Why is Horde mode not a thing?

Because this game is so heavily AI based it baffles me (yes, baffles me, and I don't normally use that word) that Destiny has no horde mode. For those of you who don't know what a horde mode is, it is a round based game where certain amounts of AI are pitted against you and you must defeat these wave in order to progress to the next wave. It is nearly a staple in the gaming world and is such for a reason, people like them. Instead of doing the same missions or getting frustrated with multiplayer, some people like to just beat up on some AI in a small and controlled environment, such as myself. The best example that I have and still play is Gears of War 2 and 3 horde. Some of the best memories I had of gaming was me and my friends beating waves 1-50, beating up on the AI, joking around and having fun. Now you might say you can do the same with the missions but the only problem is that you have to start and stop missions putting breaks in the action, and as for patrol, there is never enough enemies to satisfy me or my friends because they are usually just groups of 5 dregs that we slaughter with the flick of our pinkies. Horde mode keeps the action going almost non stop. Hell, this could be a very convenient and fun way to acquire glimmer rather than going to the exclusion zone, killing 8 majors and offing yourself. If you want to include lore into this you could easily do it. For example, Dead Orbit has created a small colony on a planet that the Darkness has not touched and is now being Invaded and Guardians are being called in to help to hold off the Darkness. The Vanguard want guardians to hold off the Fallen because they are making a second assault at Twilight Gap. There is so much lore opportunity (which is something the community has been begging for) that it would be easy to implement and I don't think that many people would be opposed to. Not to mention that so many people have given great ideas on how destiny can create its own version of Horde. All I am asking is that we the players can enjoy Destiny in more ways than the same missions, strikes, and raids and let us enjoy some of the possible experiences that we may occur and let Destiny leave a legendary memory.

  • Yep. It's been brought up many times. I'd quite like an endless mode where you fight til your fireteam has all died with increasingly tougher mobs. Another version could be a 15 minute timed event with revives - kill as many mobs as possible. Could be weekly leaderboard of the group with the best scores. Or simply make an epic public event mode where you select it from orbit and there's a full team of you doing a bigger version. Multiple walkers or warsats to defend etc. All with 6 player matchmaking. :)
