Territories used to work fine in 4v4 halo. Even though it was unpopular in mm.

Meanwhile, patrol areas in destiny continue to be flawed. If we insist on having the patrol missions dished out from the green lights, there can't be sections where there's no to collect.

The map layout continues to sit uneasily as well between linear spokes that require a backtrack, aka, the bits from story missions they leave open, and a basic loop, with very little in clever shortcuts.

Plaguelands is bad for it.

At least tip your hat to dark souls you fuckers. (dreadnought was heading this way.)

Would love them to find a narrative device that gives a good excuse to make the open part a big circle with the story missions all leading off it towards the middle with a link section in the middle.

Ok, so I know all the issues with power that secondaries had, but is starting with no secondary ammo really the solution? That seems to me to be conceding a major flaw in balance.

Edit: slight retraction. I notice you do spawn with secondary ammo. If you die you need to find it.

Had a few wins. Scary how quickly I'm back to middle of the pack and useful.

Were there rise of iron mp maps? Haven't come across anything new yet.

Played skyline. Pretty sure I played something else new on Mars. Mentioned timekeeper.

What's the meta in pvp like these days. Am I thorning it up or can I rock a scout?

*cough*

Thorn is dead (RIP), but basically it's still Handcannons. Specifically the Palindrome (Crucible vendor gun) with all the range perks you can muster.

As you say, they've basically ditched Secondaries for the final update. It does mean that there's a lot more Icebreakers out there (although not that many Invectives from what I can tell). 

It's reasonable at the moment. A shadow of it's former self, but far from the worst version there's been. 

Maps wise, some of those Rise maps are pretty good, but they're not coming up all that often.

Playlists are on a weekly rotation. So for this week for example, Control is there but Clash isn't. That'll swap around next week. I think you're talking about Salvage. If it's not an option at the moment it will be on Tuesday.

Rift. That's what I was thinking of.

I think they've gone too far the other way with Specials. They've practically disappeared from play.

The weapon slots for D2 sound fantastic.

Heavy Primary focus with plenty of options. Specials to feel special again.

Can't wait.

Hopefully the game is balanced in pve to account for the big decrease in damage the new weapon system will lead to. Damage numbers are down across the board, and not being able to have a sniper plus a rocket launcher/lmg will reduce dps even further. No Weapons of Light either.

I just hope it's not Bungie's way of making pve in D2 more grindy

Face, there's yet another god-roll Palindrome this week if you've got the marks.

Best primary in the game currently.

Face, Red Death was considered to be one of the worst exotics in the game a while back, there are so many legendary weapons that just outclass it. If you're doing well with it, you might find yourself beasting if you use one of the many pulses that are much better...

Noted. Got some others that I want to try too. Largely on red death because everything is new and I haven't unlocked perks.

Eventually, the p2p is gonna annoy me, but damn they got a lot right. The maps are generally great too. Going almost entirely symmetrical helps.

Gotta love random drops giving me all the weapons you guys are mentioning. Parthian with radar in scope is tasty.

Yuuuuuuuup.

Maybe, just maybe, the dlc will be included in the released game...

Patrols better have tiers.

I'm a say no on the 2 tap with parthian, but damn, if you are accurate and/or team shooting and/or other damage,its brutal.

Some of these maps are really not great, or at least take ages to figure out outside of control.

Had a heck of a game on last exit. Ended up being cool, but that map is hella confusing. Being symmetrical, but In a triangle makes for an interesting rift game, but jesus it took a while to know what was happening.
