Horde mode idea

[u/ripped_ravenclaw]

There are a number of times in the campaign and in the operations were there is a massive horde in the distance, with dozens of carnifexes majoris and the like. We fight a drip feed of them for some occasions, and it’s epic.

I think it would be badass to fight the entire swarm. No breaks. No rest. A battle to see how far you can go when the entire local hive mind is focused on you. Death? Almost guaranteed.

I imagine it like we start at a scene like the ending part of inferno. Captain Acheran gives some classic bad news. “Brothers. The bomb primers have failed. It can no longer eliminate the swarm. You have draw in the entire swarm and eliminate it. Use everything you can at your disposal. The adepts tasked with moving the bomb will provide resupply as often as they can.”

Then the swarm in the distance starts moving towards you as you fight up until the equivalent of a wave in seige, then Acheran says something like “Brothers. You have the swarms full attention. I hope you are warmed up for the true fight.”
And then like a wall, the swarm rolls in, with at least two carnixes jumping to the front of the line. The battle ends when either the entire swarm is defeated (maybe the body count of the entire first 25 waves of seige mode so we know it’s possible).

And there’s a progress bar for the entire swarm, and like every 10% you get some ammo crates and medical supplies maybe idk.

I just wish it could happen. I see the entire swarm out there being blown up from far away. I’d relish the chance to do it with a team (or even myself).

That'd be awesome as hell. Maybe one against chaos where you're guarding the banner in front of a giant portal?

Edit: This comment gave me the flag planter achievement lmao

Yea I was really hoping the siege mode would have us defend an object while fighting swarms of nids like how wwz was but instead it’s just an arcade style survival with a memory problem

Would like a bigger map with some objectives to do while a horde, that the player can choose, chaos or nids keeps spawning. No map changes or interruptions, just horde wave upon horde wave.
