What do you think kept objective game types? (Destiny)

I wonder why, but I'm betting the answer is Golden Gun and Ward of Dawn.

Probably. That and everyone has a sniper rifle. And everyone (on a big enough map) has a Sparrow. And so on. Maybe what it really comes down to though is "Epic CTF" (if I have that term correct) hour long stalemates are fun when you've got your TVs in a circle and are playing with 15 friends... but it's very very hard to achieve the same level of both gameplay equality and friendship equality within a matchmade environment. Perhaps this is a call for custom games as much as anything else, but it's hard to fault Bungie for not including gametypes that, historically over a decade, have not been as popular and have not worked nearly as well online as they did in person.

I do agree that something like Salvage should probably be scored based on... yeah, the salvage... instead of the killing. :)
