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]

Really happy to see that I'm not the only one who wants racing. I never thought of tower races before but that'd be an awesome way to do it. However, Idk if the make your own track idea would work in this game. Here's what I think. Like u said, there should be racing in the tower. Betting, quick joining, etc. There should also be the ability to challenge someone one the frontier to a destination set on the map, like a quick race ability. It would be a good alternative to dueling other players as it is something involving guardians randomly running into each other and competing for whatever reason. Either way, I'd be happy. I know that I'll verbally challenge my friends to races anyway but if actual racing is added in any way to this game I'll pee myself.
