The Magic that was SRL

[quote]SRL was trash and only losers want it back.[/quote] ^Please don’t be negative. it’s fine if you don’t like SRL but you don’t have to be a dike about it. I fondly remember that feeling when the game gave me the sparrow. The visuals the handling and the noise. The noise the engine made when speeding up was so awesome. While it’s pretty useless in most situations the emotes that can be used on the sparrow just show how much care they put in the vehicle. However other than that the sparrow wasn’t seen as much more than a way to get around the map... until SRL. SRL was probably the most fun I’ve ever had playing destiny. The mode worked so well with the sparrows. New perks like doing tricks to make the sparrow faster and the ability to cut corners was amazing. You also had the boost pads that would increase your speed. And the maps OH THE MAPS! The maps where new and unique. On mars you were racing along the cliffs, driving through the city, and let’s not forget those Cabal turbines. Venus had you driving through a vex structure hoping through portals and dodging lasers. At the end you used a fallen skiff as a ramp while a Spider Walker took pot shots at you. The horns! Oh how could you forget about the horns. There was always that brief down time before the race where players would spam the horn button. My personal favorite was the gjallarhorn horn. After honking the horn I would always listen closely to hear wolves howling in the distance. The SRL book rewarded you for placing first and just playing the game mode. Completing matches gave new sparrows and armor. The armor was new and unique. Not reskined and old. I loved the cloak that left a trail behind you while using a sparrow. Bungie went even further by adding the mode to custom games. So I could race with friends even when the event wasn’t active. Best of all! Eververse wasn’t involved. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 All the armor and sparrows were earn able through playing the event.

  • Seems like the community is divided on SRL. Some like it, others dont. Me personally I enjoyed it. It was something different and fun that they experimented with for a short time. I dont much care for PvP just cause I'm not very good. I know I'm not good and know I wont ever be, and I'm fine with that. SRL was a nice change from the PvE game though that added the competition into the game in a mode that I could compete at because it wasn't based on skilled gunplay. Same reason I enjoy Gambit. Its not strictly PvP but still has that competition in it. While I would be happy to see SRL come back in some fashion, especially with the locations we have in D2, I dont want it to come back and everything cool be locked behind the Eververse, which is what would happen. It would be nice to see Amanda get some attention in the hangar since there's nothing going on down there. Lore wise theres some things that could make sense for locations. Calus has a racetrack on his Leviathan. Osiris has us racing through the Infinite Forest from past, to present, to future. Heck, with the Black Garden being the new raid location, maybe throw a map in there somewhere. There are options. Destiny is a diverse game and can be whatever the developers choose it to be. It's not designed for "hardcore" or "casual" players. Its designed for an experience. The way you collect in-game items determines you're style of play. Just because someone doesn't play as much as you or dont play the content you do doesn't mean they should be shut down on their thoughts and ideas. I think SRL can find a nice niche back into the game at some point and would break up the repetition in the seasons.
