This has captured me since I started playing and set my fresh — resurrected — legs at the tower. The banners that hang near and the moss covering buildings in the distance as I attempt to peak over. I was so fixated on the gate that embarrassingly enough, I spent a good amount of my time trying to glitch my over the gate; jumping onto crates, trying to land on the camera planted on the top left wondering what the hell am I doing.
After my long journey as a Guardian was stagnated due to the fact that everything I needed was leveled up to its max potential, The Taken King is announced and the crucible maps are showcased by youtubers invited to play the maps to get a taste and relay those flavors of 'Mayhem' [b][pun][/b] to the community... and there it was....
Right before my eyes I seen it [b]Bannerfall[/b] a crucible pvp map locates right beyond the gate that takes your breathe away with stunning architecture and ease of gameplay perfect for the ultimate crucible match that could stop you in your tracks and pull you closer to it while pulling you closer into gun fire *catches breathe* [b][speaks softly][/b] How do I know banner fall is located beyond the gate? [i]Take a look at this[/i]:

Now I [b][i][u]DON'T[/u][/i][/b] think it is [b]exactly[/b] behind this gate because in that screenshot of Bannerfall there are obvious differences so my theory is that 'Bannerfall' is located in an area behind this gate. As to say that there is a much much larger area to the tower that has been warded off and the crucible map is a portion of what is locked behind.
There are no other large openings/doors that we know of besides this ominous entrance locked away with no word on what it could be or what it once was. So this is my theory and maybe factual statement on the secret of the tower north gate!

Not trying to be "that guy" or anything, but in an interview at E3 this map started playing in the background and the guy from Bungie stated "Bannerfall takes place on a decommissioned tower." Meaning there are multiple towers out there, some just aren't used anymore.
