I came up with an idea to add into The Tower, and through my time in the forums I've seen I'm not the only one suggesting this.
People are asking for more entertainment factors in The Tower, duels, arenas, volleyball with the purple ball, etc. Today I present to you [b][i][u]Sparrow Racing[/u][/i][/b].
[b][i][u]Sparrow racing[/u][/i][/b] could have two different versions in [i]The Tower[/i], them being:
[b]1[/b]. The typical race in which the top 3 gain currency ([i]Glimmer[/i]). This one would be always available in The Tower.
[b]2[/b]. A gambling version of Sparrow Racing. Same as #1 where the top 3 win Glimmer, but spectators can place bets on the racers. This would be available several hours a day, everyday; or some other timely way (daily, weekly, etc).
And besides these two racing modes, Bungie could add a custom mode where players could build their own courses. There would also be a sort of board where people can see through a list of player-made custom courses and either download or "like" (the list would be assorted from most to least likes), and implement a search function.
In this custom mode players would edit everything in the race of their course, by that I mean possibly editing the Sparrow. Like length of boost, turn boost on/off, dodge on/off, dodge causing damage and how much, adding guns to the sparrow and their damage, allowing racers guns, allowing ADS if holding gun, invincible on/off.
The options are [u]limitless[/u]. Give the players the freedom to make their own defining course.
Please leave your thoughts in the comments and like the thread if you like the idea. [b][i][u]Show Bungie we want Sparrow Racing.[/u][/i][/b]

Yeah and the races could also be in the city. Would be an awesome dlc if it were to happen

Forget the custom tracks just race through the gaming landscape with marker beacons to show the players the approximate way. Races should be A to B or A to B to A. Two beacons make a start line, two beacons make a finish line, fastest rider from start to finish, any route you want wins. Only rules are you must cross the start and finish lines and halfway point in the correct order. Anything else is upto you.

And the more your track is played the more glimmer you get!!!
-
Nononononononononon plz no
-
YUSSSSS
-
No, people could rig the races -_-
-
-
Custom made maps, heck no! Sparrow races, yes, let's go need for speed up in heere and gambling probably wouldn't happen, it's a cool idea, but it is rated T
-
I like the idea of sparrow racing but... You buy and upgrade your sparrow throughout the game, so someone further in the game would have a HUGE advantage over someone just starting. But I still think this is a really good idea! :)
-
I've been thinking about this too for a while (because me and my friends have done are own little races on our sparrows) and I AGREE.
-
And one map is an "old" rundown Nascar Track that would allow you to make Left Turns! No wait! Hes making a left turn! Hes making [i]another[/i] left turn!! *gasp* i wonder what he's going to do next!! XD [spoiler]ill give 100 glimmer to whoever gets the reference.[/spoiler]
-
As long as Tony Stewart ain't driving one sounds like a good plan.
-
Make it like street racing in the last city In some shady part of town it could be epic Like an amazing little minigame to kill time
-
I want Sparrow Racing! Before the crucible game type releases i was certain it would be in there but alas.
-
Literally posted something like this last night. I like this better than mine!

Edited by SnakiestOrc7366: 8/24/2014 10:07:09 PMYou might or might not get the sparrow racing of your choice but if it happens it will be in a future update. What about in the release on 9/9, how would you instigate sparrow racing in that? Deej mentioned that an unofficial type of racing in another game, the participants chose an area, agreed on rules and had marshals using scopes to keep things on the up and up. Bragging rights were the only reward. Would people settle for that for now? Thinking about this type of community effort couldn't there be a whole raft of constructed games we could do in the game on this release? Just my 2 cents ... opinions?
-
Sounds fun, like Jak X Racing, but all Gamestop preorders will have a 2x speed boost and extra defense compared to all other sparrows. Hope you didn't preorder online.

Edited by wrestleraw11: 8/25/2014 12:18:05 AMDeej said that players could organize these themselves.
-
In the latest weekly update Deej basically said "No, do it yourself"...
-
I would love mini games that is what makes a mmo never put down
-
No. There are other more meaningful things to do. You can cruise around on a sparrow from point a to b in explore mode with your buddies.
-
HELL YEAH!!
-
Me and my friend plate the beta as soon as we got the sparrow we thought about racing
-
*played

I would love to see a sparrow racing mode or modes, along with space ship dog fighting scenarios. Who says the game needs to be limited to all ground based fighting and exploring? I cannot wait to read the guide >_<
