Checkmate is better and I’m right
I’ve now gone flawless this week twice with the Sturm and Drang combo on a Solar subclass playing at about a 1.8 k/D (my performance dipped after 11pm) in duos and solos.
No stasis freeeze no strand suspend no OHK no shoulder charge no cheese of any flavour just straight up gunplay and movement.
This now qualifies me to state that special ammo abundance and ability spam make the crucible less fun and less competitive. People crutch on the cheese. Checkmate is the future of D2 PvP. the end.

1 ReplyFun is subjective and it doesn’t make it less competitive. The two modes are different sure, you just happen to like one more. You liking it doesn’t make it objectively better.
-
7 RepliesCheckmate is nothing but hand cannons and bows. You want a lack of abilities? Go play Call of Duty. Checkmate is NOT the future of D2 pvp.
-
2 RepliesSure, sure. I guess that's why Bungie had to completely reboot pvp after D2 Y1. But if you enjoy it, cool. I'm all for different modes for different folks, but the future? That's the past, and it's also pretty much every pvp shooter on the market.
-
5 RepliesNo. If I want just guns and a generic shooter, I'll go play Halo or CoD. Destiny sets itself apart via abilities and that makes it genuinely fun.
-
12 RepliesI agree. Check mate is how PvP should be. Some changes i would say are 120 HC and bows should us a slight nerf on damage. They are way to forgiving. they outshine 140s and autos.
-
All the crutch ability spammers already crying massive lol 🤣🤣🤣
-
It’s a garbage!!stupid idiots play like this!!go play cod or cs go kid…
-
8 RepliesYou are nobody. What makes Destiny Destiny is the ability play and special. To me it sounds like call of duty is more up your alley
-
"Cheese" - something I view as requiring "low skill" Everything is "cheese," but it's fair because everyone is free to use what they want. Checkmate artificially limits options by creating an unbalanced Sandbox, both for Exotic armor and weapons. Should Bungie change the way specials and abilities work in PVP? Maybe a little. Should Bungie implement Checkmate rules, with its extremely unbalanced Sandbox? HECK NO. It's especially silly when you consider how balanced the weapon meta is in regular Crucible. More variety is better than less variety.

But what if it’s better…and you’re wrong ….or it’s wrong and you’re better? Hmmmm….
-
Haha you are cringe and I am right 🙄😂

Revolutionary! This should be the standard for D2 pvp moving forward!"

The deathball play style sucks. But the mode is fine.

11 RepliesI don’t PvP much but can someone explain to me why shotguns are such a problem in destiny but not in games like CoD? Is it map design? Abilities? A combination of everything? They’re 1hk in other games but destiny is the only game where everything in PvP seems so problematic

4 RepliesEdited by CrossMod5282: 9/30/2023 11:02:36 PMCheckmate is boring. Class identity is essentially non-existent, it doesn't matter what class or subclass you use. Why grind for a special weapon, you'll barely get to use it. New supers in the next DLC, who cares... you won't get to use it. Keep Checkmate out of the regular D2 PvP sandbox.

Edited by nonchalantone: 10/2/2023 12:38:48 PM"and I'm right"..... Once I saw that in the title, I figured the rest of your post would sound the way it read. I was right. It's also funny how you qualified yourself to make a statement 😂😂. Like your opinion alone is the one that will keep Checkmate around!
-
I don't agree with how you arrived at your conclusion, but you're right lmao.
-
Check hand cannon mate...
-
3 RepliesSpecial ammo isn't as much a problem, abilities on the other hand get frustrating. Imo they would need to reduce ability potency and straight up remove Bubble/Well because these supers promote boring matches and unfun, passive Rounds
-
3 RepliesI don’t think it should be the whole Crucible, but a permanent playlist dedicated to gunplay would be great.
-
Good, less ability and special weapon spam is what this game needed. It needs to become more like Halo and less like CoD in that regard. Work for the power.
-
1 ReplyThe number of up votes say otherwise

Honestly its a brilliant game mode but for me I’m not going to get too attached to it, I’m waiting for Sod’s Law to happen it always does sooner or later. Be it bungie does something, the game breaks server/ error codes or glitches or when enough noise get heard from this community when the honeymoon period is over. It always ends up the same Sod’s Law comes out on top all the time.

It’s extremely fun, my hope is they just add it as a permanent additional playlist that way it makes everyone happy. Love seeing people squirm over a large portion of the community loving the playlist.

1 ReplyI personally like throwing tripmines and coldsnaps at people, in addition to using guns.
