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]

Needs to have another objective besides killing, otherwise this could go stale pretty quickly... But I like it!!!
-
Riftball. Swords Only. No Supers. No Abilities. Two goals opposite sides of the room. One spark mid.... you know where this is going.

Why not just melee weapons in general? They need to start adding more. Hammers. - Very slow to hit. VERY PROMISING RESULTS. Shields (Like the relic in VoG. More of a support thing. Axes. -Shockwave type damage. Like the arc blades razor edge. What? I want a goddamn battle hammer. Plus I love melee weapons.
-
griffball plz
-
What about the ark exotic one that would be completly op in it
-
anyone with a bolt caster would be damn near unbeatable, otherwise it sounds like it would be a fun mode to go to if you just wanted to screw around and have fun
-
Yes I would love this.
-
Sounds fun
-
-
Add in a rift type thing and essentially make it grifball!!!

We need a spectator mode so I can be like.
-
Medal idea. "Death by 1000 cuts" claim 20 blade kills without dying.
-
-
-
i like the swords only mode. just like the way ive been asking for melee only in cod.
-
-
Love to see a game with only swords
-
Bolt-Caster would wreck the others. Only one with range.
-
Harakiri should be an option as well
-
No, sword vs sword combat is terrible.
-
Better idea. Swords have increased physics impulses, and then we play with decreased gravity so people can go flying but still live. Have it all in a big flat open arena. And throw some rift in there. The bomb spawns in the middle and you race towards it, while avoiding getting sworded to death and launched across map. Everyone gets the same sword with unlimited ammo. Then you try to get it across map to score. In honor of my dear friend, griff, I propose we name this sport griff ball. What do you guys think?
