New Anti-mayhem mode - a pure gunfight mode

With supers between classes never seeming to be remotely balanced, as well as them effectively ending the gunfight gameplay after 3mins of PvP play, why not have a gunfight gameplay mode? Here's the rules: you get NO supers, you get NO heavy, NO class abilities, and melee, grenade and movement are standardised. It's classless, fairer, pure gunfight, for those who like that kind of thing. It's the opposite of Mayhem. It's Anti-Mayhem. Oh, and matchmaking works and 4stacks don't square up against solo players (ffs Bungie, fix this). It'd be very interesting to see how single-class players fair against each other, without any advantages tipping the balance their way. Class advantages disabled. - - Some responses to points raised: [b]On Heavy being allowed[/b] Heavy is really only an ammo version of one-shotting, insta-kill supers now. Colony, Coil, Truth, etc. are so OTT, so skillless and so widespread that again all fighting gameplay stops when the heavy arrives. There's always Mayhem for those who love the spamming. I remember watching the gameplay of True Vanguard Vs CammyCakes where there was an understanding they wouldn't stoop to using heavy or if they picked it up they would just shoot it in the air to have it out the game. Better this for this one skill mode. Or try out having a single heavy brick each. [b]On having no Special as well[/b] I think having no special would limit the pool of weapons too much. All Special ammo weapons can be countered or avoided unlike most Heavy. Having limited Special drops would make sense here. [b]On it being CoD or Halo then[/b] Yes, if you like, but with D2 maps, D2 weapons, D2 loadouts, D2 armour, D2 Crucible bounties, D2 quest steps, D2 Valour (or even D2 Glory too!), and D2 clans. Other than that, "identical." It's an extra mode too, not a replacement. [b]On restricting Pinnacle weapons[/b] No. If Bungie rolls out the Revoker model to Pinnacle quest weapons ( some of which are locked out for many behind Rank barriers) then it wouldnt be a problem. So, no restrictions. With that model, perhaps the way Bungie are moving towards, you still have to grind and work for them with queststeps and copious amounts of Glory but they're not permanently out of reach for some, like Recluse, MT and Lunas in particular are right now. [b]On use of resources[/b] Really? Any new development takes some resources. But, they NEED to do SOMETHING in any regard. As far as things go, this would be extremely low on development time. [b]On thanks[/b] This got a surprising amount of likes and responses in a short time, some against, many for. Someone suggested it be called [b] Suppression[/b] which is also very fitting. I actually prefer it. Apparently an article has appeared with the same original name and some similar ideas, which is great. (I'd never read it nor happened to have heard of him and have posted about this long before - it's of no matter). He didn't mention anything at all about levelling the playing field between classes as is clear here which otherwise wouldnt address the unfairness. There's clearly a Destiny market for both this more gunfight-focused extra mode and a class level-playing field mode - Crucible can't just remain for one or, at best, two of the three classes forever. I think it WOULD work in particular if cycled at the same time as Mayhem - so you get a yin-yang polarity of options and with fans/haters of one type, there would be less likely a dilution of players. I hope it lands on the desk of Bungie's PvP team and moves forward. Open up Crucible.

  • They have that already! Make a private match with your buddies and say no supers or heavies and have fun!

    • Lol, all this would accomplish is returning to year 1 of D2: a bunch of guardians playing human centipede, team shooting everyone. Sounds boring as hell, and making it would be a waste of Bungie's resources.

      • Then the next post would be “take out snipers I got killed across map. Take out shotties someone slid and got my face. Take out fusions, take out pulses, handcannons, and grenade launchers, cuz I keep getting wrecked.” Might as well take out swords too, wouldn’t want you to get hurt going around a corner, little bud.

        • Quickplay by itself is already EXTREMELY boring and this sounds like it would be absolutely worse. The only thing worth playing in crucible is mayhem and Iron banner.

        • I always thought I would be cool to have both this AND the opposite. 1 mode with no light abilities but increased ammo, and a second one with no guns, but increased ability regen.

        • You can't really have a "Gun Skills" game until they fix the Network Foundation and have Regional Dedicated Host Servers. It's the same as asking for SBMM with Peer to Peer networking - it's not Skill Based if the main reason your winning is because of Lag (i.e. you have bad internet, your matched against someone on the other side of the world, you intentionally tank your internet etc.).

        • Why would more game mode options be a bad thing? I probably wouldn't play a mode like this too often, but I might jump in from time to time. It can be good to change pace, every now and then.

            As much as I want to see this game mode I don’t think bungie will comply. It will take away from the “innovation” that is destiny.

          • So your pure gunfight is erentil and shotguns haha Although may sound cool I think it takes away from what makes destiny destiny . You want a pure weapon game to play Cod, halo, battlefield, pubg etc. The supers and abilities is what sets Destiny apart from all other games. If don’t like it it’s ok there’s plenty of other games that you can play that have no abilities.

              • Would love a game mode for gunplay only it would show who has actual skill then these people here saying "Oh go to CoD!" or "This isn't the game for you!". People who sound like that seems like they can't get kills without their super and abilities. Them solo BB Hunters, High mobility Solar Warlocks, Arc OEM Titans. Two supers I would like to see be "balanced" is Code Of the Juggernaut, Warlock's Solar(bottom tree) those classes see reign in crucible cause how they can literally lap around the map while getting kills.

                • It’s probably make sense from a lore perspective. Shack wanting to train Guardians as though you they were Lightless.

                    Most of us play because of space magic, I think you are looking for a different game all together.

                      • Team tactical... SWAT ... whatever you want to call it , I am all for it. And to people to vehemently disagree,; it’s an additional game mode , it would not replace your 8 mile Titan super games. It would just reward awareness , movement and gun play. We have wanted this forever.
