Alright, so destiny has been receiving a lot of criticism for having a very light story. My idea tackles that challenge, while bringing the users a great new gameplay experience. It starts with a flashback of one of the first cutscenes in the game in which the speaker says something along the lines of “i could tell you of the great battle”. The mission will then lead to you going down to venus for a normal, routine check on something, (you could base it off the premise of something like the sparrow link broke, and you and your ghost are sent to fix it) While on Venus you notice a very large amount of heavily shielded and highly powered vex. This makes your ghost curious, and he urges you to investigate. You then get to a room where it seems the vex are constructing something. A big battle takes place, and you have to kill some vex boss, then your ghost analyzes what they were building. This was one of the many parts to a time machine, and if activated, it will bring everything back to the “great war” to give the vex a second chance at glory. Unfortunately, this does get activated and there is a series of battles in which you are fighting the first war (in earth’s golden age) to protect earth from the vex. (another idea here, is that you could add an entire new species of alien that is not around normally because it was made extinct in the first war). You eventually prevail and come back to present day thinking everything is ok. Thats where you are wrong… The tower is inaccessible from the map. You can’t go to the tower, you can still continue gameplay normally by visiting the bounty dealer, cryptarch and vaults in the reef, but you cannot go to the tower. Thats where the final raid comes in. The final, EPIC raid, consists of taking back the tower. You must start it from old russia, Earth and hike your way (you’ll have to create a new area) to where the last city is. You then have a challenge to get up to the tower. My idea, if possible, is that you and your fire team would have to work together to shoot down one of the Vex planes flying above. When shot down, the plane carries two guardians. The two board the plane and it flies up to the tower. From the top of the tower, the two can then help the rest below with sniper support. Once in the tower, the vex have initiated some sort of emergency mode, closing in all of their minds and high-ranking officials behind the iron banner doors. Your mission is to fight the vex out, all the way to some secret area (i was thinking maybe the speaker’s perch), where your ghost will find an access panel in which he can hack to re open the doors. Once the doors are open, all the high-powered vex bosses pour out and it is your job to murder them all, however, once they are at low health, 4-5 different bosses fuse together to create the final boss. The boss’s armor is heavy (somewhat like crota) and he can only be damaged by spaceship fire. Your fire team must break into the hangar and one by one take out the boss with the limited amount of ammo on the ship. Once the raid has been completed for the first time, it unlocks a harder difficulty, but more importantly, it triggers a cutscene in which you find the speaker, cryptarch, and all the other guys that would normally be in the tower, safe at the reef. Once all of this is done, a new end game activity, called “Coup” is unlocked, in which every time, you are dispatched at a different difficulty to go and take over certain Vex command stations. You must hold them like control points in crucible for a grand total of 10 minutes, however, the mission is capped at 15 minutes, so you have to hurry, and make sure the vex don’t take back their base. New weapons/gear would consist of old “Golden Age” weapons/gear that have been upgraded with modern day technology to be more powerful than ever. (Im picturing a super OP Khovostov :DD) If you got to the end, thanks for reading, it took me a lot of time to come up with and write this idea, I seriously hope you take it into consideration. Thanks Bungie, for making the best video game I have ever played.
