My dream is to work at Bungie when I'm older, more specifically as a Raid or Story designer. I created my own raid placed on Venus, and I want to run it through the community to get their opinion before I send a letter with my full ideas to Bungie. It's pretty long, but I think it's worth the read. If you like it, please upvote it, and if you don't, comment how I could make it better! Enjoy!
Part 1- The raid begins with the guardians in control of their ships. Something we've all wanted. Same perspective and mechanics as the mission in Halo Reach where you're flying a Saber defending the space station. It's placed on Venus, around the volcano you can see in the distance from Ishtar Cliffs. Six towers of Vex architecture have risen from the sea of brown water, and each are generating a beam of energy that solidifies at the mouth of the volcano. The goal is to enter the volcano. Once the towers destroyed, the volcano has a spectacular eruption, and then the guardians swoop into the mouth.
Part 2- They find themselves at the bottom of the volcano on an octagonal platform just inches from the boiling blue lava. There are eight doors surrounding the room, each with a path of rocks and vex boxes that they have to jump across to get to. There are a couple Vex in the room. The correct door is always random, and the entire fire team has to stand on 6 plates to see if it is the correct door, and if it is not, they have to go back to the center and try again. It is very easy to get turned around.
Part 3- Once the correct door is entered, they trek along a very thin path along the side of a massive ravine with a lava river at the bottom. There is a door at the end of the path which opens to a huge maze of Vex architecture, crawling with a new kind of enemy and containing many secrets. You also navigate the entire maze in the mode where your Ghost is a flashlight.
Part 4- Once the guardians find the end of the maze, they traverse a small jumping puzzle (similar to the one in the VoG) that goes across the ravine, and they reach a door leading into a grand circular room with stream of lava falling from the middle of the ceiling into the center of the floor. The guardians walk in and the the lava stops flowing. They wait... and wait... and wait... until at last a huge boss emerges from the lava; wheezing, ugly, and making disgusting robotic sounds. It's metal plating is glowing orange with heat, and if touched it will kill you. There are cracks all over the ceiling with bits of brown water dripping out of them (hint hint).
I'm not going to tell you how to beat it, but you can guess as you please. Thanks for reading, I'd really appreciate feedback from the community and up votes so that Bungie can look at it so I'll be on their radar for the future. This will probably just get lost in the abyss of other ideas from this amazing community. I'd be happy if you even read this far, so thank you.
CC31, out.

You blow up the ceiling to cause water to pour down and cool off the boss so you can shoot him.
