I feel like every other control match lands on Blind Watch now. The way these new spawns promote camping (and let's not mention everyone got Plan C this weekend, the corner camper's wet dream) and the way clueless teammates will just run repeatedly into door from A and the door in the middle is just painful.

I really, really hope the next patch does something to adjust these spawns again. Twilight Gap could really use some love too.

p.s. does First Light even exist in the map rotation anymore?

p.p.s. who's idea was it to launch the a game in 2014 without a map vote feature and in what possible scenario is that a good idea?

From October 1.0.2 Patch Notes:

Crucible

Reduced time limit on Bastion and First Light in Control and Clash from 15 to 12 minutes, bringing them in line with non-vehicle maps in those playlists
Lowered weighting on Bastion and First Light in Control and Clash so they appear less often in those playlists

They are very rare now.

No map vote is the best way to do it. I never get mad at idiot players choosing the worst map and game type anymore. Now I just shrug as Destiny's random number generator sometimes randomly picks the same map in a few times in a row. If you disagree, just remember that you were outvoted. Dwell on that! :p

Didn't notice that. Dumb decision. Makes the map pool feel even more limited than it already is.

I wonder if it's an effort to make the lackluster Combined Arms playlist feel less identical to control/clash?...

Could be. I did some combined arms yesterday to play on the big maps...

Or at least would be the moment a team picks Blind Watch every time because they know how to play it in its current form :P

But no seriously map voting is not inherently good. Don't miss it at all.

Wouldn't that be easily countered by taking the map that was last played on out of the vote for the next game?...

the way clueless teammates will just run repeatedly into door from A and the door in the middle is just painful.

Believe or not, some random and I held that doorway with an alpha spawn, never capped C once, and wrecked shop. We ended winning by like 3k and both had a +3 k/d. It can be done!

Oh it definitely can be done, but it's MUCH harder from A than from C.

It only sucks if you go in by yourself with randoms.

If you go in with a full team, the majority of the time you have majority control over what gets played.

A big reason I think Destiny MP sucks is because you play the same 2 maps with the same 2 modes over and over again.

Variety in Destiny MP is a facade.

And it feels like holding a doorway DOES decide the match if the team that's not holding it features clueless players who run into said door repeatedly feeding points to the other team

Variety in Destiny MP is a facade.

This is true, and it's the biggest thing that needs fixed in DLC and / or sequels.

More maps. More game modes like CTF, Oddball, KoTH, etc. Destiny 2 should have AT LEAST twice as many maps at launch, and all the gametypes I mentioned.

The fact that there are 2 maps that only show up in skirmish and salvage only compounds this problem.

I kind of struggle to grasp the absence of FPS staple gametypes like Capture the Flag or KotH.

I struggle to grasp the lack of quality narrative, and a painful investment system. But then I remember one word: activison.

Activision might be an anti-consumer supervillain society helmed by Satan but even their annual CoD rollouts have more story and character development, and less grindy investment systems.

And then everyone's whimpering and salivating over Iron Banner, and it's just Control.

So, territory based slayer, slayer, slayer, and also slayer.

Yep.

Well, Team Slayer has always been my favorite game type. I do wonder if they play tested things like CTF and found they kinda suck when everyone has access to a sniper rifle or shotgun at all times?
