Do you like the NEW CRUCIBLE MAPS?
I don't know how many there are, but I just played 3 new maps (once each) for Clash:
They were Awesome! In my opinion.
The maps seem to cater to different weapons than previous maps, which should simmer the "wahhhh I don't like Shotguns" concerns.
I love the fact that the maps are more complex with a far more developed "vertical aspect" and many different approaches to get to a particular location. The usefullness of teamwork will likely be more important with the new maps also.
Just my opinions, what do you all think of them?
-
I love Pantheon. It's beautiful, fun and tactical. The Cauldron is chaotic and fast, but fun. SkyWatch is good but boring. It would be better if it had more than 6v6.
-
I enjoy all 3 of them. Skyshock slightly less than the others because it plays so slow. They should decrease the time limit on it because the game never actually reaches the score limit anyway.
-
Like them all. Just saying Skywatch is sniper out the butt map really. Wish The Burning Shrine came up more often. Favorite map.
-
I hardly play crucible but when I did my bounty for bad juju I enjoyed the new maps a lot.
-
I feel as if they learned from the problems with other maps and incorporated that into these new ones
-
Wish it was apart of the regular rotation
-
The caldron is my new favorite map. Can't wait for control with it. Skywatch is just were people camp and snipe and Pantheon is alright
-
Hate the caldron though. All though.... I did go 25 to 0 today.... So idk now lol. I do love skyshock and pantheon!
-
I don't know, Bungie effed up the playlists so you can't even play all of the new maps. Currently only small teams maps are available in terms of DLC.
-
Oh yea crucible is a thing
-
My fav is probably cauldron. I had high hopes for pantheon, but I find it to compact/ tight spaces. I found that sky shock was almost a first light re skin, but I never liked big maps. I think pantheon is amazing, with its architecture and 3 lanes like LoL. I don't really like Skyshock but I think the developers put a lot of time into the maps.
-
skyshock is nice because i can finally use a sniper without third eye...
-
Tried two of them for first time on control and immediately went back to normal playlist so I wouldn't get them again. Skyshock started and immediately saw 3 or 4 scopes. Thought ok this is what everyone was talking about. Didn't get killed but went for flags and noticed no one was even trying to get either of our two flags. Went over to clear out snipers and they were gone. Spent rest of match just trying to find someone to kill. Seems difficult to even find anyone, maybe too big? The cauldron. Well destiny already has a lot of cherry picking but this one promotes it to the max. Saw very few actual exchanges of fire back and forth. Every time there was a kill it was someone on our team killing them before they could turn around or the, doing it to us. Don't mind smaller rooms but every single one has 3 or 4 entrances. Any time two people actually met head on and started firing back and forth one of them got cherry picked from the side.

1 ReplyMaybe it's too early but I really don't like them. They take two of my least favorite weapons and make them the primarily used weapons: shotguns and sniper rifles. And I find Clash terrible boring. I prefer an objective. Are the new maps in the Control rotation? I have yet to play them in control.
-
1 ReplyI love Pantheon but despise the other two. What really annoys me is I played for these maps and I can't choose what map I play on. I've played Pantheon twice in twenty plus games in the The Dark Below playlist. I've played on Skyshock at least seven times in a row now. As I'm typing this Skyshock is loading up.
-
1 ReplyI like all 3 of them for now. Skyshock is a massive improvement over Bastion and First Light. Although I think it would be better suited to Control or with more vehicles present. Cauldron is decent. The doors are useful chokepoints and seem to focus the action. Pantheon is starting to grow on me. I like the cramped hallways but mid to long range sight lines on Pantheon. But I still get turned around every so often.
-
1 ReplyGarbage maps enforcing shotguns and close range again. The sniper one on earth ain't bad, but why the -blam!- can't they make more midrange maps where there is actually a real firefight?
-
I love them
-
Skyshock sniping is love. Skyshock sniping is life.
-
Skyshock is great for people who snipe. Pantheon is for shotguns/fusion rifles and TLW. Cauldron would be great for control.
-
They might be the best 3 maps in the game. In the black garden one I started 24-0 in my first game there, I love it.
-
1 ReplyI've only played two so far, he moon one and Pantheon. I will say this, Pantheon is a TERRIBLE map to play rumble on. I had a 1k point lead in the game and slowly watched it get eaten away simple because I couldn't find anyone for like a full minute. Giant maze is right.
-
Edited by omnicron007: 12/10/2014 12:23:55 AMToo soon to say imo, but none really stand out. Pantheon features too much close-quarters combat and is just a giant maze. I spend most of my time there trying to find other players. I do like it though, and I'm sure that it's a lot better once you gain more map awareness. Skywatch is lol, probably one of the worst maps I've played next to Bastion imo. Too much open space. The two Skywatch matches I played were just giant sniper rifle cluster -blam!-s. Boring. I thought they would've learned from the community's reaction to First Light and Bastion, but I guess not. The moon map is pretty good. Probably the best out of the three, even if it's still a close-quarters map. I hate doors but that's my opinion. Overall they're ok. Skywatch is bad and I'll instantly leave the second I get that map unless I want to just dick around with my sniper.
