Poster 1
[url=http://imgur.com/DEULn7g]Poster 2[/url][spoiler]*A Wild Gringo has appeared*[/spoiler]
This needs no intro. You all have seen the Destiny 2 poster that is all but confirmed legit. That being said, assuming it is indeed official material, lets dissect the ever living -blam!- out of it to see if we can predict anything we can about Destiny 2. Also possible spoiler warning but the chances of this spoiling minor points of Destiny 2.
[b]Traveler and Location[/b]
So firstly it appears the Traveler is in the background. This is much more apparent in Poster 1 than 2, simply because of the bending of poster 2. Now this could mean a couple of things location wise. Firstly it could be the Last City, over which the Traveler currently resides. As we know though, the Last City resides in a temperate region marked by mountains, snow, and lush expanses of pine trees. The area on the poster is, however, is flat, dusty, and devoid of fauna. Now with the Traveler above, that either means the Traveler has left the City or something seriously bad happened to it. Seeing that the climate seems arid and there are those oil pumps in the background, I would care to wager that if it isn't the City, it is probably either the American Southwest or the Middle East. Or it could just be another planet/ moon.
[b]Weapons[/b]
So on the right is a blatant Suros shotgun. It is much better on Poster 2 but there is no denying it. In the middle we see what is certainly an Omolon weapon, namely with the logo pronounced on the magazine/ canister. It shares a resemblance to the only Omolon Auto Rifle in game, Hard Light. It would stand to reason then that this could be an Auto Rifle. That being said, it does bear an unusual resemblance to [url=http://imgur.com/8AWnMVi]Halo's Railgun[/url] and I think Bungie would be crazy to not add new weapon types. Plus if someone was gonna make railguns in Destiny, it would be Omolon. On the left is a handcannon (Maybe sidearm but it seems too large). It has a distinctive look that seems similar to Suros but the paint job is off. It is either: a blue variation of Suros, an exotic with an ornament, a new foundry, or some random weapon.
[b]Classes and Armor[/b]
So front in center is a Titan. No ifs ands or buts about it. On the right appears to be a warlock with the long flowing ground. On the right seems to be a Hunter, and knowing Destiny is keeping the three classes that seems the case. It is hard to see but there appears to be a cloak. It should also be something of note that their helmets are off but I doubt that is anything more than marketing.
[b]Misc.[/b]
Beta
PS4 exclusives
September 8 release
There is a ship in the background. It isn't clear but it seems to be Human, Fallen, or some unknown thing.
So what do you think? Do you think it is real or an elaborate fake?

Edited by BannedMythicAccount: 3/25/2017 7:52:01 PMWe all know Destiny 2 will sell like crazy when the game comes out. The problem is, they will no doubt have sold less by a significant amount, thanks to the player base that's lost with Destiny 1 and those who won't consider the sequel because of how Destiny 1 was maintained. Which is a huge loss to what could have been even more profit. Titanfall 1 had a similar problem but TF2 is slowly regaining traction because it's actually a really well made game, however had they got the PR and gaming community backing on launch, it would have sold a shit ton more, enough to keep a momentum going for months and potentially years. Destiny 2, won't have that. For players like me, it's already dead on arrival and I know thats an entirely bias comment to make, but that's gained from the Destiny 1 experience. I know a huge majority of people specifically year 1 pvp players who feel this way. and that right there, is the biggest shame about the release of Destiny 2. Pretty much the reversal of a Halo 2 release situation. Starting a game announcement with negative PR due to negative expectations gained from a negative experience from the progression of D1 through the years. I really think Acti-Bungie needs to get a team together that can really analyse the community properly and understand when a fault needs a REVERSAL after a decision that was made due to pressure was enforced but turn out to make the over game WORSE for the community as a whole. The biggest start would be to actually engage and actually have a daily destiny player on board who is willing to critise bungie without fanboy appeal on a topic. Someone who actually cares about playing the game. Having community managers like Deej for example led to a massive disconnect between Destiny players and the rest of the community, it was unavoidable that the dude was going to come across as a unsincere when he would be like 'i understand your frustrations about x and y' when its clear the dude doesn't even play or even understand what x and y is. That kind of disconnect on a million dollar+ product towards a community of literal thousands is actually ridiculous and just further highlights what went wrong with D1 moving forward. People involved in this game are clearly in this bubble of 'it sold well' therefore we can do anything and we do everything right! Not really understanding that one of the biggest if not main factors to why this game sold so well was because of the establishment and connection as a studio that Bungie had with HALO. The arrogance was the downfall and it continues to be seen today.
