    Bungie has started rolling out a new 2v2 Doubles mode to play within Destiny's competitive multiplayer Crucible. Focused upon two teams of two Guardians, Doubles is the first in a series of experimental modes that Bungie is trying out for the Crucible.

    Revives are enabled in Doubles, while heavy ammo will only appear once a match. It's described as a 'gun game', in the latest Bungie Weekly Update, with Design Lead Lars Bakken recommending players rely on their wits, weapon and a shared strategy.

    “Your Supers will come back more slowly because you’re not getting as many actions per minute as you would in a game of Control,” says Bakken. “The goal here was about taking the rules we already have and mixing them up to create a fresh experience. Each player has the full weight of winning or losing placed squarely on their shoulders and nobody to blame but themselves... or their teammate. No pressure."

    It's also worth noting that Space Magic will need to be used wisely, as a Double Down will be the most you'll get out of it. You might also run into a lot of Guardians with Ice Breaker weapons, as over 1.1 million players (1,143,320 to be precise) spent their strange coins on one from Xûr last week.
