Subject: Can Bungie revive the arena shooter?

We all know that with the fall of Halo as an arena shooter, the entire arena shooter genre is pretty much dead at this point. But do you think Bungie will revive it in Destiny? I don't think they would put in a class system like Cod. So, Flood, can Bungie revive arena shooters?

I like how your sub box is full of science and political videos but your recommendations are full of anime girls kissing each other.

Just Zoid being Zoid ^_^

No, now shut up

Who said Destiny is going to be a FPS?

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

Considering they helped it's downfall...

Bungie can do anything because Bungie doesn't afraid of anything.

What exactly is an arena shooter? Clarification would be nice.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Nobody likes arena shooters anymore.

Think more Halo 2/3 and less Reach/CoD

Why do you click that arrow?

Would prefer an RPG game from Bungie. With controls to toggle between first and third person.

Yes, there're too many numbers in my name.

Neeyope.

No point in putting something funny, clever or informative here. Most probably im going to get perma-banned anyway.

Can they do it? Maybe, sure. But will
they do it? I wouldnt bet on it.

I've been playing Halo since 2002. My earliest memories include hiding at the shotgun window on Damnation and killing my dad with grenades while playing co-op on Pillar of Autumn.

Hah. No.

Bungie will follow the gravy train just like every other developer is nowadays and make Destiny: Future Warfare. It's just how vidya is these days.

I have a feeling Destiny will be more story oriented, perhaps it won't even have a "competitive" multiplayer mode, just co-op. Or maybe it will be an MMOFPS with PvP serves or something along those lines.

This would make me so happy...

Could they? With a big enough budget and marketing, yeah. Will they? I doubt it. Arena shooters are dead, and that's just how it is. There are still great, skill based multiplayer FPS games out there. I challenge anyone to find a harder modern FPS than Tribes: Ascend.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Reach was a arena shooter just a class based arena shooter. What you meant to say was, think less of Halo 4/CoD.

That's kinda my point. It seems like the Flood really doesn't know what it means. They just say that's what Halo is.

I see Destiny as an FPS-RPG.. Sorta like Borderlands.

So would it be a first person RPG or a third person RPG? Because regardless if there is an option to swap between the two perspectives, the game is designed first and foremost to be played from a particular perspective, with all the enemies and such being balanced for that perspective.

An arena shooter is where everyone starts on the same grounding with the equal ability to pick up weapons and equipment and use them for a time. The idea is that everyone starts out on the same foot rather than classes and all that where you start out with an advantage or disadvantage.
