I've made this kind of thread a few times before. I'm hoping that this time it gains traction because it's really important. We need large maps. We already have three large maps that are simply exiled to a playlist that sometimes comes around. It's not enough. I always thought that when first light and bastion were removed from the regular 6v6 playlists that it was a short term change to make room for a true big team battle playlist. It wasn't. From everything I can tell Bungie has abandoned large scale maps. Bungie. Has abandoned. Large scale maps. What happened? The lack of large scale maps is a balance issue, hence the tag. Scout rifles are starting to come into their own but there's just no use when every map plays into the ideal ranges of pulse rifles and shotguns (formerly exotic handcannons and shotguns). Personally I'm not a fan of sniping but I'd like to see maps where snipers are more valued (but can still be approached). Just anything to break up the tight cooridors and hallways and doorways and the god awful "big circle, little circle, open grenade hell in the middle" maps. It's one thing if you decided to leave vehicles behind entirely. I get it, it's not halo. It's another to leave vehicles in this current vegetative state. It's an utter disgrace because anyone that's spent the last 10 years with you knows what you're capable of with vehicles and it currently looks like they were phoned in at the last second. Please. Just either get them some help or just put them down I can't bear to see them in pain like this. We have fireteams of three for strikes and story missions and teams of six for raids and crucible. Just ugh it doesn't have to be a warthog it could be a large sparrow or some kind of sweet hover car or stolen fallen tech or something but just make a three seater vehicle for our squad to conduct drive-bys on the darkness. It's such an obvious idea please JUST DO IT. The fact that this is supposed to be a social game but without any kind of cooperative vehicles is just how how was this not obvious? Why do the vex and the hive not have vehicles? Like they don't have to be vehicles in the sense of cars but you could easily use an organic symbiotic hive power armor with boomer cannons or a light arial craft that works under the same premises for the vex. Like the flavor text on the vog armor talks about it being bonded with your flesh just imagine the possibilities here. Map designers and sandbox designers of Bungie: I know you can do better. Bungie has a huge legacy to live up to here but I believe in you all. You can do it. Just believe in yourselves don't run away and hide your maps and vehicles take the challenge head on and become legend damn it.
