* UsedFuture: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]], in that most of the major industry that produced new things has long since shutdown and been abandoned. However, among the survivors in TheCity, maintaining, reverse-engineering, and upgrading old technology has become something of an art form. As a result, many of even the standard-issue weapons are old models, lovingly refurbished and keep operational with delicate care. Some of the more exceptional or unique weapons are in turn hand-assembled devices, kitbashed from older things but well-finished and sometimes given elaborate plating and engravings as individual as the artisan gunsmith that built it.

* RevolversAreJustBetter / HandCannon: One of the recurring weapons in trailers is a very large revolver (pictured [[http://destinynews.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-09-at-3.14.04-PM.png here)]] which, as shown in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS1BM9XRgvw the Law Of The Jungle trailer]] ''vaporizes'' enemies. It's also worth noting that the revolvers in this game (And we've only seen them as sidearms so far) are referred to by name as hand cannons.

''Destiny'' is an upcoming [[MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying]] FirstPersonShooter developed by {{Creator/Bungie}} Studios. It's their next big series after ''{{Franchise/Halo}}'', and has been likened to "''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' [[RecycledInSpace in space]]". ''Destiny'' takes place on a post-apocalyptic Earth, where humanity was nearly destroyed by alien foes but was suddenly saved by a mysterious entity known as "the Traveler". The enormous sphere settled above Earth and mankind built a city underneath it to reside in safety. Now they're beginning to spread out, and it's up to you, the Guardians, to defend and expand humanity from the patrolling alien enemies in order for man to return to the stars once again. See the official announcement of it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwOUi4JDC4o HERE]].

Moving some tropes to the character page.


* AdvancedAncientHumans: Sort of. The ancient extinct civilization the game begins after is implied to be our future, but their past.
** Subverted in that "modern" humans have weaponry augmented by the Traveler. Which makes sense, since earlier humans were wiped off the face of the Solar System with their own weaponry.



* AlwaysChaoticEvil: The alien invaders.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: No one knows why the Traveler is aiding humanity.



* HumansAreSpecial: For whatever reason, the Traveler thinks this.



* MeaningfulName: At some point before the events of the game, the Fallen were once a race comprised of multiple noble houses before descending into their current state as nomads and pirates.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Spider Pirates have an extra set of arms.



* SpiderTank: [[http://www.destinypedia.com/images/6/62/Fallen_desktop.jpg This tank]], which is currently named Spider-Tank and is driven by Spider Pirates. It requires a two-man crew and functions as a MightyGlacier.



** The Fallen are also an example, though it isn't yet clear just ''how'' they fell.
