Dear Bungie,
I love this game and I don't want to hate on it. I especially enjoy the Crucible. There are so many different ways to engage with the enemy and play tactically (almost like high speed chess). I mainly play solo and have a 1.76 K/D (so I'm not just some whining newbie).
The fact is Shores of Time is a seriously unbalanced map. I can flip the spawns on Blind Watch and win the game (despite the fact that everyone says this is the most unbalanced Crucible map). Shores of Time just isn't working for me, unless I spawn on the B/C side of the map. I once had 30 kills and no deaths on that side using a sniper!
If you spawn at A, nine times out of ten you will loose the game. The enemy is able to control C and B with ease from cover while sniping from the raised platforms or camping at the stairs by B. It is not fun. The choke points are too narrow for the A team to get a foothold.
Something needs to be done to make this map fair. What about moving B closer to A? or making the choke points wider and giving more access to the B/C area?
Anyhow, I hope something is done about this map. I rarely rage quit (if ever), but my gosh spawning at A and getting repeatedly killed at choke points really gets under my skin.

I agree. C side gives you the best sniper spots to hold down the flags. A makes it hard to cover flags and such

Blind watch is disgusting on control. C and B is win. The only way you can get ahead is to take C, but that's only possible if you play with friends. The majority of the team just rushes B and gets murdered.

Does self bumping actually work? xD
