I don't actually like driving the sparrow that much.

Just think how much more fun it would be if rockets were flying & you & timing your LB/RB sideways-jump was the way to dodge.

I really hate the cooldown mechanic on the sparrow's abilities. Removing that would improve them a lot.

Mario Kart Race? (reply)

How about you get to use weapons on your sparrow? You shoot just like normal and have some kind of emp grenade with a cooldown just like your normal grenade. You also charge a super which can be sped up by killing enemies on the map or destroying a guardian on their sparrow. Not sure what the super would do exactly yet though. Perhaps if you were a titan you'd have some kind of area effect (think fist of havok except you don't move anywhere), if you were a warlock you'd get a nova bomb, and if you were a hunter you'd get a single-shot kill weapon for guardians in front of you.

Also, you have two options labeled "3".

What would a competitive race mode be like?

If you were Bungie and were secretly working on a race mode, what would you go for?

1. Serious race. No guns, no enemies. Collision physics only time trials.
2. Mario Kart race. Enemies blunder about. Players can run them over to access gear to shoot at other players. Ride specific supers charge as the race goes on and with "style" moves.
3. Pod race. No guns, but enemies are present to take potshots and get in the way.
3. Rocket Race: Players ride a new 2 person vehicle with a driver and gunner.
4. Iron Banner Race: Sparrows Matter! Upgrade your sparrow to make it uniquely yours*.

*"Uniquely yours" means that everyone will have a set of gear identical to yours with perhaps one or two substitutions, and will equip the same class item and shader so they all look the same.
