New Crucible Arenas

So Trials of Osiris aside for a sec, there's a little bit of information on the new arenas for regular Crucible. [I]Black Shield: FIREBASE THURIA, PHOBOS This decommissioned Firebase is believed to have been a key defensive position used by the Cabal when they established their warbase on the surface of Mars. Black Shield is a symmetrical map with multiple chokepoints and an interior middle ground to hold, leading to frenetic encounters.[/I] Sounds like a mixture of Pantheon and Firebase Delphi in terms of design. I am curious how it will look different then Delphi, but don't see much appeal other than giving an alternate map. [I]WIDOW'S COURT: EUROPEAN DEAD ZONE, EARTH On the edge of the European Dead Zone, there are countless stories of the events that left this village a ghost town. Widow’s Court is an asymmetrical map with both long sightlines and cramped interiors, supporting short and long-range strategies.[/I] Sounds way too much like Skywatch and possibly Rusted Lands. Another sniper's paradise that forces everyone to the tight side streets to make any head way. Visually, it is the most interesting to me. [I]THIEVES' DEN: ISHTAR SINK, VENUS This Fallen hideout, located in the calderas of Venus, has been cleared for Crucible combat. The hideout itself remains intact, complete with an idling Skiff and constant reminders of the Fallen’s presence, providing Guardians with a vital training ground. Thieves’ Den is a fairly large symmetrical map with precarious drops that offer alternate routes for those willing to risk the fall.[/I] Sounds similar to the Shores of Time - sniper nooks and blind spots aplenty with some big fall-offs if you are not careful. I see a lot of "death by misadventure" moments as people try to find that "special" shortcut or jump to make an ambush. The Fallen setting for the look sounds interesting. That's my two cents on looking at it.
