After playing gun run so much I'm struggling to enjoy Control. And I loved Control before. I'm not sure what it is. Maybe it's when you die it feels like it takes too long to get back in. Or when the teams are mismatched the game takes too long. Gun run felt more competitively balanced for me with more instant action.

@dSKyNafinchin Yeah that's kinda weird. I haven't played in some weeks now, but my WH was working fine.As for control - I have to agree to some degree with the opening thesis here. I'm pretty much done with my season, but was happily queuing for gun run any at the end of the week. With no progression I'm trying to earn, I've only popped on for one session to play Control so far. I do still like it, but I wonder if perhaps it's simply because it is a game mode with plenty of gunfights and a respawn mechanic. Despite its flaws, I guess I found Gun Run to be a much more playable mode for me than Control.

I still like Control better because it is strategic, gives you some weapon selection, and lasts longer. But I still like GR too.

@hayhor LMAO totally agree. Enjoyed Gun Run so much that when I tried control, I was like “Meh I’ll just play Overwatch if I want to play this type of mode.”

@dSKyNafinchin Why not? Witherhoard is life. I don't recall it being locked from bugs right now (Telesto is behaving for once).That and my Auto-loading Holster/Drop Mag Gnawing Hunger is why I rarely ever have to reload and when I do it's super fast. They are my babies.

@dSKyNafinchin Did you have another Exotic Weapon equipped in the Energy or Heavy Slot? You can only have one Exotic Weapon and one Exotic Armor equipped at once.Otherwise I would always have Witherhoard, Hard Light, and Thunderloard equipped for guns, and Knucklehead Radar, Liar's Handshake, Sixth Coyote, and Stomp33s for armor.

Gun Run has ruined Control for me.

@Cheese9Man I personally like that control came back with no badge or objective to grind to, I feel like there are less cheaters than original control.

@Cheese9Man If I want Control, I will play the superior Destiny 2 version. They really have made an attempt at better balanced matchmaking this season and it shows. I'm still not great, but I'm not getting stomped on.

@KyldenarI finally loaded back in to Destiny 2 the other day, and I can't use my Witherhoard ☹️

I need to get back into that game, I just have too many other ones that I'm currently playing, so I don't have enough time to really get back into it. Love the game though! I usually stayed away from the PvP mode, and mostly played the PvE one where you can take the portal to the other side to try to eliminate people from the other team and heal their boss (can't remember what it was called).
@hayhor I definitely prefer Gun Run, but I still had some fun on Control. Not so much when I was solo, but when my buddies hopped on, we had a blast for a few matches

@Kyldenar Seriously?! I tried to equip it, but it was shaded out, so I stuck it in the vault. I'll definitely be looking back into that!! It's probably my favorite weapon for PvE, Lmao. I know it's cheap-ish, but good lord is it fun!! Can't remember if I got the Gnawing Hunger or not. I haven't been active on there in a good year or so. I always loved using the Hard Light.. love that thing

@KyldenarNo no no, Gnawing Hunger needs subsistence / rampage 🙂 You need to play more Dares lol. Love me some Dares.

As much as I love that gun, for some reason I still find myself using my surplus / adrenaline junkie Arc Logic more - that thing is an absolute crit laser beam, it's especially good with Arc 3.0. It's worth farming imo.
edit: Just realized you were talking about pvp, never mind then. I also prefer Gnawing Hunger, but I use zen moment / kill clip, it's great.
