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.

  • 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.

    • I would love to try this out at least. Crucible Labs, let's go. I've wanted to have a mode like this since Destiny 1 came out.

    • Lots of shotguns and snipers. You know damn well nobody is gonna want to move around and earn kills, when it's easier to play passive and janitor everything.

      A barebones kind of game mode would be a great idea. No abilities, supers, heavy ammo spawns, or grenades. Primary weapons and secondaries that shoot actual bullets no fusions and just get rid of shotguns cause no one likes an ape.

    • Great idea, but it would never work. Think about it- your god-rolled Spare Rations or Service Revolver against someone with Ten Paces or Pribina-B with alloy-mag, auto holster, and field prep. Yeah- no amount of skill will help the poor hapless sot against your proc'd kill clip. lol. *shudders at the thought... The ONLY way this game mode would work is if everyone in the lobby had the exact same guns. And I would definitely be down for that! lol

        • The game mode would be called “Lightless” No abilities AT ALL.(No Jumps, Grenades, Charged Melees, Class Abilities and Supers.) Pure guns. Heavy should be allowed.

            Maybe up the ante a little, and have only "white" ammo available. That way, people who want a "primary" gunfight can have a gamemode that runs the way they like, and then they won't complain about the special users. Because that happened in Year 3 of D1, and the whole Crucible was ruined as a result. Better to have the 2-14-17 Abomination available to those who like that sort of thing than forced on everybody.

          • Kinda reminds me of the good old days when bungie made halo. Now that’s when they made the best pvp game ever.

          • No supers, no grenades, no class abilities, no heavy, no fun. It would be teamshots all day all over again. Remember D2Y1? Where you only got one super a match and everyone got it at the same time so it was just madness? Space Magic is what gives Destiny it’s identity.

            • For the people saying "gO PlAy CoD", that's not the point here. We want to play destiny , with it's weapons and gameplay. I for one don't mind abilities gameplay wise, but another gamemode like this could make it fun for others, and not deal with the sweats that cod brings all the time. (Yes ik there might be sweats in this new mode, but im pretty sure ppl are better on destiny then they are in cod)

                AKA: Teamshot City With a side of extra butt clenching Followed by running away the second your health is below 99% Oh, and everyone will still only use hand cannons and pulse rifles as their primary (much diverse... very skill...) Also, get ready for sniper and shotgun central since you're not taking away special weapons (which are arguably more bastardized by some in the community than heavy atm). -- Seriously, you're just going to get shotguns and snipers nerfed with this, nothing more. And then fusions right after. Then the cycle will continue, again and again, until you've nerfed shotguns 20+ times like we did in D1. And people still wanted shotguns nerfed...

              • This would be a bit to much. This way you would destroy the core of the game. The differences between classes do make the game more fun IMO and makes it stand out from other shooters. That being said, I would love a gamemode without supers and heavy. Just gunplay but with classabilities.

                  • 1. That's just not Destiny. 2. The game mode isn't any fun if the weapons are still extremely unbalanced like currently. 3. If regular PvP is extremely boring as it is now then this sounds even slower and worse.
