Countdown and Changes to Returning Crucible Modes
What’s Different in Destiny 2
The Crucible was, and still is, a big deal in Destiny, and it’s set to be an even bigger deal in the upcoming sequel. Of course, Bungie couldn’t just leave things as is, just like the PvE side of things, the Crucible has gotten a facelift that changes how players will approach battles. For starters, all modes will now be 4v4 to make for smaller, more personal matches. Also, super types and charges for all players will be displayed at the top of the screen which adds to the strategy side of things. There are also new and altered modes to play.
First up is the introduction of a new search and destroy mode called Countdown. This fast-paced PvP mode follows elimination rules and tasks teams with alternating rounds of attack and defend. It’s a very competitive mode that scores the entire team with rounds.
Control has received a number of changes, though it’s still about controlling the map. Capturing areas is much faster, heavy ammo comes at an increased rate (though only one person can use one supply box), and the maps shown so far are more condensed. It promotes tighter team play while keeping action at the forefront.
We’re sure there are many more changes coming to the PvP side of Destiny 2, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
