Let me start out by saying, no I'm not super bad at the game, in fact i consider myself pretty decent. But some of the -blam!-ING BULLSHIT in the crucible is really starting to annoy me. I love this game I truly do, but this game does not love me, not anymore I'm near my wits end.
First and foremost
Exotic Hand Cannons- Probably the biggest bullshit right now, starting with the Thorn. Seriously Bungie? A two shot head shot? Who in the -blam!- thought that would be a good idea, oh and give it the range of a Scout Rifle. And if you want to counter play it you can either cripple yourself with Red Death, or use TLW. And the TLW this mother -blam!-er has been glitched since LAUNCH. Mother -blam!-ing LAUNCH. I got my Last Word about a month in and the fact that the damage modifier while scoped in hasn't been addressed almost A YEAR LATER is appalling. Now let me make this clear for Bungie since they apparently cant read DONT TOUCH THE LEGENDARIES, I say this because what they will hear is this " Seems the player base wants handcannons nerfed...lets just half the damage across all hand cannons" -and then they high five or something. I can hear it now.."STFU noob Ex0ticZ r supp0se to b3 0P lel l2p". Sure they are supposed to be good, but they aren't supposed to be THE ONLY TWO COMPETITIVE OPTIONS.
Blink- The two second cool down does literally dick all, fix this cancer.
Final Round on Sniper Rifles- -blam!-ing for real? The point of a sniper rifle is to land precision head shot kills, perks like this literally remove any form of skill from the game.
Fire-bolt Grenades w/ Burn DoT: The fact this grenade can land in a separate zip code and nearly one shot me from a separate stratosphere is absolutely revolting.
Shot Package- Gives Shotguns such as Matador 64 and Party Crasher/ Felwinters Sniper such ludicrous range that no other shot guns have a snowballs chance in hell of competing. EVEN THE MOTHER -blam!-ING EXOTIC UNIVERSAL REMOTE. Tell me what the -blam!- the point of it taking up an exotic slot is if it sucks more male genitalia than Riley Reid?
Infinite Super Glitch- Titans + Alpha Lupi + Bubble + Gunslingers = Bumhole destruction never before seen on this planet before. Its been around for awhile yet NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN ON IT.
The Netcoding- You would think a game that raked in the profits of some countries GDP would be able to afford servers capable of keeping up with the technology of 1998 but apparently not. Not in 2015 I guess. The fact that I have 120 down, 10 ping, and roughly 20 upload on any given day, yet still can point blank shotgun someone in the face only for it to maybe bring them to half then IMMEDIATELY get my face blown off down the god damn block makes me want to stick my penis through a meat grinder. ( Surely that would now give me more enjoyment and more pleasure than the present crucible experience). And since the last "server maintenance" Which one can only assume is some intern blowing canned air on the back of hard drives, I have probably single handedly seen more one bar lobbies than views on Kim Kardashians sex tape. ./cry
Matchmaking- My team lemmings, enemy team highly trained South Korean E-sports team. Their team both heavies, my team...both grenade suicides. For real?
Grenades and Horseshoes- Possibly one of the noobiest perks in the game, literally no counterplay. If there is PLEASE LET ME KNOW. If there is any counter play to proximity rocket explosions tell me. When the game launched it wasnt that prevalent but holy hell. To even consider using HMG ammo now over rockets requires you to camp until the cluster-blam!- of kill trades is over with.
Auto Rifles are pea-shooters- Kicked them in the nuts, and now they are irrelevant buffing them alone may even counterbalance the complete prevalence of exotic hand cannons. But as it stands now I would rather be one of the 14 people sexually assaulted annually by Dolphins than self-harm myself struggling to use guns such as The Necrochasm in PvP; because Jesus gallivanting Christ are some Autos now complete turds.
The list goes on, the point is Bungie has pulled an infinity ward. For those of you that played Mw2 and remember one man army noob tubes. Pretty much and easy win and the cheesiest tactic around ( hence the name) it only required a simple hot fix yet it never got done. They were too busy figuring out ways to make money as opposed to fixing the game. Also a game published by Activision.
I used to love Bungie. I was like a kid at night whom would say " Daddy I love you this much!" To which Bungie would generously reply with " I love you too son, here have a double xp weeked!"
However, now Bungie is the equivalent to a step dad named Darcy. I want to love him, but hes just not my dad. " I love you this much"
- "Yeah whatever kid..*cracks another beer*"
In the mean time I will just wait for my cry emote...
Rant over...
Edit: Holy -blam!-ity -blam!-, I did not believe I would get this many replies. Keep the feedback coming Guardians!

