Urban Warfare

Imagine this: your guardian is taking a stroll on the tower terrace, shopping for armor mods, and generally being at ease. Suddenly a HUD alert appears, and a near by PA screen shows a mo-cap city official announcing that a pre-collapse ship had just bypassed the Traveler's shields and crash landed in a residential area near the outer wall. The official orders all available guardians to investigate and help with search and rescue. You hop into a rapid transit pod and arrive on site moments later. Rather than a disaster site, what you find is more akin to a battleground: the ship (seen as a smoldering behemoth in the background) was actually one of the derelict ships from Saturn, commandeered by the hive for use as a shock pod. Hive drones are everywhere, massacring civilians and fighting security droids/mechs/bots/whatever-you-want-to-call-em. It is up to you and the other players to contain the situation and stop the hive from gaining a foot hold in the city. Could this be an example of a public event? Will we ever have to defend the city directly? Will urban combat be at all present? I think this would be an excellent sort of major event type thing, the like of which would only occur once ore twice a year, and take days to compleat as a community.

  • I would really enjoy this. Lets say we lose, the hive (or any other faction really. I'd expect the fallen to break through) get a foothold and slowly start taking over the city. Players would be grouping together to go and oust them from the city, just like the actual military. They regroup then go back and counter attack. It would really help the immersion, which bungie has stated is one of their main goals. I like it, I want it. Only thing that needs to be sorted out is the possibility, however small, that not enough players respond in time and lets say they win and take over the city. Bungie has said that public events are not mandatory, but if people take advantage of that and not enough people show up to defend the city, the enemy take a portion of it. In order to persuade the ones who don't like public events (but are capable of joining. Those with crap Internet, I understand), ALL players would lose the benefits from that portion of the city, including any favorite shops or quest continuations. Let me know what you think guys. Mostly about the losing benefits of that part of the city.
