ship or a weapon. Who thinks Tigerman? Lol. It's early and Bungie maybe considering different opinions, so now is definitely the time to voice your opinion.
