This week, a new multiplayer mode for Destiny will open, called Doubles Skirmish. Bungie calls Doubles the first experiment, as they are testing new modes to create a more exciting multiplayer experience. Here are the details.
Double Skirmish – Slower burn with explosive pockets
The new mode pits Guardians in a 2v2 deathmatch where teamwork is essential to victory. Bungie promises a game mode that will create a slower burn with more explosive pockets. Back in December Bungie did forecast some theoretical game modes, of which Double Skirmish is the first experiment. Two Guardian FireteamsHeavy ammo appears once a matchRevives enabled
Lars Bakken, the lead competitive multiplayer design lead for Destiny states:
“It’s a gun game. Your Supers will come back more slowly because you’re not getting as many actions per minute as you would in a game of Control. The goal here was about taking the rules we already have and mixing them up to create a fresh experience.
Each player has the full weight of winning or losing placed squarely on their shoulders and nobody to blame but themselves… or their teammate. No pressure.” – Source
Because of the 2v2 mode, a Double Down is the most a player can potentially score, which in turn means Space Magic will be at a premium. Players are urged to use it wisely for big plays only, which could turn the Double Skirmish mode into an interesting new addition.
