Implementing AI in PVP game modes

This is a concept for (crucible) game modes i've wanted for a long time now, and i'm curious whether the rest of the community agrees with me on this subject. I've always enjoyed multiplayer games that included enemy AI on the battlefield. Prime examples like Star Wars Battlefront (a child hood favorite of mine) and Titanfall. The inclusion of enemy AI always made the battles feel more large, epic, and immersive to me. So i think it would be a great idea if Destiny had particular game modes that featured this. Here is an example of a game mode: Two teams. Each team has their own Nexus to defend. The goal being to destroy the opposing team's Nexus. Maybe you can even include some other little guys (dregs, vex, etc.) There are plenty of other ideas that could implement enemy AI well. This was just an idea i made on the spot. All in all, i think a game like Destiny (which features a heavy focus on both pve and pvp) could have a lot of potential with multiplayer game modes that include friendly and enemy AI on both sides. Hell, it may change what weapons people decide to use and add some more variety. So the point of this thread was to see what the community thinks of this concept. Do you want the inclusion of AI in multiplayer modes as much as i do? Do you have ideas for game modes that would work well with the inclusion of AI? Please feel free to give me your opinions and ideas. I would love to hear them. And maybe if this gets enough attention, Bungie might even consider adding something along these lines in the future. Thanks for reading. EDIT: [spoiler] Alright, so to summarize what happened in this post: i initially titled this post "Implementing AI with PVP game modes". It hardly got any attention, so i decided to test a theory. Since so many popular posts in this community are along the lines of "omg nerf thorn" or "gjallarhorn hur dur my parents hate me", i decided to change the title to [b][i]Nerf the -blam!-ing Thorn already!!![/i][/b] (which is why so many comments below are related to Thorn... Some people clearly dont read the whole post). And what do you know? this post became pretty damn popular. I initially intended for this post to be a legitamite topic relating to game mode ideas. It would turn out however that this community is far more interested in reading the same whining posts over and over again. Anyway this has been an interesting social experiment. I will now change the title to what it initially was to avoid confusion. The interesting part will be seeing if this post continues to get popular, or will it instead be overlooked by readers who are more interested in other "insightful" forum posts.[/spoiler]
