Checkmate trials
Talk about a game mode no one asked for.
-
not really if they change the ttk to match the normal crucible one the mode is perfect
-
I think checkmate is actually quite good for Trials. I didn't like it in sixes, but seems to fit Trials nicely.

22 RepliesI actually think it's a great game mode. You have to play with skill instead of rushing with a shotgun or staying all the way back in the map with snipers.

Edited by MonkeydudeDJ: 12/25/2023 9:35:21 PMI don't understand it, they brought checkmate in to try to bring more game modes in, but something like trials, you don't bring it into until its a finalized thing, its so stupid. You're basically asking for people to be mad at you, and then you just sit there like "I did nothing wrong". Don't mess with trials

6 RepliesEveryone hated regular checkmate… so they put it in trials? Bungie wtf

Nerf bows in checkmate pls

2 RepliesYa'll just crying cause you can't crutch specials off the rip. I managed to solo flawless just fine with just using gravition lance and the only problems I had were people leaving the match early over being impatient on losing. In the words of Bear Grylls: "Improvise. Adapt. Overcome." Aka git gud.

2 RepliesIt seems completely unbalanced. Take a team with just slightly better players they get more kills faster . Then reward them with getting special ammo first and you end up with a snowball effect , did bungie really think this through. This isnt it ,back to the drawing board bungie .

5 RepliesAlot asked for it. Alot asked for a shakeup in the "braindead-special-isnt-special" kinda meta which has been ruling since the removal of double primaries. I think this right here shakes up the game. And it works. Is it perfect? Perhaps not. But it is a step for the better. It's not like special is removed, you just gotta earn it. And then the true power of special comes to shine.

Wow ... the brilliance of bungle at its finest.. and you wonder why your game is in decline ..

I just like the part where about 3 streamers said it was good in Labs and then bungie decided that meant shove it down everyone's throat in every way possible get real

There are too many cheats for this to be enjoyable anymore.

16 RepliesEdited by Eatz: 12/23/2023 1:30:01 PMIt’s just so slow and BORING. Yeah, getting rushed by morons with fusion rifles is annoying, (and not getting fusioned a single time on this map was refreshing) but now it’s just 3 people huddled together teamshooting anything that comes around the corner. If everyone switches to mida and Uriel’s gift, it’s year 1 all over again. This CANNOT be what Bungie is trying to to turn PvP into. This gamemode turns people into COWARDS. Checkmate should be a bonus gamemode and nothing more. If people want this boring, guns only style of play, holy -blam!- for the 500th -blam!- ing time, GO PLAY CALL OF DUTY. Edit: It does not matter what game mode you play, bad players will always complain when they get beaten by good players. It’s the way the game has always been, and increasing ttk and cooldowns isn’t gonna change that.

5 RepliesEdited by Demoness Oja: 12/23/2023 12:06:38 AMI don’t see the merit of having a game mode where players are rewarded for their efforts with special ammo. So if you’re killing, you get special ammo… but if you’re killing in Trials you’re winning… and if you get special ammo—and the other team doesn’t know you got it—chances are you’re cementing your win. That’s not really competitive and strips the opponents of the chance to come back and win. That’s not competitive. I’m not saying that just because someone on the other team has special ammo, you can’t turn the game around but it’s not competitive. Now if you killed someone that had special ammo and could recover it, that makes sense. It’s not fair a team is beating you, gets special ammo to help them continue beating you 🤷🏽♀️ it works in 6’s but doesn’t belong in Trials. And another thing—I play gunslinger and I need my knife to help fight off peacekeeper titans such, take the one-shot precision down and my grenade takes forever to spawn up. If my opponent has Strand how is it every round I’m getting swarmed by threadlings for the duration of every flipping round!!? Reduce the damage or turn the frequency of use down on that mess too. Checks and balances but keep anything that’s an annoying crutch.

5 RepliesMy main gripe about this game mode is that you need good teammates to win, and so if you’re solo it completely RNG. Just played a few games to test it out and to be perfectly honest I won’t be returning, regardless of how well I perform I the combination of health and lower weapon damage make it borderline impossible to clutch.

2 RepliesOn a weekend where it would have been most fun if all stayed as usual.... checkmate control is fun in a team. Solo wasn't fun so much. In trials I def go in solo and wow I left after one game.

4 RepliesLast week and the week before there were 23k around this time. Now there’s 15640. Even with a holiday and everyone is off and only 15k during peak time. Terrible call to do this mode

Worst experience ever. I'm not a pro player, but I do get flawless every weekend, so I can tell that I'm not pro enough to carry 2 people every match because matchmaking is absolute trash. People quit even more than usual, everyone is just camping with bows at the back, and once the other team or you get special, comeback it's almost impossible. I've been in both sides. I managed to get to the 6th win twice with both mercies. Lost both mercies those 2 times because my team quit even if we were winning by 2 rounds. 3 of those matches I ended up alone and losing my chance to go flawless. And not because I got against skilled players, they just camp in the back and the other one 1 taps you if you already got hit by a bow at the back from the map. And the zone makes the camping even worse. I don't care if you think it is "skill issue", I already stated I'm average. I'm just sharing my experience as a regular player that used to enjoy Osiris. But it's not like Bungie cares about player's opinion, lmao.

3 RepliesCheckmate is making me love the pvp again, I find it hilarious how many of you hate using your primaries lol. Cant crutch in cheesy builds or specials for easy kills so you all hate a mode that requires actual gunplay and skill. Cant even argue that you cant flank and go for multikills because I’m managing just fine. I know positioning is a new world to you guys but it makes a huge difference how well you do if you learn it.
-
2 RepliesAwh, they add some skill to your game mode and destiny players can’t handle it 😅
-
9 RepliesQuite the contrary. You all asked for more gunplay and less ability spam. Lie in your graves
-
5 RepliesIts not a bad game mode it just needs some more weapon and ability tuning. As it is now its kind of boring
