Hey everyone,
I'll start with the disclaimers:
-I am a casual Lockdown player who enjoys the PvP aspect, but I do not follow or agree with most/all of the rage out there.
-Also, I will not be actively responding to each and every comment people make, however I am interested in hearing what people think of the idea.
-I am okay with Auto-Aim in general, mostly because those who Rage about it could merely just turn it on and viola, the playing field is leveled (with regards to AA vs Non-AA). I personally use AA when swording as a striker, but turn it off when playing as a guardian and when gunning as well.
-Finally, this may have been suggested already however I do not follow along with each and every suggestion or Lockdown thread so if I missed it let me know and I will graveyard this thread.
Now onto the suggestion:
A lockdown gametype called "Lockdown Pro" (purely a reference to the halo gametype "Slayer Pro" in Halo which was developed as an attempt to come up with a gametype that more accurately pitted people against each other in a game where skill and teamwork was more important, not necessarily power weapons and overpowered abilities).
In this gametype all UVs and Trinkets would be disabled, auto-aim would also be disabled (if feasible) and there would be no heal pads. Instead, each enemy death would net a larger heart (ie: 3 HP instead of 1).
Scoring would remain the same, as it would be based on capturing the control points.
I welcome any and all discussion on this topic (ESPECIALLY if anyone has a cool name for the gametype), but as soon as this degenerates into personal attacks of those who rage at each other in all the Lockdown threads out there I'll just graveyard it. Hopefully the community can have a nice, spirited discussion about the legitimacy of this type of Lockdown option.

EDIT: I'm not saying remove the regular LD entirely, I'm proposing adding another Lockdown gametype to queue up for.
There won't be enough people playing. +0.5
