Now, I'm not basing this off of a finished product, obviously, but from the trailers and images I have seen so far, Destiny looks a LOT like Halo in quite a few areas. I understand that it is the same development studio and there will be similarities, but I couldn't help but watch the trailer and say things like, "That's a Halo character, that's a Halo vehicle, that's a Halo weapon, that's a Halo location, etc."

I was going to post pictures from the web, but that would make a very large thread. So I will just post a few quick grabs and say what I see similar:

Bubble Shields

 
Banshee

 
Hunters, Assault Rifle, SMG
 
Wraith/Scorpion
 
UNSC Frigates
 
Sniper rifle, various covenant species

That's just part of them. From the trailers (which I could not find good images for), I saw enemies that matched very closely to Halo enemies like crawlers and jackals and the Flood.

I'm not saying this is going to be a bad thing either. I will definitely get this game. I just can't help but see maybe a tad too much of inspiration from their Halo past and was expecting something more unique/original in design.

What do you think? Do you guys see a lot of similarities?
