The following is an excerpt from my feedback thread detailing why I don't like the Crucible. The rest can be found here: http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/74382925/0/0 2) PVP. Where oh where to begin? a. Too few maps. I think that's enough said on that. b. The netcode is the worst I've ever seen in a video game. Hands down, no exaggeration. I have had it take 6 or 7 seconds, not super rarely either, for a kill to register on my screen after the kill shot was delivered. Melee trade kills, damage dealt and then reverted. It's been challenging to play more than a few matches at a time, if at all. c. Too few vehicles. I miss the days of Banshees overhead, tanks quaking the ground, Warthog sprees, and that other stupid purple thing that can go to hell because it ran me over all the time and I always died when I tried to use it. Perhaps I am a bit biased. I have been playing BF4 for the last year because Halo 4 didn't hold my interest and I have never been able to stomach CoD. Maybe vehicles do not fit in with your design goals. I will say this: mastering a difficult vehicle in Halo or Battlefield is one of the most rewarding things I have ever done in an online PVP game. d. There is no progression system of any kind for the Crucible. At the very least, there should be a weekly and/or daily leaderboard. Bare minimum. There are no ranks to be attained, no real rewards other than the pure randomness of RNG, and, in my mind, zero incentive to even try to deal with the netcode. It feels shallow and tacked on rather than a fleshed out and planned mode that has been lovingly crafted. e. There is no voice chat for your team. I don't need or want to trash talk the enemy team, but I'd sure like to be able to make callouts to let my teammates know danger is inbound.

The crucible is not frustrating as a skilled arena, but a laggy mess where anything could happen. When I join games mid-progress and wrestle my team into a fighting stance only to be kicked to orbit by error code beaver or kingfisher. When my team perpetually leaves, and I have a rotating roster of 3 players that never stay long enough to build up a super and share light orbs. Where I narrowly escape an enemy only to be killed 20 meters around a corner because on his screen I wasn't behind cover. I'm not the best at PvP, but I am no slouch either, the crucible is a perpetual pain for just the lag issues in my opinion. The classes are balanced well enough and the guns seem to be more or less the same way, it's just the awful amount of lag. And before you say it's my fault, I've got an Ethernet directly to my modem and have on verizon's fiber-optic network, so I highly doubt that's the issue. Also the fact that in almost every other game I play online, I haven't got the same issues.

"Back to the gladiatorial pits , you slave dog!" Ha, ha!

"Why would you not enjoy crucible?" We're not all the same, we don't all like the same things.

Dude its fun lol all the specials and dance taunts, man I love it. Just seeing someone play it makes me want to get on and just kill ppl too haha
