It's more than likely just a bunch of random shit artists came up with and when the content cutting cleaver came out they just decided to reuse them instead of spending time to design new models/textures.
I'd like to believe that all these little unexplained oddities all amount to something, but I already know the sad truth.
That truth being they were just story boarded concepts that were outright removed and the leftovers were used anyways so they could sell a game.
They've had over 2 years to come up with a narrative, and compared to their previous titles and other AAA series such as mass effect, their attempt at creating lore and PROPERLY implementing it into this game cannot even be described as half-assed. Even calling it quarter-assed is being generous.

They made assets in a certain style ( the OWT style) that all have a cohesive look and theme. These assets are the things you see in the levels. Monitors, power boxes, signage, logos, bushes, really jsut about everything. Once you have a good asset package like: "Mars maps decorations" "Venus Map stuff" " Earth Map assets" etc. They then reuse these assets. This saves time, money, and adds cohesion to the respective words/levels. It's simple level design workflow and done in literally every video game ever made. TL; DR : All companies reuse level assets across multiple maps. Bungie literally has done nothing outside of acceptable norms here.

That's essentially what I said.

Literally what everyone said about the ARG that actually led up to the exotic quest for the outbreak Sooooo don't think you know it all ;)
-
But that's the end of it. And that secret was cracked 24 hours after the raid. If there were anymore connections to be made, they'd have been made already. The rest of all these lore theories are just that. Theories. And that's where the story and secrets end until the next free update or release title. You know it's true.

lol Datto with the help of Reddit coders did a livestream showing probably the first video showing the 4th monitor and it was fairly recently...soooo...yeah..don't be salty

People had outbreak before the first reset. Just because some one recently made a video or streamed doesn't mean the info hasn't been around. I remember all the vog research and countless man hours spent by all sorts of people searching for the 6th chest and activating the portal jump puzzle or whatever the hell only for all of them to find out they were chasing shadows for momths. And don't even start in with xylar

Why do you care what other people do with their time?
-
People can theorize all day if they want to. My issue isn't with them. It's with the writers of the game itself. Anything anyone comes up with that can't be verified via grimoire or in game lore cannot be considered canon. I play the games and watch shows for the story the actual writers came up with, not fanfics and conjecture and destiny has been particularly disappointing in that aspect. However I like shooting enemies so I continue to play.

I recommend taking a break. Why stress yourself or just be mildly depressed about things you don't like when you can do something better?

Edited by bossdonut: 10/14/2016 4:13:28 AMAs I said to the other guy in this comment thread I play because it's a shooter, it's just disappointing to come into the LORE section looking for something interesting only to find out it's not really part of the games story, but some nonsense someone wrote at 3 am.

I've been in the lore community awhile. Long before there was even a lore section in the forums. Alot of stuff the lore community was able to peice together, but others we were collectively surprised by but the parts made sense. Strangely enough bungie plans these things out well in advance.

All of the dot connecting goes back to my point of things that can be verified, but there's a large amount of wild theories that have been thrown around since launch. You could argue that it's merely brainstorming, and there is no judgement in brainstorming, but it usually ends up being fruitless. My point about this thread specifically is that it is more likely than not that these logos and codes are merely recycled assets from development that will ultimately lead no where. I'll happily be proven wrong, but as the saying goes, "I've seen this movie already."
