Bungies new IP: Destiny, not to be confused by its predecessor Halo. Is about a group of physically/mentally enhanced super soldiers that have to fight off a diverse threat. The background is Humanity expanded making colonies until they met a cataclysmic event. Now you fight off diverse array of aliens working for the destruction of the last stronghold of humanity, slowly encroaching over human colonies. And there is a strange enigmatic higher alien species surrounded with awe and mystery whom you're not sure of the side of, but leave gigantic alien artifacts/weapons lying around.
Not to be confused with Halo.
Halo had flood.
Destiny doesn't.
Maybe.

It's going to be hard for Halo fans to not want to change Destiny into Halo. You can already see it scattered throughout this forum and on Halo specific forums on the confusion of what Destiny represents to them.
