It's simply one of the most fun game modes in the crucible.
For those who do not know, Rift is essentially a Crucible gamemode where both teams have a "Rift" at their base. The goal is to collect the "Spark" and dunk it (or backflip dunk it) to the enemy's Rift to score points. First team to score 20k wins.
You can read the full info on it on Destiny Wiki
Here's some gameplay footage by Datto
External link →Rift always seemed to have a mixed reception. It required a great deal of teamwork so if you were running stacked you would have a good time, but if you were matchmaking with teammates, it could get away from you pretty quick. At least that's the experience and feedback I remember most, especially during Iron Banner.
I'll definitely share the feedback posted here, feel free to add to it below. If it did come back, would you want any changes made or for us to keep it as close to the OG D1 version as possible?
Personally, I think the main takeaway when people ask for things like rift and srl back is that we'd like more wacky modes in general. Things like momentum control, mayhem, and scorched are great because they're just a silly time and a nice break from all the sweatiness of the usual pvp scene.
Bungie made some awesome gametypes back in the day, griffball, infection, king of the hill, etc. We need more wackiness in general in my opinion as a complement to the more serious modes.
Just my 2 cents.
This is good feedback. Moar wackiness!
THE DUNK, COZMO! THE DUNK!
Doing a sweet backflip dunk was always fun times in D1.
Yea easily the best part of rift. Especially when you got multiple kills with it.
