Baffles me that they have not done a horde mode. Everyother great series has a survival/horde mode. It is essentially for adding to content without adding to much code and time. A little goes a long way.

Right. People even enjoyed it in ODST for the most part. People love it in Gears. CoD Zombies is basically Horde Mode. Like you said: it's a way to add content that is engaging with less coding and time (presumably) compared to other additions. Once they got a groove going, I think it's something that would just need maintenance and seasonal changes.

Exactly. Its easy. Spawn increasingly difficult enemies from certain locations on a map that is already being played on. And there is so much that can be added to create endless hours of play. Gears did it very well i think. I dont get how companies havnt figured out that we just wanna play with a few buddies. Defend one location via skill and teamwork from mobs of dumb computers till we are just overwhelmed and annihilated. Over and over again. Im not a big pvp person so not having a horde mode really sux for me.

Yeah I think that's one thing that is missing from a design standpoint: PVE isn't always as inherently re-playable without a little more love and craft unless you add in a way to add more PVE content quickly or have additional, sometimes repetitive modes. Horde filles that because of the "play with a few buddies" frame of mind. It's a hectic game mode that grabs you and really pulls you in because of the experiences you create with friends. Chaos + Challenge + Friends = memories and profit for both sides. In short: fun.

No matter how OP you are or how great you work together, the horde always wins.

They make break your body and your mind, but your battle will be legendary.

After players are left beaten and broken on the ground they stand back and say im better than that. And the cycle continues. I could get down to horde mode forever. Players love having the odds against them and still prevailing. That creates the passion. I think the passion for Destiny left when the devlopers made everybody the same. There is no more passion to be better because they made us all equal with nothing to seperate one player from another. We all use the same guns. All use the same class perks. Nothing unique but our names.....sad days.
