I appreciate the effort with Lockdown to spice up the gamemodes, but very few players enjoy this new take on Control but its objective based isn't fun.
Zone Control was much better, and could be played with 12 players. 4v4 was used in tournaments/sweats (private matches) as well.
The maps don't help either. Equinox, Meltdown, Pacifica, Javelin-4 (like this map in QP but its rare for me :() and another Forsaken map are terrible to play with awful spawns, your team separated, and sometimes even spawning too far back so comebacks become difficult to pull off
So if possible, just bring back Zone Control. You can make 2 versions; One for Quickplay and another for Competitive/weekly playlist
Same for Breakthrough and Doubles. Breakthrough plays out like Rift but it punishes you for playing the objective, like the old version of Salvage in Destiny. Much more fun capturing the spark and igniting the clutch for a multi kill in a clutch moment. And now there's no 6v6.
Doubles is now round based, for some reason. Not too bad, but I enjoyed 2v2 Skirmish (Clash with revives) and Salvage. It was also the one of the few playlists where Skill Based Matchmaking was a benefit and didn't set up laggy matches.

I actually like Lockdown and Showdown. Its nice to be able to play something different every once in a while. I like Showdown even though I lost pretty much every match that I played yesterday.

lockdown is where its at though... Nice fast games(unless you decide to make them very slow), easy valor rank, good practice for spawn control. Its the whole package
-
Elimination/skirmish. I wonder why crucible is so lack luster. Can't pick your own game mode. And the well received game modes left in d1
-
I personally think Zone Control was better than the original Control.
-
I'd settle for Iron Banner Supremacy. Anything other than having to suffer through another week of control.

Edited by DeathSando: 1/23/2019 6:56:43 PMShowdown is the only new mode I like. You can keep the rest. Clash, Elimination, Rift, Control, those worked fine. I even liked combined arms, mostly for sniping people out of vehicles but still enjoyable.

Can’t enjoy breakthrough, would much rather Rift. As for Lockdown/Zone Control, it’s a nice experiment. I think I prefer Zone Control, though, because I don’t care as much for round-based game types.

Zone control=the best d1 pvp game. The most competitive games
-
Plz boss

They just need to add more game modes, and they really need just a bullshit wacky game mode everyweek, one week it’s scorched, next everyone has Prometheus lens pre nerf, then after that we could all have Hive swords with extremely increased mobility, and so on and so forth. And maybe just maybe.... they can bring rift back permanently as it’s own playlist

Personally, not a big fan of Zone Control but happy for it to be added for diversity. Agree that Breakthrough should be worked back to Rift. I would also suggest removing Control and Clash from competitive and add Showdown instead giving 3 different game modes, though adding Elimination D1 style would also be good - this would obviously have to be worked up to 4v4 to fit with the D2 parameters.
