Crucible Thoughts (Destiny)

I like D2 Crucible much more than I ever did D1 Crucible.

I'm not versed enough in Crucible to really be able to articulate why. I suspect it's because it feels less like bullshit. 6v6 was a chaotic hellscape, especially if the opposing team got on a super roll and grabbed power ammo. Even when I was playing well, I rarely felt like I was making much of a difference--there was just too much going on.

D2, by comparison, feels tight and controlled, and I always feel like I know exactly what is happening, which routes need to be controlled, etc. I've only played a few matches of D2 crucible solo, so that probably has a large part to do with my favorable reaction.

I don't know how true it actually is, since it's been way too long since I've played it, but D2 Crucible feels much more like Halo multiplayer than D1 did. Maybe that's just imagined on my part, but it feels like I remember Halo 2 Slayer feeling, in a lot of ways (just with less grenade spam).
