With the influx of new emotes, and six different swords, there really isn't a reason not to have a Swords only crucible match. No supers, grenades or melees. All guns are barred, unlimited sword energy.
I mean, think about it, you see a guy 50 feet away, you both bow, and then commence an epic duel. Sword logic. Not only would this be a nice change from the tedium and repetition of the same game modes with smaller teams or flags, but it would give you the chance to test your skills in sword combat.
Come on, try to tell me it wouldn't be cool to do the "bring it on" emote and then enter combat with another guardian.
We need a different type of game mode, and this one would be fun and refreshing.
[spoiler]And I'm not the first to think of this. I just want to stress the point that WE NEED THIS IN OUR LIVES. Thank you for your time.[/spoiler]

[b][i][u]Gameplay, and rules[/u][/i][/b]
-Players spawn with swords
-No other weapons would be available.
-No grenades or special melees. Class perks would be granted.
-All swords would be permitted
-Blocking on swords would be buffed so that it could stop anything.
-If hit with enough force while blocking the player will stagger
-Swords have unlimited ammo
-Players health is buffed so they can take two hits from a sword.
-When a player has their super, they may activate their exotic swords ability. After the use, the sword will not be able to use the ability again until their super has recharged
-Super energy is obtained quicker
-Legendary swords can ground pound as their super(small fist of havoc strike)
-Killing an enemy will recharge your health, as to set you on equal grounds with your next foe

HALOOOO!!!!!
-
I want a gamemode exactly like this but sword hilts only and heavy ammo is enabled
-
Also we need jousting cap ilities on our sparrows with swords
-
This. Is -blam!-ing awesome
-
There is, its called rumble.

-
Well..... [spoiler]#ArcSwordTooOP #BungiePlzNerf[/spoiler]

I'm surprised caboose came up with this...
-
Only problem. You have a sword that shoots a OHK disc. It would just be people shooting electric frisbees at each other. Well except for the people who haven't got one yet, they'll be just getting killed over and over again. Doesn't sound like fun
-
I'm thinking like rift but instead of a spark a sword spawns in and whoever picks it up gets a health buff and kills with the sword count as points
-
There should be a competitive version like trials and IB where you get like 3 lives and you have to do it one on one. That would be amazing
-
Nice one, Caboose.
-
And everyone would just use the bolt caster, the gametype is already a failed gametype.

Thst sounds like it would get old fast

Edited by ToadSageNaruto: 10/14/2015 10:24:54 PMHad this same idea. 3 different modes, one like rumble and just legendaries, one a fusion of rumble and elimination with exotics, and one like the last one except killing increases damage by 25% (for last two modes, it should take 3 hits to kill at base damage) with the 4th kill granting a 100% bonus(1.5 hit kill), and at the same time, a decrease in defense by 12.5%, with the 4th kill granting a 50% decrease, to make it fair for the last other person alive, assuming they didn't get any kills. Killing someone with kills grants you their buff/debuff plus the extra. This last mode should work somewhat like trials, with scorecards, but a little lenient, since there are no teams. Edit: bolt-caster throwing attack should be nerfed for sword modes only. 2 hit kill. (One with buff) Edit 2: No tracker. Edit 3: First mode, infinite ammo. Second, more frequent ammo drops. Third, one drop.
-
Great, now were going to get a grenades-only mode. [spoiler]we asked for a no super mode and got mayhem lol[/spoiler]
-
If they make sword not one shot kill and remove tracking then yes
-
I'm all for this.
-
There's another game mode in the database. Hints at being sword related.

Edited by Dizzlecess: 10/14/2015 10:00:02 PMSparrow wars. Finally adding sparrow skill trees and upgrades(upgrades that you can choose to upgrade, not like set upgrade nodes like the class skill trees.) like more armour, more boost, more damage output when hitting stuff, you can choose the damage type, shield type(keep in mind this is only for pvp. You sparrow is just a bike in pve) But in the pvp playlist, your sparrow can have small mines, light machine guns maybe, no heavy ranged weapons though) Everyone is on their sparrows to start with. You ram each other, you can press both right and left bumper to lose most control over your sparrow and shoot any one handed gun(hand cannon, sidearm, shotgun) but there's very limited ammo. This is all about sparrow fighting. If your sparrow explodes, you are basically screwed. There's sparrow cool down period if it gets exploded.
