[quote]I really must be missing something, or someone's getting paid too much[/quote] Gambit maps are laid out differently than Crucible maps, and promote a different kind of combat. Crucible maps are very closed off, have very short sight lines, and tend to funnel players into close-to-mid-range combat (hand cannon and shotty range). Maps that are laid out in ways that don't do this, tend to be very unpopular. Most of the maps that were removed from the game did that. Which is why I don't buy Bungie's line about their coding being incompatible. They were removed so that they could be redesigned....not recoded. Gambit maps OTOH are very OPEN. Each one tends to have a open circular area in the middle (the bank), then a mid-ring with cover, then an outer ring with cover. This means that its possible for skilled invaders to move from one end of the map to the other, without leaving cover for any length of time.....but also to attack from one end of the arena to the other with snipers, rockets, LMGs, LFRs etc due to the very long sightlines. While at the same time you have no really effective flanking routes. Going around the "hub" when dealing with a single invader is one thing. Trying to traverse that open layout when you have 3 or 4 people posting up at the back of one side of the map with scouts and snipers....and blowing the head off of anyone who raises their head would get nightmarish pretty quick. As most Gambit maps would be very easy to lock down, and then spawn trap an opposing team with the right loadouts and a minimum of coordination. The spawn camping of both invaders, and downed defenders during an invasion is still a problem in Gambit.

They still use pvp maps from yr 1. Lol.

[quote]I really must be missing something[/quote] Yep. Crucible went free to play two years ago.

They would not work well for Crucible unfortunately. Gambit maps are way too open and are just as small, if not smaller, than many of the maps we have already.

I...uh...yeah. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Would give some longer range weapons a chance to shine as well. Throw them in a lab Bungie, see how it works. It would need more than just a copy and past though. Update spawns and block off the Gambit spawn area (seems like a campers dream in there) to start.

An interesting idea, community would just complain it isn’t new content but some might play interestingly

Thank you for your amazing input. Keep it going.

You got a solid point my dude

Amen to that

Bump

If that were true, they wouldn’t of been able to port D1 locations. Which they did. The whole point of the dcv was to resume D1 and unused assets. They just don’t care about pvp that much. The main game takes up all their resources. Happens when you try to reinvent the wheel multiple times.

You see scouts and snipers in gambit invasions…. All I ever see (or don’t see) is the dude with EOT pointing and licking and wiping us all out

Some are too small for how open they are like titan. Some are just too open and too large. Both would get a ton of flak unfortunately

I could see some PvP maps being used as PvE activities (been done before). For Gambit? Ehhh idk

The more maps the better, especially add some versatility. I'd like to see some maps where using shotguns & fusions are a disadvantage.
