Bungie's "next game", according to various sources a non-Halo universe game currently being worked on by a small team inside Bungie, including studio head Jason Jones and lead programmer Chris Butcher. Later revealed to be codenamed "Destiny".

What kind of game is Destiny?

Bungie calls Destiny a "shared" first person shooter. It will require an always-on Internet connection and allow players to interact in ways that are intended to be both more pervasive and seamless than traditional online FPS or MMOFPS games.

It will not have a subscription fee and is not considered an MMO by Bungie.

Bungie employees described a style of play that might best be categorized as drop-in, drop-out coop with no lobbies or menus, similar to the Sony PlayStation 3 title Journey.

Traveler's Rest

The mysterious, spherical Traveler hovers above humanity's last city after saving them from destruction by alien forces.

The missing portions near the bottom of the sphere almost makes me think that humanity has in part built their city by removing pieces of metal from the Traveler.

As the huge, unknown artifact of Destiny, the Traveler would seem to be taking on the titular role in Halo.

Beneath-- and possibly reaching up towards-- the Traveler is the Tower, presumably a non-combat area where Guardian players will interact with each other.
