After seeing this picture of a Taken Guardian on DeviantArt I had an idea.
Yes Griffball and Bungieball have legacy status in the company and is the product of the community's brainchild but Rift is lackluster.
Zombies in CoD and Flood in Halo saved the multiplayer experience for these games.
Destiny needs a gametype that mimics that using the Taken lore/mechanics.
12 man rumble free for all
1 starts off as a Taken Guardian only capable of using Modified Taken Nades/Melee/Super and attempts to infect the rest of the players.
Nade = Axiom bolt similar to Taken Centurion or the Area Denial Fire bombs that the Knights throw
Melee = Phalanx (lulz)
Super = Captain blinding bubble of bullshit
Thoughts on this gametype?
EDIT1: wow this is more popular than i thought
here is poll thread https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/156319354

I like the idea, but I don't think that it should be an infection/Flood gametype. Personally I'd want to see the return of Juggernaught from Halo, using your ideas for Taken abilities, (maybe make different ones depending on the class?) where the other players are trying to kill them to steal the Taken abilities.

It would be cool to have a survival mode for Crucible. Where you fight taken and bosses and every wave gets harder like endless waves, and the higher wave you get the better the rewards
-
I do rike zombies...^-^... Honestly though didn't even think of this but an infected guardian style multiplayer mode would be a blast
-
Maybe guardians can't be taken because they are ones with the light
-
-
no lol
-
They need to have the original phalanx melee that launches you out of the atmosphere if you're against a wall.
-
Sooo... Flood. So destiny can be more like halo. Maybe a four player mode against npc taken zombies. Otherwise, no thanks.

Captain bubble bs should be our gun

I thought you were petitioning for PvEvP, which I would jump to agree with.

Whoa whoa whoa are you talking about an infection-type game mode? [spoiler]you. I like you[/spoiler]
-
The destiny version of zombies...keep going.
-
Except Guardians cannot be taken, as Oryx cannot Take the dead. It explains it in grimoire somewhere.
-
And we get to play it once a month like every other fun game type.
