Master Chief (Possibly) Spotted in Destiny

An eagle-eyed player has found Master Chief in Destiny! Or at least, a building that sure looks like him.

Redditor SmokingGhost spotted the (possible) Easter egg during Destiny's Mars strike mission. If you stand in the right spot and angle the camera up towards the back side of this particular command center, it looks just like the chief himself.

Er...maybe. Decide for yourself.

WillGuitarGuy4142d ago

Looks more like a green Samus power suit helmet.

FanboyKilla4141d ago

Lol its gone bungie, let it go. Lmfao you didnt need a master chief reference, pretty much everything in destiny screams halo. Its sad really.

dreamed4140d ago

Exactaly....i thought a bungie dev said last week it was liberating to get away from halo....so much so they felt the need to replicate it with destiny.

Gotta admit that picture does look like MC.

Kilo_Brown4141d ago (Edited 4141d ago )

Good find. I wouldn't be surprised if this was done by the bungie guys. I'm sure they're nostalgic at times.

lameguy4141d ago

Bungie guy #1: Hey, you remember when we made stories?
Bungie guy #2: Nope!

EvilWay4141d ago

Bubble up for you my friend

ITPython4141d ago

The way Destiny plays with co-op, I don't think they could have pulled off any more story than they did. Otherwise it would have been horrible for co-op play.

The game was definitely built with co-op in mind first and foremost, so the campaign had to be light and unobtrusive with a main emphasis on taking out swarms of enemies rather than going through cut-scenes and and other additional character/story development methods.

mhunterjr4141d ago

Yeah that's him alright...

They got Masterchief on playstation!

ape0074141d ago (Edited 4141d ago )

Master Chief on PLAYSTATION ????

childhood ruine...errr teenagehood ruined !!!

IC3_DEMON4141d ago

Halo 4 being shit was not the ruining moment for you?

Kingdomcome2474141d ago

I guess I'm in the minority, but I had a chance to play through Halo 4 on a buddies 360. I thought the campaign was good aside from a tad bit monotonous mission structure, but unfortunately that can be said for a lot of today's games. That multiplayer on the other hand... I'm glad they're jumping off the COD train for Halo 5, and returning to a 4v4 arena style.

Nicxel4141d ago (Edited 4141d ago )

Halo 4 wasn't shit, there was just no replay value and we all (most of us) wanted the old multiplayer structure from Halo 2/3.

If I were to compare Halo Reach Campaign/Multiplayer, I would say Halo 4 stomps both. The only plus with Halo Reach multiplayer was the Arena...even that ended up failing though.

TheCagyDies4141d ago (Edited 4141d ago )

Halo 4 was good but the level sizes and the enemies on screen weren't as big as Halo 3. Don't you remember going into Halo 3, exit a tunnel and a huge scarab would just walk over you, and in the distance you see tanks fighting brute choppers and wraiths, you would just join up with them and fight in a huge battlefield.

Loved the story of Halo 4, I thought 343 told a better tale than Bungie and the graphics were impressive. Master Chief felt more human than he ever did then Halo 1,2,3.

The MP was CODified, I agree.

Hopefully with Halo 5, we get massive areas with a lot of AI to fight and they already confirmed they are going back to the arena style -everybody starts out the same- gameplay.

iNFAMOUZ14141d ago (Edited 4141d ago )

Halo4 wasn't bad at all, wtf?
as a true halo fan from the marathon days to halo 1-4 and that abysmal reach, halo 4 was what halo 3 should have been. It was one of the best of the series.
I haven't had so much fun with multiplayer since halo 2, until halo 4 came out. Although I agree, they need to remove all the extra perk loudouts, the game was a master piece, I keep scratching it though by accident lol, i've already bought like 3 or 4 copies lol, i need another one too LOL.

VealParmHero4141d ago (Edited 4141d ago )

@etackett ...sorry bout the disagree, touchscreen, hit the wrong one, meant to agree.

@OP...halo 4 was far from s***. It was an awesome game and a solid first attempt. That being said, it lost a lot of the original halo spirit( it was still a halo game at heart tho), and that pissed a lot of us off. I hope the mp is back to basics this time tho, and I do hope the campaign feels a bit more open, kind of how etackett posted above.

XBLSkull4141d ago

Reach was terrible, invasion game type was awesome but that is about it. Halo went from best to worst while in the hands of bungie (meaning 1>2>3>Reach) but really only reach was bad. 4 gave new life to the franchise and also had the best graphics of last console generation. I'm betting when we see H4 in 1080p60 it will actually look better than destiny on Ps4/X1.

ape0074141d ago (Edited 4141d ago )

man i was just joking, no way u didn't see that

and halo 4 being sh!t, sir may i ask you, do u sh!t gold in the bathroom ???

Rachel_Alucard4141d ago

I can't understand how everyone says Halo 4 was good despite the QTE final boss and terrible forced death of a main character at the start of a new trilogy.

Master chief was slightly out of character too as he talked way more in halo 4 than he did any previous entry. The enemies were also very boring to fight annoying, and unsatisfying to kill. Also, why did all the covenant suddenly stop speaking english? The armor according to bungie comes with an intelligence boost to understand alien language, so wtf?

Multiplayer was CODlo with dull weapons and the same maps voted over and over again.

343 are complete jackasses on the forums to top it off too, with a never responding, always banning attitude.

I've stated these points many times to people and have yet to hear any particular facts about why Halo 4 was good. Ask anyone on anyone on any Halo fan-site or wherever and they will tell you the same thing.

if you put in some imagination it could count as an easter egg. Maybe this is as far as they could go.

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses

Reaper22_501d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981500d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140500d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85500d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj500d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman500d ago (Edited 500d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake500d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn500d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg500d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07500d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom500d ago

Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!

XBManiac500d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake500d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark500d ago

Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.

However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.

How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.

"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"

Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.

DarXyde500d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125500d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
