[b]Edit: this has been posted on the destiny reddit if you would rather post on there. [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2y23cf/inferno_why_it_doesnt_promote_team_play_and_is/[/url][/b] Instead of making a Huge Article about why Inferno is a step in a bad direction for Crucible. I'm just going to make statement about things and who they are counter intuitive for what bungie says inferno is suppose to be. Inferno is suppose to promote 2 things, Gunplay and Teamwork. Unfortunately the way inferno is set up not only does not help the game of ether of these, but is many ways make the game worse. [u][b]two main changes cause this to happen [/b][/u] •the removal of assist • the removal of radar [u]first all cover the removal of Assist scoring [/u] Assist scoring is what drives Teamwork is standard Crucible. There are may ways to grab assist, from getting kills, to using the Sunsinger's "Song of Flame" to reduce the CD of your allies Abilities. In standard Crucible. These assist would give you point so you feel rewarded for helping you team. Unfortunately all of this is removed in Infernos " simplified scoring". You may still get the assist, but even if you get 50 +assists, you will always be in the bottom of the leader board and to most people seem like dead weight( even tho in reality you helping you team more then the Average solo players). Those removal of all rewards from helping you teammates forcing players out of Build that would be best for teamwork and in turn lowers the over all teamwork that would be achieved. [u][i][b]TL; DR : The removal of assist scoring removes the reward for using team based abilities and build causing players to use less team based build and punishing players for using team / assist centric builds. Lowering teamwork and team play. [/b][/i][/u] [u]Next I'm going to talk about how the Remove the radar removes the reward for successful planning and Map knowledge and promotes camping.[/u] Being a player who was with bungie back in its halo years. I'm very familiar with there MLG, swat and "pro" playlist that remove Radar. let me Start out with saying that i have NEVER been a fan of the idea of removing radar. what people fail to understand about Radar ( especially is destiny ) is that even if it serves in a motion sensor in most game. It's what games use to replace the ability to Hear players and be able to decide where they were coming from. back when Radars were first implemented. directional hearing in games was not posable. Radar is suppose to be what you hear. destiny radar is a great example of this. that way destiny radar works is in IMHO is the best radar he have had in games in a long time. it works in giving you a general area of where the person is. Then using Map knowledge and Logic you and figure out where a player is. Now, before you say " but we have directional Hearing now, we don't need radar anymore." let me explain why the flaws with only having directional hearing ATM. Currently there are only 2 ways to take full advantage of Directional hearing. Using an Expensive pair of Stereo noise canceling Headphones or using a surround sounds system. unless you have one of these in use. its extremely hard to tell the direction of sounds in game. Also with the removal of Radar Camping now has once again become a viable option when it comes to kills. even when you check a corner your most likely jus tot get killed by a Shotgun since they are already waiting to kill you. [u][i][b]TL: DR No radar lowers gunplay and promoting Camping and also does removes the ability to plan out your fights and achieve a high lvl of Gunplay skill.
