Recently, there has been exciting news in the gaming world that Destiny 2 may be adding a large 8v8 team battle mode similar to Halo. The news comes from the latest episode of the Firing Range Podcast, in which Mercules, a former Halo developer and current Destiny 2** designer, revealed the details.
In the interview, Mercules said: "We are really looking into this. His words reveal enthusiasm and anticipation for this new model. However, he also admits that there are some "very strange" technical challenges in achieving 16 players in the same field. It's certainly a big challenge, but Mercules stresses: "We wanted to make sure we could do it in a way that was both fun and stable. Stability is crucial. ”
The Halo series' 8v8 large-scale team arena mode has been loved by players since Halo 3. For many players who love both Halo and Destiny 2, it was a great surprise to be able to experience this classic game mode in Destiny 2.
However, while this new mode promises to breathe new life into Destiny 2, the game is currently experiencing player churn. According to Steam, the number of players in Destiny 2 has dropped to an all-time low since the release of the Lightfall expansion. This will undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on the upcoming "The Shape of the End" expansion.
However, there are both crises and opportunities. In the run-up to the release of the Final Shapes expansion, if Bungie manages to fix the technical issues and integrate the 8v8 team battle mode into Destiny 2, the game may be in for a new renaissance.
Overall, while Destiny 2 has had some setbacks in terms of player numbers, with the upcoming release of new expansions and the possible addition of new game modes, there's reason to believe that the game still has a lot of potential and limitless possibilities. Let's wait and see how Bungie can bring us even more exciting gaming experiences!
