He also said that ToO is the most competitive game mode Bungie has ever created. EVER! This includes the Halo games.
[u]Let that marinate for a second. [/u]
Now, if he genuinely believes that I'm not surprised by the current state of Destiny PvP. Not that he's in charge of it but I strongly believe that Bungie employees are afraid to tell eachother when something is wrong so what he's saying is probably the consensus over at Bungie HQ.
If he had said "least forgiving" game mode I might have given him the benefit of doubt but "most competitive" is just ridiculous. For starters, a game that is as broken as Destiny can never become competitive. The netcode is the worst EVER, there is no proper matchmaking, the abilities are gimmicky and the maps are horrible. And this is what he's comparing to the flawless executions that were the MLG and TO playlists in the Halo games. Even Reach Arena beats ToO out of the water.
He's also saying that he would have wished that Destiny was played in a more competitive fashion on twitch. Well....yeah. The only problem with that is that no real PvP'er would go near it, due to the things I listed above. Fix your shit (although I believe it's way too late for that) and you might see it.

Honestly as competive as halo was the only thing on the line was your rank. ToO is super competitive because drops are on the line. This is coming from someone who had a few 50's in halo 2 and 3

If he actually said that he's deadass lost.

Look at the way they attempt to balance weapons. They do these massive nerf or buff sweeps and then wonder why everyone uses one weapon type. I would think of you truly wanted to balance you would do small increments for each weapon type until you hit a point that they are balance. I think the other reason they do these massive nerfs/buff's is because they don't attempt to balance weapons often enough. Since they do them every 3 or 6 months I think they feel it's necessary to completely change a weapon type in one update.

The ironic part is if they marketed it right they could be on to something. What if they said from now on they will re balance weapons every 3 months. So every 3 months a new weapon type will be "king" the key is to find the weopon type, then find the gun, then get the roll you want. All of this atleast for me is kinda what has actually kept me playing for so long. First it was finding a bad ass auto rifle and fusion rifle. Then it was hand cannons and shotguns. Now it's moved to pulse rifles and snipers. As the game evolves I welcome finding the new "meta". I can't wait to start playing with numbers and finding the new best weapon type come december. Just a thought.

Edited by turbtators: 11/30/2015 3:16:15 AMIt's an interesting perspective. I personally would prefer an over all balance with any choice being an adequate option depending on the situation. I will admit the way they nerf and buff weapons has forced me to use weapons that I probably never would have. Which has allowed me to understand those weapons that I probably never would have given a chance if everything was balanced.
