The Crucible, 3 years from now: Fred dropped into a game already in progress. Twas nothing that surprised him; he's been dropped into games already in progress for the last hour now. Surprisingly, his team was in the lead, so perhaps some unfortunate soul got hit with an error code. Doesn't matter to him now, for his mind is now focused on his target. Ever since that new "Bounty" feature was added in, there was only one target Fred was allowed to kill. In this new 6v6 environment, one player is matched up against another player, so hunting for more than one target is nigh impossible. It didn't bother Fred though, for he'd been paired up with nothing but PvE scrubs for the last hour ([i]even though Bungie dropped PvE support two years ago, these people still play the old Story missions. For "fun", laughingly[/i]). His radar lit up. Target was in range. Fred's semi-automatic rifle felt almost giddy in his hand; it seemed like forever since his rifle's hunger had been satisfied, and Fred was eager to let it feast. Suddenly, his target appeared before him, rounding a corner for only the briefest second before disappearing again. Fred managed to get three shots to connect. A good start. Only 97 more to go until his target is eliminated. With the last major Crucible update, Special and Heavy weapons were removed from Destiny, effectively annihilating any and all Sniper, Shotgun or MG meta's that had previously existed. That update also brought the inclusion of a single weapon system; every player carries the same rifle. This rifle has unlimited ammo, and never needs to be reloaded. Semi-automatic, of course. However, they also removed shields, and introduced a "Hitpoint" system; 100 Hitpoints, 100 shots. No grenades. No Special weapons. No Heavy weapons. Just you, your rifle, and your target. The way Fred preferred it. He chased his target around a gondola-like structure. His target could be baiting him, for all Fred knew, but Fred was eager. He wanted this kill. He [i]needed[/i] it. There he was again, facing Fred head-on this time. A perfect, fair engagement. The shots rang out for what felt like a dragged out moment, but eventually both Guardians found themselves behind cover. Fred checked his remaining health: 66%. Fred felt heat come to his cheeks; he had been careless in that engagement. He would make sure to correct his errors on their next confrontation. A few minutes went by, with Fred taking in the scope of his Team's battle. The score was 5-3; Fred's team has five kills, and his enemies only have a measly 3. The objective is first to 10. They were at the halfway point, but the night is still young. This match could last for another 10 minutes, easily. Fred considered where his target may be hiding. If only Fred could use his Super, but those were as ancient as the Traveler itself, long removed from a Guardian's arsenal of chaos. Fred couldn't let these thoughts of the glory days distract him, though. He had to brush the thoughts of using Exotic weapons from his mind. To banish the memories his team had running with Truth in the Iron Banner. To exile the time he managed to take out an entire team with expertly placed shots from a Sniper rifle to the darkest corners of his consciousness. He had a target to kill, and the night was still young.
