Honestly, I feel as if though the Prison of Elders is going to be a breath of fresh air for destiny. The Crota raid was a disappointment and VoG got stale after the first few times. Four alternating arenas with objectives is going to allow for a constantly changing and interesting survival/arena experience. Plus there is going to be some sweet new loot drops and bosses included. It's like a raid that changes every week! Personally I wish it was 6 player survival instead of only 3... But either way I'm exited.

Getting tired of saying this, but we don't know what the Arena is. We know literally nothing about it besides its name and that it's 3 players.
-
-
It seems to be similar of Modern Warfare 3's Survival Mode (which I played the shit out of). Really excited to see what else Bungie has for us in May!
-
I hope it's optional matchmaking
-
I love firefight mode on Halo. I didn't play it on odst though because I couldn't stand that game lol. I probably won't complain no matter what it is but if it's similar to firefight I for one will love it.
-
I think if they made arena a six player activity they wouldnt have seen such backlash.
-
I think it will be great
-
If it's like firefight, I'll be very pleased - I played the crap out of that with my friends in ODST :)
-
And especially since they are also adding hardcore mode, which is gonna be nuts
-
I really like the idea but I would like to see it be for 6 ppl also..... or let you choose between 3 man arena or 6 man only difference is more health on enemies and more of them
-
I don't see how repetitive waves of enemies are any superior to a raid, but that's just me.
-
Dappar Gentlemen
-
Can't wait for it to drop. I'll enjoy it either way.
-
For a game that's fairly repetitive, adding a horde mode is a pretty illogical choice IMO.
-
I hope its like zombies of blackops
-
A lot of ppl bought the season pass cuz we was under the assumption that every dlc would have a new raid. Raids are the best thing on the pve side that destiny has to offer. Sure, the arena might be better. But I can't help feel like they ripped me off tho
-
Nah, 6 players is sort of a crowd. 3 or 4 is perfect for a survival arena. I look forward to two manning the Prison of Elders.
-
Six player would have been epic, but I remember no lifing COD zombies and Gears of war2 horde mode endlessly so I'm still stoked about the whole thing
-
I'm really hyped to be honest. Bungie decided to do something new, which I really think is good for destiny. We have too much repeatable content allready.
-
Sure Arena is going to be great if you like playing COD zombie mode. If I wanted to play COD zombie mode, I would have purchased COD.
-
OP also thinks COD Is GOAT
-
I have more than two friends.
-
Oh yes, just when I thought doing the same 6 strikes over and over again in ROC wasn't repetitive enough, now HoW offers the opportunity to repeat the exact same ONE AREA (arena) over and over again.
-
I wonder how the reward drops gonna be. Is it like every 5 or so waves a reward drop? Or maybe only 1 drop of 3 or so things at the end od the arena. Or what would be awesome is that when it is every like 5 waves a reward. That you get 3 chests. And you can only open 1. Each chest has a legendary or whatever in that chest
-
That's the real shock. That it's 3 player instead of 6. I'm sad since I got a solid raid team for months, so we probably won't play together as much as before. One thing though, we might do CE and VOG quite often to get exotic chances? But no new content. I'm happy there is finally a challenging mode for 3 player teams. Destiny started with my joining 2 real life friends. Eventually we mixed with another team to achieve our current "raid team". But it's really nice to have something nice to do with 3 man teams again. Strikes are... Not going to waste anymore words on it. Besides this, you won't need to wait for the 5th or 6th player to join. Less orbit, more Arena.

For the horde!!
