Tell me why First Light and Bastion CAN'T be added back to regular playlists right now.
Go on Bungie. I would actually [b]really[/b] like to know why these maps cannot be added back in or why you [b]will not[/b] add them back in [i]right[/i] now. Why? Explain to me how hard it is if it is at all. If I remember correctly they were pretty much removed on a whim. So why can't they be added back in just as fast? You say you're "for the players", so prove it. Add them back to regular playlists like most people want. If you won't, at least give me a real reason as to why not. Preferably an answer that isn't silence.
Thanks,
Concerned customer.
Edit1:
It just occurred to me that around the same time that First Light and Bastion were removed from regular playlists, Asylum and The Anomaly were [b]added[/b] into the playlists. Is this a coincidence or is Destiny technically incapable of rotating more than 8-9 maps in a playlist at once? Thoughts Bungie?
Edit2:
I hold by re-adding them (and of course getting a response from Bungie as to why not). Despite there being people who "hated" it, there are still a large number that want it back. If you people really hate it that much, then they should add it back but with a smaller chance of being picked. If I played First Light every single game I would despise it. However, I would like the option of a large open, sniping map in my regular rotation ever now and then.
[b]And one more thing: still waiting on that response Bungie.[/b]
Edit3: Loads of responses, none are Bungie. It's an easy enough to answer question guys. Why can't or why won't you add these maps back in? Is it because you don't like the long, sniper games they cause? Why limit these maps to a 2 map rotation? I would like to play these maps again, but I don't want to have to exclusively play them and nothing else. Same thing with the dlc maps that I never played. Didn't enjoy playing the same 3 maps over and over even if they were new.
Back to the point; a small 1 sentence answer will suffice. Anything more would be great. Guardian out.
Edit4:
Deej. Love your work. I look forward to your updates every week (even the smaller ones). Just wondering if you could relay this question to the crucible designers. I'd still really like to know why these maps were removed and why they can't or won't be put back into regular rotations despite popular demand and well... no real decent reason (at least from my point of view. Enlighten me if I'm wrong) as to why they were removed in the first place.
Thanks Deej, hope you can shed some light on this.

Edited by StudMuffin124: 7/12/2015 7:57:34 PMI really wish they would bring these maps back. It's a shame since crucible is now mostly cqc

I miss those maps where people couldn't just use a shotgun the whole game like they do on Anomaly.
-
They can. But they suck, so thankfully they've been taken out.
-
I agree. I miss these maps. I was confused when they just vanished one day.
-
Yeah they were easily my two favourite maps not just because of the vehicles but it's nice to change up from the shotgun infested maps.
-
Nien! You vill play anomaly and nothing but! SHOTGUNS FOR ALL!
-
Asylum and anomaly were added well after first light was removed.
-

Edited by Scary_Penguin: 5/12/2015 2:35:39 PMPlease bring back first light. Favorite map by far. Reminded me of the good Halo maps Playing in bastion in the beginning was ridiculous. You would play the map 4 or 5 times In a row. Really would love to see destiny add a vote for map option
-
Sky shock, first light and bastion are by far my favourite, brings back memories of BTB
-
They're awful and don't really fit in with how Destiny was designed. That said, the Anomaly and Asylum are too small for 6v6.
-
Add them back. Combined arms is stupid
-
First light was my first unbroken match. Favorite map over all. Skyshock is a close second
-
3 RepliesEdited by CDV3: 5/12/2015 2:48:22 AMI would gladly give up the anomaly and the asylum for bastion and first light.
-
Love those maps on combined arms. Would love to see them in control or something

2 RepliesThe only reason not to add them back is that too many people complained about them. That is, the same reason they were removed. I never had any issues myself. But then, I don't play rumble. All the maps should be available in all the modes, as far as I am concerned. I have little heart for the folks that run around and charge in blindly, who prefer the smaller maps so they have less running around to do. In a separate thread, I read some damn fool whine about how the big maps are so hard that the timers run out. Which told me just how bad everyone involved was at the game.
-
5 RepliesThey're not as competitive as other normal maps in the regular playlists They used to be in there, but they were a big mess Nooby vehicles & turrets, massive noobtube spamming, bad zone & heavy placement, and with the addition of less special ammo it makes dealing with stupid vehicles an ammo wasting chore. The vehicles remove the challenge of direct engagements from player vs player(s) and make them one sided. They're a noobs playland The sniper use is fun, but not anywhere as challenging to use one in those maps
-
4 RepliesI would rather vs a team of shot guns spammers than a game that doesn't even reach it's cap cause everyone is sitting in the back
-
Anomaly and Asylum are both my favorite maps because their small and gets you fast paced games. I rarely finish a game in time on bastion or first light because it takes too long to find people. Same with Halo Reach playing on the map Hemorrhage, it takes way too long. So basically I like games that last 5 mins and not 12.
-
I can't even remember bastion but I miss first light.
-
2 RepliesI want the windows reopened on blind watch by point c. Its like people forgot that shit too.
-
3 RepliesBecause they're slow maps. The matches on them hardly reach the cap number of points. The objectives are terribly placed on bastion. And last but not least, vehicle combat in this game is just terrible. I may not be a bungie employee, but if you've played on these maps, you know they're slow paced and not fun.
-
I'd be ok with them now, given the upcoming changes to the reward system that rewards completing consecutive matches. The problem before was to many people would just bail when they saw the map. I was on the wrong side of several 6 on 1 matches because I was to stubborn to leave and forfeit .
-
I agree. They should never have been removed in the first place
-
I enjoyed these maps and would like them back in regular rotation.

1 ReplyDo you not remember playing the damn maps! You almost never got to 20000! Also the damn B flag was almost impossible to take for the losing team! Believe me I know! I held the damn flag down all game. I crouch on the bloody ledge and have heavy spawn under my ass! I had heavy all game after the first spawn. Even then I barely got more than 15 kills! We run the time limit first almost every time. Think before you speak...
