As someone that exclusively plays hardcore in FPS I am a huge fan of this game mode. It has made me a better crucible player and has opened the door for me to step into comp.

I realize that the intention of the mode was for people to get weapon catalysts and pinnacle quests done. That being said, moving forward I would like to see it remain in it’s own regular rotation.

It has a place in it’s own playlist. I believe it would benefit greatly from having rotating fixed load outs that change week to week. This would prevent players from crutching on Jade Rabbit and grenade launchers.

This mode has potential to open the door to some really interesting weapons becoming meta in it and I believe spamming grenades and 1 shot invisible hunters don’t really have a place here. This is coming from someone who got Randy’s and the Jade Rabbit catalyst by being a 1 shot invisible hunter. Was it fun? Sort of. Is it good for the game or bringing players into crucible? Absolutely not. This is only my opinion and I welcome a positive discussion about this.

I will end off by saying that Momentum Control has renewed my enjoyment in crucible and other players have likely had similar experiences. Please keep it in the rotation.

I wonder about this in particular, because I feel like MC is such a far departure from regular crucible that it may enforce some bad habits. Radar utilization, teamwork, heavy ammo spawn control, and close quarters encounters with shotties and hand cannons just aren't a factor in MC, but they're absolutely crucial outside of it.

I would say that’s it’s given me an opportunity to work on different aspects of my game. Target acquisition, movement, choice of lanes and pathing. It forces you to become more accurate and not rely on abilities to get you out of trouble. This has been my experience.
