Perhaps you could answer a question for me; I've asked it repeatedly and typically get crickets, so here goes. Why does there seem to be such a prominent expectation with PvP mains to have 1v1 "duels" in a team activity, specifically one that automatically places you in a team if you aren't already in one? Edit: Spelling.

[quote]First off I like the baseline idea for this mode. It is significantly better most of the time than regular game modes. I have some things that I really like and dislike. I love that there is actually a special ammo economy now. I think it could be even more strict but thats not a huge issue. I like that abilities are on a greater cool down it makes the guns really shine in duels when you can find those. The focus on hand cannons is pretty obvious and that’s what a large group of the community wants so that’s a win too. This game mode is absolutely terrible to get thrown into late. I would rather wait 5 more minutes for a match than get thrown into an in progress match where I can’t have special or super and every one else has both. I dislike that with 6 players it feels like there are very few opportunities for duels as on most maps every peak is being covered sometimes people are spawning meters from you and jumping in on fights. This game mode emphasizes team play which is cool but getting into a match as a solo with a 4 stack on the other team and all solos on yours doesn’t work very well. (as i was writing this it happened AGAIN for the 3rd time tonight) I played and watched a lot of the game mode and I was surprised by how many abilities were still present I wish that would be toned down even more. I also found that weapon range in pvp is a huge issue. There is such a large advantage to having range on a weapon when the ttks are so much closer. I wish weapons with more range would be even more clunky and difficult to maneuver close range. Honestly using low range anything in this game is terrible because range is one of the only stats you can’t overcome with skill. Everything else is not crucial in a gunfight as you don’t have to have stability because you can overcome that reload speed is nice but not crucial in most duels. Spawns are terrible as always. Movement in this game has surpassed the systems y’all have in place. Going back to 4 man pvp would be better given the movement in the game right now. Also the radar needs a rework I believe. I am running into the situation where icarus dash and grapple and titans with shoulder charge are able to get from outside my radar to close enough with an smg to melt me in less than a second. I would love to see a mini map that gives away positions when you use abilities. Heavy spawns are way too frequent. I don’t think heavy should even be in most pvp but at least I shouldn’t be running into it 25% of my engagements in a match because I like to play a different p ice of the map or I am playing objective. This is a big rant because I have loved this games pvp since I played in D1 back in 2016. Recently I can’t play consecutive matches without wanting to uninstall the whole game and be done with it (which has actually happened a couple times haha). If y’all developers see this I want to say thanks for working hard.[/quote] Bump. Agree with all of it except your praise of the boring HC meta. Bungie should need them into oblivion.
