Question for the coder types regarding custom games. (Destiny)

So if you're super interested in all this coding stuff, I'm curious what you might think the issue would be with custom matchmaking for crucible: specifically, if it's more a coding issue or a philosophy issue. Could it be implemented easily? Is it more likely that Bungie doesn't want custom matchmaking? Talk amongst yourselves.

It's entirely possible that game mechanics like supers and heavy ammo drops completely break any gametype that is not slayer. Notice how every single game type in destiny is basically slayer. Even salvage nets you points when you kill, and you can very well win without taking a single relic as they don't give you that many points.

I'm sure there are team and skill compositions that would just wreck CTF for example.
