If I have to deal with over six months of countdown, I'm not playing this season. Countdown was trash when it was introduced. That's why it was removed from the game. And the dreaming city map is -blam!-. And if you get countdown on that map, you may as well just leave the game. We got rid of showdown for this, people.
Typical bungie. They spend so much time on 6v6 playlists and screw over all the people that like 3v3. Countdown is trash. Hot garbage 🔥🗑🔥
The spawns are ridiculous. It takes like 15 full seconds to run to the objective. And then you end up dying to a grenade or a witherhoard. It's a huge waste of time. And when YOUR charge detonate, it kills YOU! That's an old bug from the red war Era and the beta. Bungie copy and pasted this game mode and didn't implement any of the fixes to it that they had when they took it out. It's trash. Get rid of it and bring back showdown.
The game has too much power creep for this antiquated game mode. Especially done this poorly.
Another thing is that with stasis and strand in the game, you just get suspended or frozen put of the charge set/dismantle. I've seen nothing but coldsnap grenades in comp for the last day. You're just too vulnerable while interacting with the charge. The game has become too fast for countdown and that's the problem. It doesn't work and either needs a major overhaul, which we know bungie won't do, or it needs to be removed.
Some of us actually enjoy the competitive playlist and hate it when bungie does things to ruin it for us. This is an honest review of the activity and probably conveys some frustration. If this persists through next week, I won't be playing for the entire season. I got better things to do with my life. And I won't be buying final shape either. I've been on the fence about quitting destiny for a while now, but this could be the last straw. Either they fix this or I'm done. Your move bungie. Please respond.

Edited by A_mo: 11/29/2023 3:55:03 PMCount down may have been on that map before I think but it was also countdown on that map. That just doesn't sound very appealing at all. There's a lot of playlists though and some might not work out. There should be nothing wrong with people suggesting some things will have to go. I haven't played it yet though so I wouldn't be sure. It would really depend on how comp worked overall.

Countdown is good. Countdown rush is not.
