An additional feature coming to Season 13 will be competitive PvE scenarios, called War Games, these will have 10 players in total, split into two groups of 5, who then have to finish the objective for that mission before the other team does. This is possibly one of the reasons we saw work being made on balance changes, although there is still going to be a that skill gap and the potential for large DPS groups being able to dominate the queues. We will have to see if those balance changes will help newer or less geared players to be able to compete on a level playing field, or if premade groups of 5 are randomly split between the two teams, this would also help prevent massive steamrolling of other players in a competitive queue.
Another way the War Games system is going to work is by adding in a new Player Potential system, this will extend to PvP and assumes that it would match players of equalling skill levels with each other. Not much has been revealed about this system yet, on top of this, there is another new reputation (hope you've been keeping up on those), which will have class specific ground and space sets.
