It's not bad. The matchmaking needs work. Why can't we play against people that are around our skill level. One match is good the next a complete blowout. I can see a big skill gap in some games. A close game or hard game is fun. A complete blowout just sucks then my team.mate leaves because they aren't having fun and all I can do is run away. Honestly I think all the devs should solo que and play at least 10 matches with complete random to see what it's like. Come on guys feel our pain. Maybe if you do that you will have a better understanding of some of the feedback

I have played and I enjoy it very much. But I kinda want a more objective game mode to it. And maybe add some special super small maps that are basically cqb (close quarter battles) so you are maiming shotguns and sub-machine guns. That would be awesome!

It's been a while since I've commented on forums but I had to thank Bungie for what they've done here. I haven't been able to play much since hurricane Maria blasted my island. I don't have internet nor power at my home and I go to a friend's house who has, and when I login I go for PVP and usually end up having a good time. Yeah some stuff could be fixed but today's all about Doubles. The event A-. Tess isn't a moneysink 11/10 Check off loot pool 11/10 If I can't play and get everything believe me I'd spend a buck or two. Loot 8/10 I didn't expect a weapon or armor but would have liked a ship to top it all off. But more importantly ghost perks that are meaningful for crucible instead or random that bring no benefit and exotic sparrows that [i]feel[/i] instead of [b]look[/b] exotic would be swell. [u]Doubles specific[/u]: 2v2 feels fair - A D1 trials reminiscent feeling. - As long as you've got a steady partner. - It doesn't feel good to beat on solos, but that's a bigger issue. The [i]debuff[/i] marker made sense. -Straying away from a partner, promoted enemy engagements and sticking to a teammate (aside from thematic) felt good and purposeful instead of trashy and unskilled for teamshooting "like we're supposed to do". The [b]buff[/b] made sense but... -The ability cooldown is a bit on the high side when you're buffed but strongly improved pace and played well within the game mode. [u]Hard no-no's: shinobu spam, shadestep/perma invis, wombo combo nonsense[/u]. I know none of these are a ohk but I can't see a darn thing the whole match. And 2 hunters looping stardust that chases brings back D1 PTSD. Overall like I said A-. Keep it up. Thanks again Bungie. Pray I get internet and power at my place soon.

Not very fun. Hunters are totally broken for 2v2. Golden gun lasts too long, they can go invisible and run away when they can't win, and they are everywhere. Time to kill is too slow to have any real effect of standing a chance on your own when it comes to that, which it does often. Making progress for going 1/5 doesn't feel very good. Here's your pittance for going through such an ordeal. Okay, that first part was pretty rage induced. Here's my more calmed down, thought out opinion. It's still harsh. In the current state of the Crucible, 2v2 has no place. This is due to one class being ultimately superior to the other two, the spawns working against you too much, the slow ttk, and matchmaking that makes no sense. I shall elaborate: Hunters. Congrats. With even fewer people, your abilities become almost god like. Unless you have a mouse and keyboard, your ability to go invisible gives you an aim assist off switch. With the sped up ability recharge, your smoke grenades can constantly leave opponents stuck in molasses. At least once, my partner and I nearly got double wiped by the golden gun. Going up against a Titan or another Warlock, I felt I had a fair shot at coming away with a win. With even just a competent Hunter aware of their class abilities, it wasn't even a fight or fun. The matchmaking was wildly inconsistent. I have only played six games so far, but out of them, one was a really close game that could have gone either way. Three games in a row my partner and I were blown out, wasn't even fun, we discussed stopping and maybe coming back later. The other two we blew the other team out. It wasn't even a contest those games. Some tweaking is definitely needed to maintain a more consistent experience, i.e. less blowouts. The spawns are also in need of looking at. For a mode that wants you to stick close to your teammate, several times I had me or my partner spawn across the map from each other. With the rounds being so short, it is a waste of time trying to get back together and continue the fight. By that time the opponents can effectively fortify themselves, and if you try going in one on two, it's sheer suicide (unless you're a Hunter. You probably could do a two on one). And finally, the TTK is still too slow for a mode like this. The maps are actually too large, in my opinion for 2v2 to not turn into a chase and shoot sort of affair. Being unable to effectively defeat your opponent in a 1v1 situation leaves the opponent to much of an opportunity to run and hide. Errors in tactical judgement are too easily forgiven and when the opponent runs, catching up can sometimes be difficult. As my closing statement, Doubles has not been the most enjoyable experience so far. Without some major tweaks to the classes and mechanics, there isn't much fun to be had. If the rewards were worth chasing, I would be willing to put up with more of it, but I have no room for more ghosts and sparrows. They all get dismantled. Next time, please include something worth chasing like another armor set or even a new weapon.

I do enjoy this 2v2 playlist only because it’s nostalgic and refreshing. However, the joy that came with this playlist got kind of tainted because of a major reason for me: I absolutely, whole heartedly, resent any implemented mechanic in Crucible that promotes hand holding, A.K.A stick around and shoot. I still truly believe, despite the effort you guys are putting to fix everything, teams at Bungie fail to truly understand SOME problems. THE WHOLE TEAM SHOOTING idea is one prime reason out of many others that has pushed players away from Crucible. Just that mechanic by itself, is enough to dull the gameplay. I know you’ve listened to people who seek more heroic moments, and thought cranking up the volume knob on abilities is one way to grant them that wish, ( well! it is) but still dont see you guys to understand that as long as ‘HAND HOLDING’ is present in Crucible, all other buffed elements are gonna remain undermined, It acts like a domino effect, that’s it. I’m aware of The upcoming changes and can foresee, to some extend, the changes in gameplay they can bring with them. This is just how I see things as of right now.

If you are a hunter and use the skip grenade and the exotic arms, you are literally a shitty person

I think a 2v2v2v2 would have been more exciting. Four teams, 2 players per team. It could've been called "Lovers' Quarrel", or something equally cheesy. I also think it would be cool if there was an option to have a 2 player team take on a lost sector with double the amount of enemies and a time limit to successfully loot it for extra rewards and experience. This is just an idea to create a new gameplay opportunity without having to create entirely new content.