1 RispondiModificato da Ghost J34: 7/16/2015 8:19:53 AM1. Blame Bungie's piss-poor map design and rotation. The genius who thought it was a good idea to add small maps to the rotation while simultaneously taking out the big ones needs to be fired and blacklisted from the industry. 2. The overuse of HCs and Shotguns can be attributed to point 1. 3. If you take away shot package people will just go back to using fusion rifles, which are just long-range shotguns. Fix the map design and rotation, and the problem with shotguns will work itself out. 4. There will always be some gun/gun class that will be considered better than the rest; once they nerf HCs, which is probably a foregone conclusion at this point, everyone will just start using Red Death or Auto Rifles/Mythoclast if they get rebuffed. 5. Rocket launchers have been a problem since this game released, and I used to rail against them all the time. At this point it's time to get over it and accept it; if you're smart, you'll know to stay out of the fray for the first minute or so once the heavy is taken. Choose areas wisely and you can outplay other rocket launcher users, especially if you have blink. 6. Blink is never going to be removed, so Bungie really just needs to give Titans a blink. It legitimately makes no sense balance-wise for only two of the three classes to have access to a blink. 7. The match-making in this game, or lack thereof, is honestly pathetic. It's gotten to the point where I have to check the roster before every game to see if there's a premade, and to see how big that premade is if there is one. At this point, 90% of the games I get put into have at least one 3+ man premade in it, and I'm almost always on the other side with a team filled with randoms. If the other team has a 3+ man premade in it, I go to orbit as soon as I spawn into the game, as it's just not worth the frustration. Why Bungie doesn't make the slightest effort to pit premades against premades is beyond me. 8. Final round in snipers is ridiculous, but I honestly don't encounter it that often. With that said, it really needs to be removed from Sniper Rifles in general, or at least not work in PvP.

1 RispondiModificato da Propagandistic: 7/17/2015 2:13:37 AMOmfg I was so right they touched all hand cannons omg fuuuck. however, the changes they got for everything else seem not so bad. Nice to see Hardlight get some love. 7.5/10
-
1 RispondiI only play when IB comes around
-
3 RisposteI whole heartedly agree on everything you said but you did miss one fundamental flaw that I can't fathom.... Why the -blam!- is it only 6v6???? This is next gen for -blam!- sake, we where playing more than 6v6 on halo 2 where we not?
-
laughed at most of your statements, even if I disagreed with some of them, but dissing even one feature of MW2? Nah bro.. Not cool.
-
4 RisposteGo to combined arms. Theres not a Thorn in sight.
-
Truthfully none of this bothers me enough to even notice. Except Thorn which needs some remediation. But I suppose I've been luckier than some, I've never had bad lag and the like. I'll keep on with Crucible for certain.
-
Im fine with everything up there being in pvp except for the server comment and auto rifle comment. Auto rifles definitely need to be fixed and I totally agree on the fact that the servers need fixed.
-
I don't really like crucible, but I play it mostly because I want the New Monarchy weapons/armor
-
I love destiny pvp
-
Slowly? I lost hope during the first week of it never being fit not to give bs everything.
-
Lol loved reading it. Quite humorous and I do agree with pretty much all of what u said. My biggest angst comes from the lack of dedicated servers. The rest I could live with. The lag and inconsistency is unacceptable in a $500m game u would think...
-
2 RisposteThe maps are so close quarters that it encourages hand cannon and shotgun play all the time. Combined Arms is probably the only time you'll see a majority of scout rifles, pulse rifles and snipers. The maps also are very oddly designed compared to cod and classic halo maps like Blood gulch or Damnation which encouraged all weapon styles.
-
Loved this.
-
Good read your a funny man. Yeah they need to hurry up with a fix but I fear it will not be before TTK. They should definitely individualise the nerfs because using any of the legendary HC's is hard work. I don't fink just buffing auto's would bring balance as we need a slower time to kill (cod was never my cup of tea, always been a halo/battlefield guy). So yeah buff auto's but then suros will need a slight nerf, nerf exotic HC's a touch and slight buff to fusions to make them relevant again. Other than that I still enjoy crucible and since I refuse to buy TTK, the near future of my destiny experience will be crucible and running noobs through the existing raids.

Me and a lot of my closer friends have already given up on PVP sometime after the PVP changing and humorously moronic 1.1.1 patch...for the most part. We slowly but surely got to the point where we don't even think about playing PVP. Only time a lot of us do PVP these days is for Iron Banner. A lot of us are waiting for the rebalancing patch.
-
I agree with literally everything you said. And at least mw2 was fun in that you could use almost every gun and have success. In this retarded game you have to use the bitch guns in order to do well. And before anyone says something yes I have the bitch guns equipped because I have no other choice. The only game mode I can handle without breaking my controller is combined arms
-
your euphemisms make you seem like a likeable person, probably a cool person to chill with (avoiding political topics).
-
Agreed. Very interested to see the next patch notes. The lack of change in the previous months means big changes are coming. Also, your analogies are hilarious, and almost every point you made, I was laughing XD
