What form will competitive multiplayer in Destiny take?
Anybody wondering just how competitive multiplayer will fit into Destiny? What's your idea?
My thought is that there will be the regular death-match and simple objective game-types, but I'm getting a bit tired of that. Bungie seems like just the right group to pull off something more involved. Any thoughts?

I think it will be a totally new type of game play. With a touch of old game types.

1 ReplyI kind of like the direction that Sentinel is going, but I think we can do more with it. Since Destiny is an "always on, always connected" game, rather than just huge free-for-all's or squad based MM, let's go one further. Massive Squad FFA. You take your squad of up to six, and the game puts you in a transport. The transport drops you off on the edge of a massive plateau where there is a huge battle already in progress amongst other squads. Your squad forms up, and the point-man calls out that there is a squad -blah- number of feet/yards off to your left. The rest of you look over to see another squad in retreat, having just fared badly against another three squads. Smelling the blood in the air, your squad races over to finish them off before wading onto the thick of the fray. TL;DR: Basically, take the FFA format, but apply it on a Squad-sized level. Since the game is always on, the battle is a constant 24/7 event as squads come and go at their leisure. What do you guys think for PvP/competitive play idea?

2 RepliesWhat I would like would be one giant conflict between opposing sides. Yes, small skirmishes should be included but what if we had giant, army sized battles? Something that could come straight out of star wars? That would be amazing.

Would be neat if there was a Drop in and Drop out, endless conflict like there is in Planetside 2. I don't know why, but I love that concept.. Endless action that you can join in at anytime.

Hopefully it's nothing like CoD and nothing like Halo. I hope Bungie makes something brand new.

Another garbage CoD clone that doesn't understand competitive multiplayer...

I want my fair and balanced arena gameplay back.

I [i]really[/i] hope its not like CoD. I will die if it is. Not metaphorically speaking of course.

I dont think it will be Arena style

Edited by DEZARATH: 3/18/2013 2:37:47 AMMy initial thoughts are you're going to have to opt into PVP in setting by turning on the ability for other players to kill you for starters. If they're really going seamless then there might be regions that are especially marked for PVP and specialized missions each team has to embark on. For Arena Combat I could see a gladiatorial maps being accessed in the city. Should be interesting to see. So long as the Competitive remember Destiny is a Social Co-Op against the Ai and nerfing guns and removing magic sorta sucks in firefight and anything PVE.
