And then they made the Crota encounter.
That's an odd sentiment actually as I've never thought of CTF as a mode that relies heavily on one person. In Halo the flag carrier was generally the most vulnerable.

Last time I played with you, I thought you were using Thorn.
Add a skill based ranking system and mm to that, and i would be playing that non stop.

can you only do 1 exotic bounty per character? I chose to get the invective shotgun. If I wanted to get any of the other exotic bounties would I be able to do it with the same character?
I never used Thorn much then or today. Secondly, I am always an advocate for buffs because strong weapons are the basis of fun (in my opinion). I will always support something getting buffed rather then nerfed. Even when something pisses me off to high heaven (long ass range shotguns) I don't want them nerfed. It's my personality.

Then you have power creep and TTK shortens to CoD Hardcore levels.

Yeah, most games balance CTF by simply making the flag carrier disadvantaged in some way. Typically that means revealing their location on the map, but I've seen games that limit the types of weapons you can use (or not even allow flag carriers to shoot at all in order to encourage teamwork).
You can do multiple exotic bounties on one. All you need is to get the Vanguard missive again.

What was the story here? I must have missed this exchange, I don't spend much if any time on other Destiny sites or articles.
Certainly don't want it to go there (hate that mode). I think the TTK is nice now, but some weapons need a boost. Weapons that require most skill should have the shortest TTK, like Zoba said.

You can get 1 of each bounty on your character and have all 5 going at the same time.
(I've done this on all three characters, sadly. lol)
The only limitation is that you can't have two of the same exotic bounty active.

Never said I didn't suck balls...wait what?
Iv used thorn, but lots of people use it as their main stay weapon. Never done that ever. And never ever will. Everyone's used thorn.

Edit: I know Nami... I know ;_;
Yeah exactly. One of many reasons the Crota fight is so out of whack with their design philosophies. I'm sure all the old guard here remember the Atheon teleport randomization that was meant to force every player to know every role. Iirc that was the origin of "working as intended"?
Also funny that, based on the spawn system, one player can still lose you a Control match by actually adhering to Shaxx's decree to "Capture all the zones!" and flipping spawns, lol.

Is it even Fallen, tho?
Looks more like the head of a Hobogoblin to me

Time to kill. How fast you can kill someone with a given weapon.
Instead of shoulder charge I want to spear enemies head first ..

Theoretically, you shouldn't be able to Solo any of the Crota raid. You should need to have other people around to take down Crota's shield and to cover the sword dude.
They probably could have added a mechanic similar to the Skolas one where you can only use the sword once and changed that whole dynamic (and make it literally impossible to solo).
Yep, have many of those to run.
Still waiting for Variks to summon me for this stupid bounty
For some reason this GIF in particular always makes me think of Rapture.

The Halo 5 beta was the shit! Believe!
I don't have an xbone so I wasn't able to try the beta, but your opinion gives me hope for a brighter Halo-filled future.
I'll do a 35.

It's impossible to solo skolas due to the devouring essence. Even a cheeselock can only get rid of the essence only once by self-res, won't have enough time to build super by the time the essence comes back.
