Unequivocally hurt. (Destiny)

I want to smash your face in with a flaming hammer, Schooly. I want to swing my trusty Pike around the red dunes and see the terror on Paddy's face when he realizes that nowhere is safe, especially not curled up in his little violet shell. I want to hear the screams of Duncan, Wu, and Malagate over proximity chat as their faces melt off from my perfectly-arced nova blast.

The fact that Destiny doesn't let me murder my friends is almost criminal. I don't believe for a second that Destiny's matchmaking population would suffer if private games were introduced; players are always going to want to pair up with friends against fresh competition. But, as Destiny stands right now, I can't kill Kermit and make him cry.

And I want those delicious tears.

Yup. Sitting down with 15 friends and playing Halo remains one of the highlights of my video gaming life. We could balance teams how we wanted, adjust which weapons were available, pick the maps, etc.. My favorite game mode that we invented was "whore" where one player was the sniper whore and got to use sniper rifles, and every other player was on the other team and could use anything but sniper rifles. So much fun! Unless you shared a screen with the sniper whore. Who, obviously, was whoring off your screen to snipe you.
