It’s trash. Gives good amount of Engrams but I got put in legit 10 games in a row with 1-2 rounds complete and I had no partner

I actually started out as a hater but that's because I hadn't broken out my sentinal with suppressor grenade over load yet. Once I found my load out it became a lot of fun.

2v2 needs to stay.

if we had snipers and shotguns etc in our 2nd weapon slot it would be alot more fun and alot more balanced. abilities feel better but we need to spawn with special weapons 2 primaries is just driving me further away from the game as a whole and lack of random rolls furthers that.. but abilities feel better.

HORRIBLE game mode. Whoever had the idea for this should be fired. This game mode is grenades and grenades only. Bungee loves to kill their game even more every chance they get.

The first suggestion I'd make is next Tuesday when this ends, immediately switch normal PvP to these ability cooldowns and leave them there until the balance patch is ready because they may be a little fast, but they're WAAAY closer to where they need to be than what we have and they make PvP fun. In year one of Destiny I lived in the Crucible. In HoW I basically only logged in for IB, but I played basically every hour I was awake and not at work. Years 2 and 3, I thought PvP got largely ruined but still played because we could do it as a team of six with all our friends. D2 took that away and so I've had almost no desire to play PvP in D2. It isn't really fun solo and 4v4 ruins raid teams and we can't choose modes so we're stuck playing types we hate. The last 2 days, I haven't wanted to stop playing Crucible. Solo or with a fireteam partner, it's easily the most fun Destiny PvP has been since HoW. I've said from the start and this I think shows it definitively that grenades don't need to be buffed, they just need to be [i]available[/i] more. Melee need to be 2 hit kills. High risk/reward guns that punish missing need to have sightly faster kill times. I really hope that the sandbox team understands how much better this PvP is and that this isn't a one off experience.

All in all, super fun time. I feel like the hunter's a little too strong in this game mode compared to the other two classes, mostly due to the almost constant invisibility that's possible while staying near your partner. I also feel like heavy shouldn't spawn quite as often, make it something like it only shows up in rounds 3 and 5, a la d1 trials. Obviously heavy is and should be a game changer, but most rounds where heavy is involved become blowouts very quickly. I'd be in favor of heavy only spawning one or two rounds as it would increase intensity of those moments. If it only spawns in rounds 3 and 5, gaining heavy could put the game away in most situations.

Having s blast

Worst PvP experience to date in D2. The amount of network manipulation/modded opponents/lag switches in so few matches was unbearable. When people activate their supers and disappear to reappear behind you 40 yards away in under a second to kill you, plain out disappear and stop taking damage to reappear to kill you with that 1 magic bullet.... unplayable. Providing the rewards for playing provides those people to manipulate the game to farm the engrams for the gear and as much brightdust they want with little effort. 6 matches and only 1 was free of any of this. I cannot be bothered to play anymore from the frustration from all of it. Not had any of this in IB or regular crucible. If by now I still get matchmade with people doing this, the system is clearly not working. Why can’t people be kicked from matches if their Ping gets too high or unstable? And if it constantly happens, why are they still allowed to be matched in and provide horrible playing conditions for others? Also why don’t heroic strikes or nightfalls have a chance for crimson packages? Why is the easiest method to get them PvP YET AGAIN? From someone who tries to average 100 IB matches each time it’s out (super casual I know but work and life commitments) this is the worst PvP I’ve experienced and I love the concept of the mode. The instability and connection issues you seem to be unable to solve after almost 4 years have made it so I’m not playing 2v2 anymore. I’ll still give the next IB a go since I love them, but if these issues cannot be solved in matchmaking, I’ll be stopping PvP altogether by next expansion. And with the lack of reasons to continually to do things in PvE (give us more heroic adventures every week or two with hard to get unique gear/exotics/whatever on a daily lockout to give me a reason to run them please) I’ll have to shelve the game till the next expansion and hope for the best. Love this game, love splitting time between PvE and PvP after work to unwind no get stressed out from the instability in the P2P connections.

Came back to play doubles. Absolutely love the game mode since I have someone I like playing with. Still figuring out what some of the buffs do. Only changes I think should be that players shouldn't be punished for being spread apart. Instead just lose the benefits of being together. The buffs from being together are incentive enough to stick close, but it's absolutely difficult to split and flank an opponent since we become easily trackable.
