This one is simple: let's use the existing EAZ assets to create am amazing 8v8 (or 10v10) Crucible map.
Think about it- we don't really have any long range maps like we used to have in D1, which is part of the reason shotguns and hand cannons feel so overwhelmingly powerful. If most of the maps in the rotation are three-lane CCB experiences, then of course shotgun play will be rewarded.
The EAZ not only offers itself as a much larger map, but it also has something Destiny hasn't explored yet: verticality and diversity. You have rooftops with cover for snipers and scout rifles. You have building interiors for SMGs and shotguns. You've got quasi-open streets for generic gunplay. The EAZ, I believe, could offer an insanely fun Crucible experience for not only Clash and Control, but even modes like King of the Hill or perhaps an Attack and Defend style mode. I mean, you could section the map off with various areas giving whichever team holds that area a unique buff such as intermittent wall hacks, or faster-than-normal health regeneration. Depending on the game mode, these areas would become more or less valuable, and as such it would help to spread out the battle. Or, you could just make the sections that so long as you have Guardians in them, you get more points per kill. All it would take is two Guardian to hold it, but that way you could spread out the fight and make the gameplay more tactical depending on what the situation is at the time.
Imagine, you're a Void Hunter taking advantage of invisibility to move across the rooftops to get to the perfect window to snipe down on an objective from. You have your Titan friend meet you in the building where they can watch the street around you and cover your flank while you defend the objective. Meanwhile, above the main courtyard a top-tree Dawnblade Warlock is looking for your position all while dealing with fire from the rooftops opposite of you. In the parking garage an intense close-range skirmish is going down while each team is battling to either defend or take the flag/bomb/whatever. In the main courtyard, Guardians battle it out for control of the central hub of the map to gain extra points per kill.
The EAZ is a really cool area, and I feel if we morphed it into a Crucible map it would not only breathe life into the map itself, but also offer something very different and unique to the Crucible game mode, which we can all agree is in desperate need for some new life.

Yep. A scout rifle user’s dream.

I’d like to see bungie turn the EAZ into a infection type game mode for festival of the lost
-
-
*brings back old skirmish maps form D1* We have heard your call guardians -bungie

Honestly, gimme the Firebase Hades section as an 8v8 map and I'll play the hell out of it. Straight up Halo 3 Valhalla vibes!
-
This. I have always wanted larger team-larger map PvP in Destiny, and the fact that you can go into most buildings in the EAZ makes it a much larger place than it actually seems. I'm just imagining some guys hopping in the fallen teleporters and then using Wings of Sacred Dawn to get some utter snipes. "THIS IS AMAZING" -Lord Shaxx

Could be a Combined Arms Map with Roof Turrets and Stuff.
-
I like this idea. I would def play this mode. Also, Rift on the EAZ would be an interesting twist
-
I would totally play a mode where 12v12 landed on a monthly rotating destination and went totally free for all. Perhaps you could choose what team you wanted to be on in game, decide strategy for an objective, chose not to play the objective, be a rogue solo aginst the 11v12 battle, whatever. All enemy NPCs are in play, all lost sectors, everything. Nearly no rules. That would be epic
-
This is a cool idea but in my opinion it does not fit a 6v6 game mode if they created a game mode 12v12 5 flags to capture like conquest in battlefield the map would fit I do want to see a vex network map or a Europa map
-
Yesss this would be great! Please make it happen Bungie!
-
It would be a 100% sniper map. I'll pass thank you.

Edited by NeoIcarus1: 7/12/2021 10:02:32 PMThought about this. NO THANK YOU!!! As much as it would look like a fun map, it actuality it wouldnt be. A few players would go to the rooftops for sniping, others would hit the buildings to stay out of line of sight. Then you have shotgunners roaming inside the buildings. Noone would be out in the middle of the courtyard. It would be 10 mins of a bad Crucible match. There is a reason why Bungie doesnt let players roam the maps we already have.
-
I’ll take ANY new pvp map at this point.
-
Or they can bring back the D1 edz map
-
it would just be rooftop camping simulator 2021. I can see it now.
-
That would be a great idea , unfortunately Bungie has lost the ability to be so creative I want a PvP map inside the vex network
-
Capture the flag game mode. Don't see it many games these days and this map would be ideal
-
Sounds pretty good to me.
-
As much fun as that map would be the gameplay wouldn’t add. It would be what it is now, people hiding waiting for abilities to come back or to wait and wait till someone comes into your special range, adding maps won’t make pvp good, they need to address how no one uses primary unless they have no special and no abilities, please make it start with one shot or none and battle for the special ammo chest. I think that would force the card on people to stop ability camping and special prep corners and to use primary to win battles for map and ammo control
-
Great idea!!
-
I still want a full patrol space with the same structure as the EAZ. I genuinely think it's the best play space they've ever made. Having a proper city patrol zone where you can wander streets and through old buildings and traverse rooftops would be amazing.
-
Probably be a sniping simulator. But what ever. I’ll take any new pvp map at this point. It’s an embarrassment at this point. Just realize old good maps from D1/D2. How hard is that?????!!!!!
-
I would love this as a rumble map :O
-
Let's do it!

^imaging playing rift on this map ... might be onto something...
