I played quite a few matches to give this new match type a fair chance. It was absolute zero fun. Too crowded with 12 players, and the scorch cannon is a less than ideal weapon. I definitely will not be playing Scorch during the upcoming year.

[quote]If you have feedback on our latest experiment mode in Crucible Labs, please leave it here. The mode we are testing is Lockdown, and it will be available until the next weekly reset. Senior Designer Andrew Welden explained how it works in this weeks TWAB. [quote] Lockdown is a new 4v4 round-based Competitive mode that, like Control, is about capturing and holding zones. Unlike Control, your only score comes from playing the objective. Those of you from the Taken King/Rise of Iron era know this mode’s predecessor, the Control variant “Zone Control.” Here’s how it plays out: Both teams start Lockdown with a “Progress” percentage of 0% displayed under the scoreboard. Once a team holds two zones, progress will begin ticking up for that team at a rate of 1% per second. There is no round timer—the first team to reach 100% will win the round, and the first to win three rounds will win the match. That’s not all, though—if a team can successfully capture all three zones, they will instantly win the round, regardless of each team’s progress state. A well-coordinated push from your opponents will always be dangerous, which means you need to stay focused on your objective. However, winning a round that way is not necessarily as simple as it might seem. To earn capture progress or win on the triple cap, you must hold uncontested zones. If a team holds two zones, you can fully halt their progress by contesting one or more zones (you’ll see “PROGRESS HALTED” display under the scoreboard to let you know this is happening). They won’t start earning score again until they clear you and your progress off the point(s). The same applies when going for the triple cap lockdown—the instant win only applies if all three zones are completely clear. We’ve seen some really exciting matches play out from this ruleset internally, and we hope you have similar experiences out in the wild![/quote] [quote][b]• What did you think about this mode? • Was anything confusing? • Did anything seem missing? • Was there a map it played better/worse on? • Were there spawning issues? • Were the rounds too short/too long? • Was there a weapon or other sandbox combination that affected the game in a negative way? [/b] [/quote][/quote] Wait..... I played the labs for 5 games and was surprisingly bored after shooting scorch cannons everywhere and anywhere lol. I will say this, the scorch cannon should definitely feature more SCORCHING and less rpg style... I found for the first time how useless this thing is compared to relic weapons, when used on other players direct hits are lucky shots, where kills are higher probability trick shooting on the ground while guardians are landing or shooting the walls around them. IF SCORCH CANNON actually scorched the ground like sun spots from titans and warlocks after detonating, Scorch Cannon would be worth the hassle of racing other guardians for it especially with Gambit coming so soon.

[quote]• What did you think about this mode?[/quote] Liked it [quote]• Was anything confusing?[/quote] No, just fun [quote]• Did anything seem missing?[/quote] Yes, teams or a bigger objective, or buffs, and tracking on the rockets. Maybe 5 lives and your out. [quote]• Was there a map it played better/worse on? [/quote] That's another thing, maps were too small. [quote]• Were there spawning issues?[/quote] Small maps, so yes. [quote]• Were the rounds too short/too long?[/quote] Too long. [quote]• Was there a weapon or other sandbox combination that affected the game in a negative way? [/quote] N/A

NEW IDEA! Gun game for crucible labs, IE. everyone starts off with the same gun and with each kill you get a new weapon and continue progressing by killing players, with each kill your gun you acquire is more powerful but the playing field is even as the other players have the same opportunity. Would be a really fun game type and a great way for players to play with guns they have not tried or have not aquired!

I -blam!-in loved Scorched. It’s the kinda dumb fun from something like Halo that I just love. As for criticism, maybe make the matches longer?

I was so very excited upon learning of this mode... then I played it. Right of the bat, I was disheartened that the Warlock's Dash was unusable; frustrating, but understandable. After firing my first shot I realized this was not the game type I'd hoped for. The excessively sluggish shells slowly crawl out of the barrel, gently floating to the targeted location. The explosion radius is also horribly underwhelming. The beautiful display of Solar detonation is vastly greater than the true damaging area. For me personally, this gametype [i]needs[/i] two things: 1) Increased projectile speed. Make the Scorch Cannon the [i][b][u]actual[/u][/b][/i] SCORCH CANNON. Not a flare gun. 2) Increased blast radius. I'm not saying it should one-shot everything within 20 meters. However, it should damage - even slightly- those within the glorious explosion display. And although not absolutely necessary, but still worthwhile to note: Don't Disable Class Perks And Abilities... seriously. Just don't please. Superb thought. Mediocre execution. So much excitement, so little enjoyment.

The only feedback you need... The crucible is a cancer that is killing an otherwise decent game.

What I can say about the gamemode after my first Match: Hunters have waaay to much advantage because of their jumps Titans and Warlocks are to slow. 6er rumble is good. The gamemode could be fun if the classes would have fair movement speed or the same at all in that Mode.

When I was reading about the new mode before release, I thought it was going to be really fun, but in practice, it ends up more frustrating than fun. The mode just feels a lot less fast-paced and hectic than I was expecting, partly due to the time to get back to the action off spawn and the projectile speed just feeling sluggish.

So. Much. Fun. But suggestions: - Immediate or under 3 second respawns - Bugs with respawns cause players to wait up to 15 seconds before regenerating into a match - greater range of fire for cannons (angling upwards, not necessarily related to distance range) - Personally interested to see this mode without radar...
