And keep in mind, that's just the stuff that all three settings have in common. If we're looking for mere pairs, the similarities go up much more (Sparrows = Ghosts for instance, or Charlemagne = Traxus IV). This isn't inherantly bad, but I've become increasingly "meh" about ''Destiny'' over the last few months. :(--[[User:Hawki|Hawki]] ([[User talk:Hawki|talk]]) 05:57, 21 July 2013 (EDT) | And keep in mind, that's just the stuff that all three settings have in common.

First of all, nothing in Destiny disintegrates. | |||
...Oh yeah! Rixis! Forgot about him. | |||
Still, a rather isolated incident. | |||
As for the traveler, I'd say that it's completely different from Forerunners or Jjarro. As opposed to some mysteriously missing advanced race, it's a single mysterious sphere that is definitely affecting events. I think it's very much different from Bungie's previous precursors. | |||
On the Cyborg and John, I don't see any big similarity between them and the Guardians other than Guardians being PCs. The Cyborg and Master Chief are seemingly the only ones who can make a difference in their respective stories, but Guardians are regular soldiers. | |||
As for the "Alien Adversaries".... you've gotta be fucking joking, right? That's not exactly exclusive to Bungie, it's a very common trope, and once again Destiny seems to be going in a notably different direction with them than in Halo or Marathon. | |||
As for heavy enemies.... of course there's heavy enemies! Why wouldn't there be! And we haven't even seen any gameplay of them so they might not even play like that! | |||
Ok, a bit of a similarity with the Fallen and Hive, notably more with the Hive. I still expect the Fallen to have a very different society than the Sangheili. | |||
Off topic, but did you even play Marathon? The Pfhor are nothing like the Elites. | |||
On weapons.... | |||
Pistol: Useful pistols? How is that unique? Lots of games have powerful pistols. Most games have those. | |||
Conduit: So.... a weapon that ''might'' be a sidearm and ''might'' be energy based and ''might'' be able to charge? With no evidence for anything except the sidearm one? .... *eye twitches* | |||
Rockets: *mouth begins to foam* OH MY GOD THEY'RE '''ROCKET LAUNCHERS''' THOSE ARE IN '''EVERY FUCKING GAME''' ARE YOU KIDDING ME | |||
