So the announcement of The House of Wolves not having a raid has undoubtedly pissed alot of people off although they did announce that there will be a raid later this year however, the delayed Raid should be free if you own the HoW DLC and we can wait for it since they are replacing it with something new known as The Arena but I have a question about the Arena, will it be PvP or PvE, as it says on the Bungie News it is "A brand new three-player cooperative multiplayer arena" that description can be confusing to some because the words "Multiplayer" and "Arena" typically make people think PvP, I have seen some people say things like "They are catering to the PvP players more with this DLC because of Arena" but to me it seems more like a possible horde mode style of game type because "cooperative" typically doesn't tie in with PvP sure teamwork is a thing which is likely why people are confused but they are adding Trails of Osiris for PvP and several Crucible maps, while for PvE they have only 3 story missions which doesn't equal up to 3 multiplayer maps at all and if it was PvP it would almost definitely say "Competitive" rather than "cooperative". (If some of what I said makes little sense or seems to be trailing on my apologies I just type what pops into my head and attempt to spell check it after)
EDIT: It is likely that the Raid we were promised that got delayed will need to be paid for separately which is complete BS if it happens because alot of people bought the House of Wolves DLC Exclusively for the Raid and if they don't get it they will be getting straight ROBBED because they did advertise that there would be an exclusive Raid for HoW (http://a.disquscdn.com/get?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.geeky-gadgets.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2015%2F02%2FDestiny-House-of-Wolves1.jpg&key=XD6ur9M-prnYiu5Bblo3_w&w=600&h=320 (Not sure if anything legit)) I personally am not too upset about this but alot of people are.
(They were moved to Combined Arms a game type not around every day) I miss playing First Light and Bastion in Clash and especially Control they were amazing maps me and my friends always had a blast driving vehicles around and getting from one point to another really fast sure the snipers were often plentiful and quite annoying but you rarely ever had to worry about them on the flags unless you were out in the open not being careful at all, the only big map we can go to now is SkyShock which sadly isn't as fun to be on mostly because the vehicles are rarely ever used on that map because unless your a sniper there is almost no reason to go to the Beach area at all, it feels like my scout rifles and sniper rifles are quite useless on small maps I've always been a more CQC player unless I'm on a big map then I actually feel comfortable using longer range weapons, also being a Titan that loves the "Death from above" ability and would constantly use it to close a gap, destroy a vehicle, or actually aim my Super I basically have no reason to use that ability on the small maps sure it can still be very effective but every time I get a good angle or catch a group of enemies off guard I hit an invisible wall and go straight down or I hit my head on the top of the world and can't get high enough to reach my target or get the correct angle, if we could get First Light and Bastion back that would be amazing besides why make these maps if your just gonna throw them in the closet and let them collect dust when they are 2 of 3 big maps in the game seriously it doesn't make any sense,(also maybe make the hit box at the top of a few maps a little higher please?).

That pic wasn't a promotion, it was a datamined leaked pic. Bungie never acknowledged it, so technically they aren't getting ripped off at all
