Destiny's New PVP Battleground Inferno Clash Hits This Week

Bungie's sci-fi shooter Destiny will be getting a new battleground this week in the form of Inferno Clash. Detailed on the Bungie blog, Inferno Clash will contain a few characteristics that were present in Inferno Control mode but has a heavier emphasis on scoring kills.

These include the removal of the radar on the HUD, placing only one set of heavy ammo crates per match, and simplified scoring. For the latter, Bungie has removed "as many scoring events as possible" and made it so that assists will no longer be awarded points. The map rotation will also be carried over from Inferno Control, which featured the following maps featured in the line-up:

• The Anomaly
• Firebase Delphi
• Twilight Gap
• Rusted Lands
• Shores of Time
• Blind Watch
• Asylum
• The Burning Shrine
• The Cauldron
• Pantheon

Destiny's upcoming patch 1.1.2 update will introduce a few tweaks to the game in preparation for the House of Wolves expansion. This includes increasing the capacity for players' storage vaults, which are currently capped at 20 slots each. The update will also implement new audio options, a feature for colorblind players, and various gameplay fixes.
