Over the years I’ve read tons of complaints about pvp and I was thinking of solutions that bungie could implement to make the pvp experience far better than it is.
I come from all the way back as far as the halo ce days and I’ve seen bungie do some great things with halo pvp that have been kind of lost to destiny.
I also feel like, that when a new season drops matchmaking as far as matchups go from trials to control to survival seems ok when the population base is high, but as seasons progress and get longer , like this one, people fall off, take a break, and matching becomes far more difficult . So what do I propose ?
Pvp has to become a priority, pve has some amazing content and continues , at least to me , to be the focus.
I would suggest the following
1. Release a couple new maps every expansion , and release 1-2 more during the season.
2. New game types
3. Have 3 new pinnacle weapons each season just for pvp. 1 kinetic, 1 energy, 1 power weapon , you can even stagger when we can start to work on those throughout a season so we don’t blow thru all 3 week 1.
4. Pvp armor with stats that matter, or pvp seasonal armor. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one piece of pvp armor ever have high stat rolls worth replacing some of my pve armor.
5. Entertain creating a forge type environment like you did for halo 3, clearly it can’t be called the same thing or function the exact same way, but the benefit to this is so massive. I remember community made forged maps being used in social and comp playlists in halo 3. There is zero reason to not look seriously at this , you gain community made maps, community made game types, which will also help keep pvp fresh and evolving.
6. You have clans integrated on the website, but you utilize this amazing feature very little. Bungie could do what they used to do way back in the halo days and play clans in pvp, do article right ups highlighting that clan, stream the games, give special emblems to encourage clans to participate.
These are some of my thoughts, I’m not sure if anyone will read this , or if they will even care. I would pay more if we actively had some of these things I mentioned above. I’m sure some members have other thoughts that are beneficial as well.

Changes to PvP are coming in season 17. Until then you should play Halo for PvP. Bungie has neglected their PvP players for so long they clearly do not care.
They've had seven years to sort Pvp out.
They're clearly not interested in maintaining it and so far have just been using it as a way to make players sink time into the game.
Other wise you'd have had multiple new maps and modes to fight in.
PS. Maps being brought in from D1 don't count as new maps.
