[b]Competing[/b] Due to the release of [b]The Taken King[/b] players were given an option to choose a faction so that 50% of their rep could go towards the Faction, resulting in equipment. To Compete, simply assign yourself to a faction of your choice, and go see the QuaterMaster in regards to the Faction Wars. From there, it's time to see, who is the Faction Champion! The Faction Wars will go for one whole Week!!! [b]Gameplay[/b] To make things balanced with the overall amount of matches with FWC vs NM or Vs DO, the system will consist of three teams of 4 players, all with their shaders towards their factions being overwritten.

In Terminal, the guardians must hold a Satellite Terminal and prevent the other team from capturing it. Your objective is to contend the point of the map so you can score points. However, these points [b]WILL[/b] change every minute upon Capture to keep the gameflow running and so people aren't spamming with snipers, supers or heavy. Kills, Assist, etc will count as points, having the point captured will result in a few more points upon a kill, and allow you to receive the Defend kill. [b]Faction Pride[/b] Faction Pride is a Capture the Flag styled gameplay with a bit of a twist. Since all three teams are competing, they will all need to capture the enemy teams Pride (Flag) and return it to their base. Sort of like rift, but you'll going Into their base and bring it to yours.

[b]Faction status/Leaderboard[/b] Simple go into orbit, go to crucible and view view the Faction Wars tab. This will show who is in the lead. [b]Fireteams[/b] Now, fireteams will be tricky. Due to some people with different factions, the fireteam players WILL be separated to their dedicated faction. Since this may result in boosting, a system will indicate if those people have been killing each other several times in a time period and locations and boot them back to orbit. [b]Rewards and Reputation[/b] A new reputation system like the iron banner will come Into place, allowing Faction Wars exclusive weapons built for PvP to be redeemed. However once you Hit Level 5 in the Faction Wars you may obtain a unique Shader and Mark of your chosen Favtion, that will provide more Rep in Faction Wars.
