Activision had an earnings call today and in it mentioned that there would be a new mode coming in the D2 Fall expansion that "is new to first-person shooters as a genre," without any other detail. This stacks up with what a lot of the people at the Community Summit said about the mode. Obviously, they were under NDAs, but a few mentioned that it was unlike anything they'd played before. Interesting stuff! Hopefully, when they reveal the expansion at E3 next month we'll get a preview of it.

The part that is so intriguing is "new to first-person shooters as a genre." I was listening to Destiny Radio podcast last week and they were discussing this mode and also mentioned how awesome it was and unlike anything they had seen "in a first person shooter."

So instead of thinking of a game mode, it might just be a mechanic inside an existing mode. What are some common features of WoW or League of Legends that could be implemented? Destiny has just bordered the line of an RPG style game anyway so what features from other genres could be brought into an FPS?
