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.

Looks more like a green Samus power suit helmet.

[DeathOfTheFanBoy]

Looks like John-117 to me...

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.

[dreamed]

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_Brown]

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

[lameguy]

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

[konnerbllb]

Perfect.

[EvilWay]

Bubble up for you my friend

[ITPython]

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.

[mhunterjr]

Yeah that's him alright...

They got Masterchief on playstation!

[MEGANE]

lol

[ape007]

Master Chief on PLAYSTATION ????

childhood ruine...errr teenagehood ruined !!!

[IC3_DEMON]

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

[Kingdomcome247]

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.

[Nicxel]

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.

[TheCagyDies]

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.

[iNFAMOUZ1]

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.

[VealParmHero]

@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.

[XBLSkull]

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.

[ape007]

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_Alucard]

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.

[equal_youth]

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

[iNathan]

hahaha

[Vladplaya]

That is very clever Easter egg. *slow clap*

[thejigisup]

Looks to much like him for it to be just a coincidence. I don't know how many times I've done that mission without seeing this or making the connection. Good find.

[CaspuR]

im pretty sure you and the rest of the people that played destiny done THAT mission ALOT

@TRD4L1fe.

are you trying to convince me or yourself im not to sure

[Gr1mmyshadows]

And it doesn't get boring

[UnwanteDreamz]

Im lvl 20 and havent done that. If you are fonna hate in something mifht want to know a little about it before the trolling.

[CaspuR]

@unwantedreamz Im level 24, i probably played destiny more than you have.

[buttclown]

I am level 24 trying to grind and get better gear and more vanguard marks and rank, I have done this strike the least of the other ones but have done each of them a lot.

[Funantic1]

All of Halo is in Destiny accept the fun part.

[Double Toasted]

Umm hmmm......😕😒

[HappyWithOneBubble]

LOL Bungie playing mind games on the Halo fanboys.

[jrshankill]

How about Bungie remembering when they made a good game?

Halo > Destiny

[Umbasa]

Looks like an X1 screen shot, just over the gun is an x button prompt to revive someone off screen.

[IQUITN4G]

Well of course it's chief

[markyboy2181]

this game is such an overated hyped up peice of utter garbage n such a grinding bore fest

[akurtz]

Slow down buddy. Dont be rude.

[UnwanteDreamz]

What do your parents say when you throw fits? Come on I know you do.

[jmc8888]

lol I saw that and thought of it too. But didn't give it too much thought. I kind of expected stuff like this to crop up.

[Kevin26385]

A video tutorial on how to get to the tower to see the easter egg for yourself:

[Codewow]

A nice ode to their first great franchise.

[Trekster_Gamer]

If he was spotted he would be saying "WTF" am I doing in this boring repetitive game!!!

[user367272]

He is searching for the Guardians..opps wrong game. 😄

[gamer_fantastic]

He has always been in boring generic games with his garbage personality.

[GeofferyPeterson]

"Hey look it's Master Chief. Let's skull fuck him to death."

[DoggyBiscuit]

I'm surprise M$ haven't sued yet

[Stig2k]

Blatant tribute. :P

[Adolph Fitler]

"Hey, you remember when we made stories?"

Hey Lameguy, remember when we played video games for FUN?
You people & your desire for academy award winning stories in shooters make me laugh,... It's a FPS for Christ sakes...The best shooters of all time weren't on that level due to story, what makes the most fun fps's, is the way the game controls, feels, how the weapons feel to fire, how the weapons feel translates when bullets rip through enemies, or explode there heads, like pumpkins....as well as the environments, draw distances, graphics, sound, effects, & basically just that feeling of satisfaction & fun.... Destiny delivers on ALL these fronts, I care not what anyone says, as I own the game, & I love the way the game feels & plays.... It is definitely a AAA+ fps, that unfortunately has one HUGE, HUGE, HUGE, fault, an Achilles heel of epic proportions.....& that unforgivable fault, for mine, is the stupid a$$ decision, by the powers that be, at either Cashtivision, and/or Bungie, to make this game fricken ONLINE ONLY...

This does major sales damage for THREE HUGE reasons:
1. Some people are unable to connect there machine, due to things like area availability, parents not willing to allow there kids consoles to be online, & simply people who HAVE NEVER, & HAVE NEVER had the desire to want there console online, or to play games online...So, there is a massive range of consumers that will overlook this game for that very reason. That is huge numbers of people, that WILL NOT support Bungie's new, awesome, but gimped title.

2. There are masses like myself, that despise this new business, rip off tactic, & THEY WILL NOT BUY the game, these can be disgruntled FORMER Bungie & Halo nuts, that expected that single player, B-movie-esque, single player campaign, that Bungie were always renowned for. So, there goes millions of potential sales, that could have been avoided by Bungie putting some more emphasis on appeasing this crowd, with some repetitive, silly, story bases missions, that were solely designed for that single player experience, & required NO ONLINE connectivity AT ALL.

3. Then you have a bunch of butthurt avid MS fanboys, & former Bungie fanboys, who thought that Bungie & the Halo series, were the 2nd coming of Christ, & with Sony & Bungie's new game, having closer affiliations than with MS, plus the already mentioned above 2 reasons combined, these guys are that passionate, to the point of slight retardation, that they will refuse to buy ANYTHING from Bungie, EVER AGAIN.... There are Sony fanboys with the same mental issues.

BUT, people are becoming more aware & tolerance is starting to waver, as the series is at a stalemate, & seems to lack the passion & brilliance of the original COD4, as well as Black Ops, & WAW.
Destiny really should have shipped with the always online concept, an option, rather than what it did. I really hope & pray that they do a patch/update for the game, & it allows us to play the game offline, campaign, or dm, tdm, ctf, etc, etc, competitive multiplayer, & also allow it to have drop in, drop out, AI bots to fight with & against, If this happened, I would be willing to pay another $10-$15au, for this much needed feature to be added, as well as some extra content, like multiplayer maps & missions to justify the extra expense. And if future disks shipped with all these mentioned features, the game would garner more sales, obviously...Bungie really missed the opportunity they were hoping for, by going multiplat, & that is, to broaden there chances of getting more sales.. This game could have been THE BIGGEST selling game of all time, with ONLY the emission of the ALWAYS ONLINE, criminal-esque business decision.
