In 3v3 however, Convergence is exciting. The two main routes to the mid-area and the waterfall heavy ammo spot add a bit of excitement to Trials, with the cliffside favoring snipers and the waterfall side favorite close and mid-range gameplay. That battle for control in mid is always a thrilling experience with fewer players aro

Become familiar with how weapons work now. Bungie made it a big deal that the weapon system would be changing drastically and it has. While the initial roll of out of these changes was a few weeks ago with update 2.0, Guardians are seeing the full force of these changes now that Forsaken has dropped. Weapons have returned to how things were in Destiny (1) with completely random rolls while certain weapons now find themselves in entirely new slots. The same weapon can drop five times and each time will come with different stats and abilities. This makes for some fun mixing/matching. To make things even easier, if a certain perk works well for one’s play style, putting that perk on the new gun only requires the dismantling of whatever version of the weapon not wanted but getting to keep the perks in modification form that are wanted. Then it’s simple as slapping it on the weapon kept. Forsaken is all about being user friendly and wants Guardians to make the most of their toys. Now that certain weapons find themselves in new slots such as Snipers or Shotguns being in all three slots of Primary, Secondary and Heavy, mixing and matching is highly encouraged. Play around with different load-outs because the possibilities have become greater. I found myself with a Shotgun in my Primary, a Sniper in my Secondary and my trusty Rocket Launcher in my Heavy. It was a blast and while I’ve switched it out since then it was fun playing around seeing how these new combinations favor each other. Pro-tip: Bows. That is all.

No matter if playing a Titan,Hunter or Warlock, each subclass now comes with an additional Attunement within it adding some spectacular new powers. Take the Warlocks Dawnblade which now has Attunement of Grace allowing for a super that slams a flaming sword into the ground creating a super rift that does AoE damage, is twice as large as a regular rift and grants both healing with empowering capabilities at the same time. It’s the ultimate team work class. Get to known the new Attunements because they are more than fun -- they’re worth it. Getting these new Attunements isn’t easy, though, as Guardians will have to collect Visions of Light an item that looks like a glowing blue feather that only drops from powerful enemies. After enough have been collected, a quest will appear guiding the Guardian forward. The entire Attunement doesn’t unlock right away either, Forsaken wants the player to feel like they’ve earned being more powerful. Unlocking all the sub-classes won’t be done in a day and that’s a good thing.

The recurring theme with some of these good maps is that they have roughly three different pressure points that favor different playstyles. With burnout, the closed-off indoor area is fantastic in both 6V6 and 3V3. Holding the two points inside with close-range chaos can be a good strategy for players who might dislike long-range gameplay in the outside part of the a

There's plenty of good gameplay to be had outside of the mid area, too. The outer corridors have a bit more space and can be useful for players wanting to set up flanks or looking to break an enemy's position if they are bunkering down in one spot. Overall, the variety is good here, and the map isn't overly big, which forces players into encounters fas

The Crucible in Destiny 2 is a place that is both hated and loved, depending on who's asked. The ruling meta and the maps in the rotation pool are two of the main aspects that define whether or not players will keep on queuing into the Crucible. Sadly, for a while, PVP received no new maps, until Into the Light's release. Cirrus Plaza, Eventide Labs, and Dissonance are the three new maps players can hop into right now. And while maps have always looked amazing in Destiny 2 , the real question is whether or not gameplay on them is actually worthwh

Players who are not a fan of teamwork will absolutely hate The Corrupted strike. The level on its own is one of the hardest in-game levels players will face anyway but the added need to rely on your teammates makes coordination between teams all the more imperat

When Destiny 2 launched, it was arguably a shell of the original. Sure the story was a little more cinematic, but much of what had made Destiny fun and compelling was now strangely absent. Customizable class builds were gone, replaced by ones pre-made by Bungie New game. Randomly-rolled loot was gone too; now all one had to do was get a gun once and that was it. No more chasing godrolls. Supers were toned-down and put on an excessively long timer; the other abilities were too. There was "more" to do in the hub-worlds too, but it all somehow came-off as even more shallow than the activities available in the original. Throw an over-emphasized Eververse and a merely "okay" raid (with disappointing loot) on top of that and the recipe for a disastrous launch period is complete.
