Had this idea for awhile so just an idea for the community to build on!
We all know the game needs more in terms of things to do. A horde mode just makes sense. This would be an idea that hopefully would fit into the world/lore of the game and work as an add-on and not be tooooo difficult to produce.
[b]The horde mode would work as follows..[/b]
The story would begin with the Cryptarchs saying they have found an ancient Vex machine but are unsure what it does. They believe that it will take you directly to a Gatelord. Kill the Gatelords and the Traveler will live another day. You and your ghost (and two other guardians) should go check it out. This will open a 3 person "Strike" horde mode for matchmaking.
In this strike you and your guardian buddies go to Venus and plug the machine into one of the portals (Most likely the same one as the Gatelord mission). Once the guardians enter the portal they are taken to a hub similar to the one in VoG where they have a choice of two portals and a locked portal in the middle. In order to use the machine you must charge it up by charging it up in the portals (just by being in there).
The two portals lead to two random maps already in the game where "horde mode" takes place (there are a ton of these, basically anytime you had to defend your ghost). Except in these portals you are in a different dimension/time so the enemies you fight would be randomly Vex, Cabal, Fallen, or Hive and have random modifiers depending on what wave you are on.
Once 5 waves are beaten on that map you are returned to the hub and chose another portal, taken to another random map already in the game, and the process happens again.
Once 20 waves are beaten the middle portal opens and you use the machine to try and reach the Gatelord. You are instead taken to a random strike boss with random modifiers. Your ghost makes some smart-ass remark about how he miscalculated how to use the machine. Beat the boss and you are then taken back to the hub to try again.
The process goes on again until you hit wave 40. At wave 40 you use the machine to enter the middle portal to fight a bigger, stronger Gatelord (as the one from the story mission) that spawns in any of the boss locations from the strikes.
After you beat that boss the strike is over and you're rewarded with whatever the rng gives you.
The strike could be completed on many different difficulties yielding different rewards for finishing the strike.
It could also give you reputation for the Cryptarch eventually giving you those legendary packages from the post guy
This could also open a lot of bounties such as "make it to wave 26 without dying" etc.
Let me know what you think and give me suggestions! Let's build the idea up!
