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.

    This is one of the best things i have ever heard! If bungie does do it, however, they should also update there mobile app to automatically place your character in a chat feed that includes all other players in the event. Coordinating and assault with hand gestures would be frustrating and time consuming. A small map should be available were people submit war plans on the map and then they are votes on. The person who's war plan is chosen is then picked as the defacto commander for the event, helping to coordinate the offensive and marking enemy positions, until or unless he is voted out and the next person is chosen to lead for a time. This map should also show player types and weapons, so, for example, the snipers could be brought together and sent to a roof top to help support the vanguard by taking out opposing enemy snipers or just enemies that are to weak to do much harm, but are still slowing the main offensive down. The key to this battle would be communication, so an audio function on the app(they should also put this on pc, not everyone has a smart phone). Also, there was a piece of concept art from a while back that showed an AI in the city with a sniper rifle. This leads me to believe, that if not enough guardians show up, or were getting our arses kicked spectacularly, the number of "police" AI can increase, or some other subtle event can occur to bring the attack back into control. Thats just my two cents; what do you think?
