[b]Preface to the idea[/b] (scroll down past the line if you don't want to know why I came up with this): I haven't had any fun in the crucible lately. I feel like I am funneled in to using the same 2-4 weapons or I will be continually punished for choosing to play with variety. I am perfectly capable of playing and doing acceptably well with other weapons, however, the performance difference is as contrasting as night and day. Then I remembered the beta for destiny; the crucible was SO much fun in the beta...but it was so imbalanced. So why did I enjoy it then, and resent it now? The answer: Everyone in the beta had green or blue weapons. There were no silly exotic perks. There were no crazy 10-frame kill times with primaries. There were no completely wacky shotguns with +range, +aim down sights, and final round [i]at the same time[/i]. I was watching The Taken King crucible gameplay, and nobody had exotics equipped...and it looked like SO MUCH FUN. But why? There was actually variety in the game, there was a reason to switch to your sidearm, they had scout rifles at semi-close range and they actually stood a chance because the other guy couldn't just kill them in a quarter of a second. Don't get me wrong! There is a place for all of that, but there is currently NOT a balanced, variety-friendly PvP environment that exists within Destiny, so queue... [b]-------------------------------------------------------------------------[/b] [b]The Gamemode: Armory:[/b] [u]What is it?[/u] First, it is a control variant. Second, at the beginning of the match, Destiny randomly picks ONE primary, ONE secondary, and ONE heavy weapon. It can be white, green, blue, or exotic...it is entirely random; but everyone uses the same random weapons [i]with the same perks[/i] for the duration of the match. [u]Example (I randomly picked weapons from the armory):[/u] Armory on Last Light Primary - Pickpocket Saint (blue scout rifle, has last round and crowd control) Secondary - Snakebite Surgeon (purple fusion rifle, has skip rounds / maximum ammunition / Hot Swap) Heavy - Cyrus B (white machine gun, no perks) You know what the enemy can do to you. You know what you can do to the enemy. [i]Now go outplay them[/i]. Is it fair? [i]Absolutely[/i]. Is it balanced? [i]Absolutely[/i]. Is it varied and fresh gameplay every match? [i]Absolutely[/i]. Is it fun? I certainly think it would be!... ...but I'm interested to know what you guys think, so vote! Put up your suggestions! Do you hate it? [i]Why[/i]? Do you love it? [i]Why[/i]? Start talkin fellas, I'm interested to read your replies!
