Horde Mode. Your fire team defeats enemies that comes in waves, and in the final one you get to fight a boss.
Boss Rush Mode. Your fireteam defeats bosses solely.
Competitive. Your fireteam races another fireteam to seek out which team defeats more enemies than other.
Survival Mode. Like Horde Mode, only endless.
I personally think that the Arena mode will be something like a Horde Mode, but a Boss Rush Mode seems plausible too.

Clearly stated in the stream that there's an objective to it. So something different.
-
I'm expecting something like the Nephalem Rifts from Diablo-- an end game activity with randomly generated dungeons and waves of bad guys. The tougher the bad guy, the better the loot. All random, all RNG.

another PVP/Crucible Debacle.

Edited by Pixel Crisis: 4/20/2015 12:57:02 PMSince they've already stated that they got some ideas from Borderlands, I'm thinking a mix of BL2 like Arena / Digistruct Peak type fighting. As Beebing noted below - I'm sure there will be pods like the one the Archon Priest comes out of for the Winter's Run Strike. Since it's a Cell From the Prison of Elders! Also, they apparently get imprisoned with guns lol

Remember Halo:Reach and 3 & 4 Horde? Bingo. And I can hardly wait.
-
I'm hoping for a procedurally generated dungeon mode, different every time you play.
-
Can't wait.

Defend the DinkleBot Doorknob 2.0 probably. That's what I expect anyway. What I'm hoping for is a DmC Bloody Palace style survival mode.

Watch the movie gladiator...

arena = garbage

Edited by tatesmus: 4/17/2015 6:28:39 PMI would actually be ok with any of them. I have a heck of a time finding more than three to play with, and rarely get to play for more than an hour or two at a time, so any of the above would be worth it to me.
-
I think because it's called the prison of elders it will be a boss rush mode. Maybe ultras with randomly generated fallen names
-
Edited by Swiftlock: 4/17/2015 2:08:18 PMI'm still burnt that only fireteams of 3 are allowed. A horde mode with a fireteam of 6 and insanely huge gunfights against legions of mobs and bosses would've been delicious. Hell, they could've slapped a "raid" sticker on that and may have gotten away with it.
-
Isn't there a PS newsletter that explains what most things in HoW are? Essentially it outted The Arena as a horde mode, fighting waves of ever increasing tougher baddies
-
You forgot the "All of the above" choice. I know this probably won't be the case initially, but in due time, the arena will be a grand thing.
-
I believe it is going to be a similar intro as a raid. Then you will get to the prison of elders. Where there will be let's just say 40 capsules. Each is going to open up first one then two at a time ect. With adds all around as well. Fighting about 20 capsules in all. Getting farther before killing the last boss with 2 other capsules at the same time, farther you get the better the rewards. That's how I have it in my mind. Have to wait and see though

Guessing a mode similar to the arenas in borderlands 2
