Destiny Now Has Private Matches!!!

Yep, that's right! Private matches, perhaps the most requested game feature in Destiny's history, are finally here!

The new private match system, accessible through the director allows you and your fireteam to play against each other. And of course, there's multiple options you can choose from when creating a match. You're free to select the game type, map, score and time limits, and can also choose whether Light factors into player damage. Here's the full list of options:

Game Types:
Control
Clash
Rift
Skirmish
Elimination
Rumble
Salvage
Zone Control
Inferno Clash
Inferno Rumble
Inferno Salvage
Inferno Skirmish
Mayhem Clash
Mayhem Rumble 

Maps:
The Anomaly
Asylum
Banenrfall
Bastion
Black Shield
Blind Watch
The Burning Shrine 
Cathedral of Dusk
The Cauldron
Crossroads
The Drifter
The Dungeons
Exodus Blue
Firebase Delphi
First Light
Frontier
Memento
Pantheon
Rusted Lands
Shores of TIme
Skyshock
Thieve's Den
The Timekeeper
Twilight Gap
Vertigo
Widow's Court

While it is a bit sad to see that there aren't any more advanced options like modifying weapon ammunition, player health/shields, player speed, or even gravity like in the Halo franchise, it's still good nonetheless to see Private Matches added to Destiny. After all, more features can always come later, right?
