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]

Edited by DARKNiTE195: 10/14/2015 6:30:20 PMWould be fun, but OP for arc sword with range
-
Yup but no exotic swords
-
THIS!
-
No exotic swords either to prevent from everybody using bolt caster
-
There is no skill in sword on sword combat
-
Blink will beat bolt caster (sorry Titans). Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge
-
All sword fights are won by a boltcaster because range
-
Bump!
-
-
-
K. I'll be wrecking with bolt caster then. :)
-
Signed
-
No. One reason why. Infinite bolt casters.
-
Edited by SergioTheSlayer: 10/14/2015 4:36:51 PMNo. Swords parry too easily.
-
Yes, this. And upon a fallen comrade, you could fall to your knees in sorrow before either being overtaken by the blade of yet another enemy or rising with your edge ready to clever heart from bone and soul from body.
-
The arc exotic sword would be too op
-
That would be nice
-
Two problems I see 1) not everyone has a sword (although this is kinda mute as I can't imagine why you would want to get one) 2) This one is more important, is the defending against other swords. I think that in order to stop 1 hit kills shields would need to be buffed a lot and your jump height + agility is increased. I would also tweak it for individual classes so Hunters have the highest agility buff Warlocks have the Highest Jump buff Titans have the highest Armour buff The last thing I would make is that when your super is charged it creates a jump and smash for non exotics, and for exotics it produces there normal super move so as a means to avoid this being spammed. Overall I am all for this, especially as I am a sword fighter (Fencing) so anything that is honorable combat suits me.
-
Ice cream cone death match. If sword ammo was available people would just block and swing till they ran out anyway.
-
We need more game modes like in halo, just for having fun, like griffball. Swords only would be sweet. They should also have game modes where they give u temporary weapons to use too.
-
That would make that step of the exotic sword quest a joke, but it would be fun.
-
Hilts only
-
Slappers only!!

Me and my friends have been saying this since sword were added.

Enable the nightfall buff for Guardian shields to take massive damage but don't charge, and you've got yourself a bad ass gametype.
