[b][i]Ourselves...[/i][/b] Well, it has been stated this game is being built to be social. I have a stronger feeling that we, the community, are the one's who must overcome not just our alien threats, but ourselves. We know almost nothing about the factions and how they will shape the game, but we know everything about ourselves. We fight among each other here, in the forums, we have had tension between team mates in our past of Halo, simply because you were unable to get in a Warthog turret? How could destiny be different? Just being in a faction does not make two men friends or foes. This does not mean, however, we cannot bring peace. [b][i]Greed...[/i][/b] If I were to place the greatest reward known to all who lived, deep within a dangerous land, with the largest and fearsome of enemies, a threat so great, no single man could ever hope of finding it... however even if we do unite to a mass and conquer this land, only one would be allowed to take the reward, would we ever obtain it? Would you be willing to go out risk yourself so someone else gets everything while you are left empty handed? do you trust the handler of the reward, whomever it may be, to use it for good or evil? Well lets take a step back from such horror, these are our everyday small-scale events, a few people want some things but it can be a challenge, so we compromise and unite to each get to our goal, but we sometimes shed our own blood and betray our covenants. At times we share the same goal, and fight each other so that we have it for ourselves. Humanly, though rare, we all come together to solve our tensions, these become our guilds, our clans, and factions. so can we overcome our violence, and work together as one? After all, if we become one, then we all win the great reward... [b][i]What We Can't Control...[/i][/b] It was stated in the video that things will happen Bungie cannot totally control... who is to say that it is not nature they state, but us? Regardless of the story role factions will play, the factions WILL become what the social members within make it, and regardless of the engineering of game play mechanics, it WILL be as PvP as any shootout, if we so choose violence for ourselves, if we can, and hopefully we will, find a great enough peace to take the game where it is made to go. --------------- Epilogue to my Opinion: I do understand trolls and absolutely hateful people are always here, being the rouge bandits of our universe. I understand we have our people devoted to working together, and bringing us into a whole, and as social as destiny will become, it is not a new game being made for a decade, it is a universe, and experience that we must cherish and protect. Together.
