Iron Banner is an embarrassment
I love how much Iron Banner was hyped up and how DeeJ and all the other employees at Bungie advertised it as a game mode in which better armor and better weapons actually matter when in reality there is a difference so small in the level advantage that it's basically not even there. As a level 29-30 with full raid armor it takes me the same time to kill a level 6 as it does to kill a level 26. Multiple times I have been shut down by level 9 players with the shingen-c or level 19 players with the shingen-e at the same rate in which they'd shut me down in regular crucible. I tested this out by swapping out my Vanquisher for the BEGINNING AUTO RIFLE you pick up in the first mission and I managed to get second place easily. I further tried this out by deranking myself by wearing all blue armor instead of my usual all raid gear and exotics and what do you know, I was getting killed at the same rate as if I was still level 30 and killing at the same rate as if I had my Vanquisher or Monte Carlo. This is an embarrassment and a huge -blam!- you to us from Bungie.
PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU'VE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES!
No flaming, let's just discuss.
EDIT: My level 30 gear is in the vault at te moment, I'll be home at 5pm PST to put it on
EDIT: Armor is on my warlock 1433 defense

33 RepliesHonest question to those complaining about the Iron Banner - have you ever played other shooters? Like at all? Well I have - I've played CoD a lot and love the BF series. Interesting thing about those shooters? Levels don't always indicate how good someone is. You can do well as a low level, if you play smart, utilize the strengths of your kit, and have a good shot. Maybe the reason why some of you are getting beaten by lower level players isn't because the Iron Banner is broken, but because those players are actually better at a competitive multiplayer shooter than you? You know - better at: a) controlling recoil? b) navigating the map? c) thinking smart? lol - just because you are struggling agiainst a lower level guy, it doesn't mean that there's somethin wrong with the game - it more than likely means that you are being outworked, out skilled, and out-thought. So adjust. OR, come onto a forum and embarrass yourself. You pick.
