Destiny needs an epic weather system. We had some sick thunder storms in Southeastern Utah today, and it got me thinking. Wouldn't it be amazing to stalk a patrol of Fallen warriors through the jungles of Venus during a heavy rainstorm? Visibility would be poor, you would be able to see the rain running down your visor. Water would be dripping from the trees and buildings. It would all be very atmospheric, no?
Here's another one. You get caught in a blinding sandstorm on the surface of Mars. You can barely see where you are going, when you stumble upon a Cabal unit taking cover in the shell of an old building. You look at them, they look at you. You then proceed to duke it out while you can barely see one another!
Okay, one last scenario. You are exploring the wilds of Earth at night. A menacing thunderstorm proceeds to roll overhead. It becomes quite dark, to the point where you have to use your Ghost's light and periodic flashes of lightning to keep your bearings. Then, as the wind howls through your cloak, Hive start to pour from every crevice. The once familiar landscape is transformed into a dark shadow of fear and darkness. As you struggle to survive, and are about to overwhelmed, you see another light peek over the crest of the hill. Another Guardian! Together you fend off the relentless enemy and retreat back to the safety of the Tower.
I'm just saying, weather would make familiar landscapes feel new, different, and exciting. Everything would become a hundred times more atmospheric and awesome, leaving players craving another chance to have another epic opportunity. If any one else has a cool weather situation you would like to share, feel free to do so! Let's see how many different ideas we can build up!

Bump! It really should happen. Lots of great ideas in this thread. They should do something to make the planets feel more "alive" than just a lifeless arena for us to fight in

Edited by LordSnoz007: 8/8/2014 9:18:19 AMAnyone remember the night mission in reach. That has to be one of my favorite gaming experiences ever. Because it really made you want to change your play style. Dark = Quiet. So I fully support this. Bump bump bump! P.S. Maby implement the night vision visor again for really dark areas as an alternative to the ghost flash light?

Holy cow, I can't believe this thread is still alive! It's been about eight months since I originally posted this. Dang.

BUMP :D

BUMP!!! This needs to happen. The weather system they have at the moment isn't the best. There needs to be something to change up the game play. This would also make PVP more interesting for myself let alone others.

In the Future There is no weather and no Facial Hair....thats what Bungie thinks

Crazy cool space storms and shit!! In PvP and PvE would be epic!! Imagine facing a horde of fallen and while just before you pounce they get taken out by some freak lightning strike !!! ( picturing crazy color lighting)

How UNIQUE and ORIGINAL. Goddamnit people, try thinking of something besides repeating the same shit.

I like this idea. What about an exploding volcano on Mars raid?

I thought the game was gonna have weather, I'm sure they said it was gonna. Oh well I guess.

They could do this only for the next gen consoles. The frame rates will cause the last gen systems to shit the bed. Originally, the enemy dropships were destructive. Hence the hit box surrounding the ship when it's lit up with the Thorn. Bungie or Activision decided to scrap this so that all gamers would experience the same game regardless of their system. The current economic conditions slowed the popular progression into the next gen systems.
