[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
