  • Exotics don’t be long in competitive play what so ever. If bungie had face the facts in the first place people would not be having this many problems with this trash game mode to start with

    No. It isn't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2rBF3DP1lc Even though I've been saying most of these same things on this forum for WEEKS, this video from Datto should be required viewing for any new Gambit player. This is literally Gambit game sense and strategy 101. People NOT knowing (or respecting) these basic strategic points are a bigger issue and frustration that Sleeper could EVER be. Especially his first point about collecting and banking motes. YOU CAN'T WIN THE GAME IF YOU DON'T BANK MOTES AND CALL OUT YOUR PRIMEVAL!!!! It drives me NUTS playing with blueberries who just run around blindly trying to gather up 15 motes and pay absolutely no attention to whats going on around them. Blind to the fact that the invasion portal opens up in response to how many motes you bank. So unless you are working with a coordinated team where only TWO people are picking up motes, and you plan to drop two ogres simultaneously and invade? THE dumbest THING you can do is try to run around trying to gather up 15 motes at the start of the game. What INEVITABLY happens is the other---better---team deposits their motes first.....drops two large or several smaller blockes in the process. Then they invade....and you are left with no where to go...and proceed to drop a CATASTROPHE on your team by dying with 14 or 15 motes on you. Because it puts you so far behind that----unless you have someone who is really good at PVP---and can keep going back and harassing the other team to slow them down? You never catch up. I thought I was going to have a stroke last night playing with a guy who died with over 40+ motes on him over the course of the match. That kind of play can single-handedly cost your team a loss. Also watch the B-roll footage in the back ground. Datto is showing VERY skilled use of "advancing into cover" as an Invader (he only exposes himself on a direct sightline when he's ready to make his own attack....thus denying a Sleeper user charge up time). He makes "okay" use of cover on defense. The problem is that he wants to "bait" Sleeper users. That not a smart strategy. Because---as you saw in the video----the in-game LAG will result in you getting "shot through walls" because the game can't accurately detect when you got back under cover. The better approach is to STYMIE the Sleeper invader while someone else FLANKS him. Aslo BOWS ARE a good Gambit weapon in the right hands. FOR killing high hit point mobs....AND for HARRASING invaders. Have a range that allows them to reach out and flinch the hell out of people who want to use Sleeper or Snipers from range. Plus you can play it like a hand cannon. Duck behind cover....draw. Pop out.....let fly....then duck back. You can frustrate a sniper almost indefinitely doing this....and the only counter from a Sleeper user is to pre-charge......and only a handful of players are good at using a fusion rifle that way. Adapt. Don't complain.

    • No, please don't Bungie. Don't bow to every whim of every player. The Sleeper is perfect.

    • Yes... let me dominate the field with my Thousand Voices... Sleeper only lets you kill 1 person at a time, with the thousand voices I can wipe your entire team with one shot. Seriously dirty, think the only reason there aren't as many people complaining about it is because of how rare it is.

    • So when sleeper finally becomes useful for something it needs a nerf. Interesting, well I guess we are going back to the D1 Cycle then. btw its not broken, very easy to counter.
