I have no idea what the mode itself will be like, but I've heard from several places (a guy who knows a guy type stuff, so take it with a huge grain of salt) that the new game type will be 12v12, or something in that range.

So, I'm curious what people think the new game mode will be.

My first thoughts were some variation of Juggernaut or Oddball, maybe CTF (Steal their light Guardian!).

What could the possible tweaks to Juggernaut be (aside from shields)? Increased charge rates?

Odds are that it would have to fit with the existing maps. That said, Rift is not available on any of the Launch maps (and only on a couple of non-TTK maps), so who knows if it could have its own dedicated maps.

I'd love to see a larger-scale gametype that takes advantage of bigger maps such as Bastion and First Light (maybe even the awful Skyshock), but the best that I can think of would be a BTB style gametype that might get too frantic.

If I had to guess, I'm going to say that it's likely going to be a King of the Hill gametype, since all of the things needed for one already exist (though a Hardpoint variant would be less grief-friendly).

What I would love to see is a Juggernaut gametype that gives the juggernaut Saladin's Flaming Axe. That would be fun...

I have extremely limited memories of Myth, but I do remember this being amusing.

Players competing have disabled supers, grenades, melees.

They can only use 1 of set primaries (like alpha/beta)
And get a sidearm.

Have a spark at each end and you get reverse CTF/assault. Probably wouldn't even take that much work to do compared to regular rift.

I'd love to see some other items introduced to the PvP side. If there was a "Big Team" variant added then we could have some cool possibilities. The control beacons we some times get in PvE could be added. limited use turrets could be deployed at those beacons. Maybe this is a type of king of the hill gametype (rift/control variation)

Also Mayhem shows that they are willing to have a little fun. This could easily be modified into a juggernaut type of game. make this a 6 person free for all. The juggernaut gets extra shields, super quick punches and recharges, increase movement speed. To counter this, No weapons or maybe primaries only when being the juggernaut.

I really hope in Destiny 2 that they allow some form of Forge/Custom Games. Giving people tools to build things just brings out the best in the creativity of your player base.

How about the Juggernaut get's mayhem-level recharge rates? They would be pretty terrifying without even bothering to tweak their shields.

Why can't we have game modes like that? Even a three teams of 2 mode would be fun. More targets to shoot at, but only you and your buddy to rely upon.

And for the love of god can we get a game mode that lets us organize vs. matches with our friends? You know, like a custom pvp match mode???

Please?

This is more of a random thought then a well thought out idea.

But is Destiny just too serious of a game to allow some of the fun and crazy gametypes like we had in Halo? I'm trying to think of how a game like Headhunter would fit grimoire wise and such. Rift deals with this by having the spark be a relic. How about other games types? How would those work? Mayhem doesn't really fit in the sense that are supposed to show what we can do when we have no limits. If that was really the case, then why do we have limits when fighting enemies that want to rid humans from existence?
