So, today I tried out Crimson Doubles, I'm a pretty decent player along with my teammate so we won our first 10 or 11 games. Sounds good, right? Well, we realized we were only really winning because we had special and ourn opponents didn't, why? Because we were using Icebreaker, we then unequipped and did exceedingly worse. I think this is kind of dumb, and I will continue to use Icebreaker, but I hope Bungie bans it, since it's a huge crutch. Same goes for Invective. This is just my opinion, so feel free to state yours as well.
Edit: Universal Remote too. And maybe NLB.
-
Eh. Don't ban it. Just make it so that if you switch weapons, regardless of whether your alive or dead or in a loading screen, you lose all your ammo. That way if people want to use Icebreaker to make ammo, they actually have to use Icebreaker
-
Banning weapons from crucible is not an option and is a ridiculous suggestion.
-
I noticed that sidearms spawn in with ammo and a quick switch to shotgun/sniper between rounds will keep that ammo.
-
I was just casually playing and dying a lot then still completing bounties while losing most matches Doubles is awful
-
NLB as a crutch?!? God bless. The amount of players in this community that are decent with the NLB is minimal. When I see a NLB I assume they aren't good with it. Most of the time I'm right. Been using it since year 1 and it's not a crutch. It's the best gun in the game of used to it's potential.
-
Lol, I actually found I did better against people who camped there spawn. They couldn't snipe me when I'm 5ft away with my doctrine/nirwens/hung jury/fatebringer. Was the best laugh ever.
-
Who cares?? It's for fun. And it's only for a week

Edited by WormChi: 2/10/2016 9:07:41 PMAll they need to do is lock loadouts before match start. No switching to truth-out of icebreaker-nothing. If you start with NLB. That's what you're using for the rest of the match.
-
I takes your exotic slot, and isn't available (for the most part) in endgame. I do think that it is cheap, but nowhere near ban-worthey
-
Goddammit..., dont make go for my Icebreaker..., i already passed that part of my life....
-
Icebreaker is amazing and I hope it comes to year 2.
-
I totally disagree. Icebreaker is good yes but no special isnt the problem. The problem is they made crimson doubles level advantage disabled. Huge mistake.
-
Edited by Benzene21: 2/10/2016 9:00:09 PMThey won't ban IB and Invective. Please. All they are going to do is stop the mag refill of other weapons when you switch. With UR and NLB they will probably make ammo count as special instead of primary, though that one would be tricky, but we'll see.
-
If it is equippable by all then why is it a crutch?
-
Lol this is what Its come to? No Land Beyond is a crutch, really no land beyond? One of the most difficult weapons in the game to use is now a scrub weapon... Lmao wtf...

Edited by X-factor1984: 2/10/2016 8:35:20 PMHere's what u do when they use icebreaker. Let em have it. I get mine and teach them a lesson. Lol. Granted they got me at first. Btw they started w icebreaker then switched to eirine or whatever. I dont use it https://youtu.be/MwmWOHxIhkY

Hehe. Dusted her off after several months. Missed my baby.
-
I have won every game on my other character in crimson doubles, I am using a zhalo or plan c as my exotic so git gud
-
Stop Whinning god Damn man
-
Well they can't exactly ban the gun based on the way the game is setup, unless you're forced to re pick your loadout when you go into matchmaking for crimson and then you get all the illegal weapons disabled like say when you try to equip a second exotic on armor or weapon slots. Itd be a completely new match making feature and that ain't happening per the current lazy matchmaking that exists. Theyd just have to disable that perk in this game mode on those weapons.
-
Inventive generates ammo?
-
I saw Icebreaker, Invective, No Land Beyond, Thorn, and you know what I did? I handled it.
-
Rush them at the beginning of the match, wipe them pick up special and thats it.
-
That's funny.... because we were owning the icebreaker people. Hell, I was using Fatebringer or Vision just for giggles and they still got owned. But that may be because my group rarely uses specials. We prefer primaries.
-
I faced a pair of icebreakers a few times and beat most of them. Its not a big deal.
-
I ran 28 matches last night. Didn't see a single icebreaker or invective.
