[b]Dear Bungie[/b] [I]Competitive Multiplayer Dept.[/I]
I. Love. Crucible. It has a nice variety of playlists that hit a bunch of player types, sure there are some things that need tweaking, but I'm not here to talk about that, What I'm here to talk about is the return of a teamSWAT-like playlist. I think that this is missing from crucible. A Modest sized, quick paced playlist that showcases raw skill instead of subclass/armor/weapon building prowess. What I mean to say is, we need a [i]vanilla[/i] playlist. A no frills, top notch vanilla. This is what it could be:
____________________________
Game Type: [b]Riot[/b]
Players: 4v4 (8 total)
Time Limit: 12 min
Score limit: First team to 25 kills, wins. (not sure how to word this in terms of the already established point system)
[b]Player Attributes:[/b]
Motion Tracker: Disabled
Supers: Disabled
Grenades: No grenades on spawn. However cooldown begins on spawn, stay alive and you will earn use of one (1) grenade
Melees: Disabled (aka, no Storm Fist, no Throwing Knife, no Scorch etc, just a standard [i]uncharged[/i] melee)
Health: 0x shield multiplier, 150% damage resistance, Health regen Disabled.
[b]EDIT Jumps:[/b] secondary jumps disabled. that is, no lift, no blink, no glide etc. just a standard single jump.
[b]Gear Attributes:[/b]
Armor: Perks and Attributes Disabled (cosmetic differences only)
Weapons: Pulse Rifles, Scout Rifles, and Side Arms only. Perks and Attributes Disabled. Each class of weapon has a uniform baseline damage rating within its respective class. (cosmetic differences only)
Ammunition: Infinite ammo in reserve. However not bottomless, you will need to expend clips and reload.
[b]EDIT[/b] Exotic armor and Guns could even be Disabled all together.
[b]Environment:[/b]
Vehicles: Disabled
Environmental Hazards: Enabled (aka, those exploding cubes, the exploding fuel cell things from cabal levels, and those exploding Spherical batteries from fallen areas. This would add a need for spatial awareness, and if placed in areas prone to camping, these hazardous objects would deter players from exploiting those locations)

I haven't thought of every scenario, and I know this might be impossible to code into destiny with the armor/weapon hierarchy you have implemented, but this would be a wonderful game type, that a lot of your seasoned fans would love to see comeback, and newer fans would love to jump into as well. Thankyou for taking your time to read this. Have a good one.
[b]Now 7Th column lay it on me! Like? Hate? What do you think!?[/b]

Or just get rid of PVP and we will eliminate all nerf treads and we will finally be able "to become legend". As long as there is PVP, we won't be legend lok

Edited by ands2: 8/1/2015 10:23:32 PMSwat was the absolute best, as was infection, those two I would love to see return. Destiny is too focused on being canonical in every mode, which makes it not fun, I want fun modes back. Bump
-
Definitely would be an amazing to the Crucible. I would also love an actual Capture The Flag game type, as well as something similar to Infection, maybe with Taken Guardians or something.
-
LOVED Swat mode. Played it more than actual halo multiplayer regular mode. I would like to see a mode like this where all class abilities and radar is removed. Even to the point to where everyone has a Shingen C, no special, and that's the only way you can get kills (besides your melee)
-
I sucked at swat and this sounds fun!
-
Sorry to me it sounds boring.
-
Love the idea, but I feel like it should only be scout rifles and sidearms. Also, the playlist would be HoW only, since you need HoW for sidearms. Also, I would say Vestian Dynasty only, since with Dreg's Promise you can spamspamspam. Take away the perks and have only sights for weapons.
-
Swat was definitely my game type so yes please.
-
Too many restrictions especially on weapons
-
I like it, swat was one of my favorite game types

Edited by Mojo1965: 8/1/2015 12:42:12 PMI loved SWAT. This sounds fun. The only part I disagree with is the limitations on weapon types. Bungie has stressed that they don't want players to be limited in which guns they choose. I don't think it would be a problem to allow the other weapon types. I know that was intended for the Halo players such as myself, but as much as I love Halo, Destiny is a totally different game.
-
That would be awesome. Even if they just made a mode without supers and shields that would be really great. I would play in the crucible again.

Edited by R0meo4125: 8/1/2015 4:33:55 PMScout rifles as dmr and pulse Rifle as br. And vestian dynasty, so more people use that gun.

Edited by Qwerty: 8/1/2015 5:40:21 PMSWAT was my favorite gamemode and would, without a doubt in my mind, breathe life back into my Destiny experience. Just watch out everyone else, I'm kind of the best at SWAT.

Bump!
