Seriously, only Bungie can f this up.
Seriously the controls are terrible, the map is terrible. And wtf, why Supremacy ?
Hit registrations barely works, the damage is all over the place and so is the fire rate. For no reason other than for you to die, the gun will just jam.
Oh and also there are cheaters in here making it even more fun.
Terrible addition to the game. Further making pvp worse.

More informal review after playing it more.
MAP: The map is clearly not meant for this mode. Whilst the Brig doesn't have that much issue traversing it, the Tank on the other hand does. It gets stuck on everything and if you drive off the ledge, there is a high possibility that you will land upside down and then watch the game struggle with trying to flip you. So you will mostly sit there and watch your tank do some flips for awhile.
The Controls: My god, do i even have to say anything ? Okay so the Brig handles okay, all be it very slowly and its walking animation is terrible. The biggest issue with the Brigg is that it will randomly use its dodge. Seriously i am not pressing the dodge button, nor am i double tapping a certain direction.
The Tank, Don't even get me started. Why do you control the Tank with both sticks or wasd and your mouse ? Whose idea was that ? What will often happen is that your controls will just flip all randomly. The tank will often change what side is the front and because of these terribly designed controls, this will happen pretty much constantly. Not to mention how it loves to get stuck on the terrain. So many times have i gotten hit by and otherwise easily avoidable hit, all because my Tank got attracted to an ice block.
Hit registration: Uhm... where is it ? I swear to god the hit registration only exist when it feels like it. So many direct hits and nothing. They are probably using the hitbox of the Guardians and that is why it so -blam!- inconsistent.
Fire rate: All over the place. some times there is a 1 second delay between shots and other times there might be 2 seconds. It can also be 0.5 seconds when you are doing a 1v1, but not for the both of you though. So it is extremely unfair when a person just gets double your fire rate.
Supremacy: Seriously why is this a Supremacy game mode ? It really didn't need to be and it is so poorly implemented as well. You already move so slowly in this game mode, why did you feel the need to also make the game slow ? Not to mention how broken it is.
First of all it gives 2 hits of health back, WHY ?
that is far to much, so much so that you can kill the entire enemy team by just picking them up.
I have seen it happen multiple times and even done so myself. Then we have the issue of even collecting it.
Quite a few kills will be from a far, so that means that your enemies are most likely going to pick it up. Secondly, for what ever reason the coin can be picked up before the person is even dead. I am not even joking. I have been in a 1 vs 2 and before my killing shot hit someone, the other person just heals up and the coin is gone. All before that person is even dead. WTF.
New issue found, you will not always pick up the token, even though you walk through it or even stand on it.
MISC: WHY do we have to spend some rare tokens to re-roll bounties ? There is 0 rewards in this mode anyways. It is not like you are giving away exotics, Adepts and Artifice. You are selling Glimmer. Dafuq.
Why do the Heavy metal engram only contain 2 world weapons that no one uses and 2 mediocre Nightfall weapons ? Why didn't you make any unique weapons in the theme of these game mode ?
Who is going to sit and grind Heavy metal for Boondoggle ?
Opening intro to the match is unnecessarily long.
Lastly, why is the new gun mounted Sparrow 140 ? The enemies has almost no issues what so ever to hit you when you are going at 190, not to mention how little health they have. A single linear shot and your sparrow is gone. Now at 140, you will most likely be dead before you even start to shoot.

To be honest, despite having 15 wins and 3 losses (despite being a solo), this mode is pretty boring. It's pretty much straight forward. Just quickly close in to your target and do special/normal attacks at the same time quickly and always do evasion action to avoid being targeted at. Always stay with one of your teammates for rushing in one of the targets (reminds me of the 3 VS 3 team attack PVP when Destiny 2 first came out). One of the 'quest' I absolutely hate the most is getting 6 'leader' kills. If you or your teammate has the 'leader' status, it's pretty much impossible to complete that. That one needs to go.
