With the influx of new emotes, and six different swords, there really isn't a reason not to have a Swords only crucible match. No supers, grenades or melees. All guns are barred, unlimited sword energy.
I mean, think about it, you see a guy 50 feet away, you both bow, and then commence an epic duel. Sword logic. Not only would this be a nice change from the tedium and repetition of the same game modes with smaller teams or flags, but it would give you the chance to test your skills in sword combat.
Come on, try to tell me it wouldn't be cool to do the "bring it on" emote and then enter combat with another guardian.
We need a different type of game mode, and this one would be fun and refreshing.
[spoiler]And I'm not the first to think of this. I just want to stress the point that WE NEED THIS IN OUR LIVES. Thank you for your time.[/spoiler]

Yes! Reminds me of the great days of energy swords only :)

I would agree only if the clash of 2 swords didn't just end in the instant death of both parties. Plus lunge goes too far to be viable as an infection mode with Bungie's coridoor shooting. Maybe if they had a sword-clash mechanic when two hit eachother instead of just blocking being the only way to live.

Would be inserting to have some sort've relic / sword gamemode. Maybe a infected gamemode where the zombies get swords.

Yes we must have

OP is requesting swordfights. I'm not particularly fond of the idea, but whatever tickles your fancy.
-
I can see the Bolt-Casters now...

Yes please

Arc swords. Arc swords everywhere.
