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

You don't like Rift? I think Rift is the most fun crucible type.
-
DO IT. Love the zombies game type. The Taken would fit perfectly.
-
Would the taken be super strong?
-
This sounds amazing, I would play the hell out of this
-
This would be really fun, definitely would make PvP more exciting
-
Sounds dank af :0
-
I've always missed these kinds of zombie gamemodes and just pure fun gamemodes.
-
Sounds cool. I would play this way more then rift which I really only play when it is the daily. I loved playing flood and it would be pretty sweet to be a taken guardian.
-
Awwsome
-
sounds cool.
-
Sounds awesome
-
So basically infected? So unoriginal

[quote]Captain blinding bubble of bullshit[/quote] Most accurate thing i've read about the taken
-
I hated zombies in Halo but i hate rift more, screw rift, give us anything but rift.
-
Yes. Also a version of rift with only swords with unlimited ammo. [spoiler]grifball without hammers[/spoiler]

Thats juggernaut...

I used to play a lot of pvp, but after 2.0 dropped it wasn't fun because we had low intellect and low discipline and it just felt bland. Then TTK dropped and we were introduced to cheesable rift, a lot of spawn trapping and the spawn takes a million years. Everyone was playing clash instead of the objective. Made it boring. Mayhem is fun, but it doesn't seem like it will be available often. Zone control is terribly boring, because everyone is still trying to play clash in a game mode where kills don't count. Crucible went from bad to worse, glad they fixed the weapon glancing s bit. But game modes are not worth it

Sound awesome but sadly I cannot take guardians. You see, you are resurrected with light, you are undead, and my powers only work on the living...

Edited by High Charity: 9/25/2015 4:57:42 PMMake it a 2XP playlist every few weekends. Infection saved Halo's multiplayer? How dumb are you?
-
Sounds fun
-
Would probably play.

Halloween edition

The only real problem I see with this is fitting it into the Lore. A quick and easy way to do it would probably be to say "it's non-canonical" and boom, done.
