Iron banner fortress.

I’m starting to think that a massive amount of people playing IB have absolutely no idea how to play the objective. Remember kids - pushing to capture a zone = good. Hanging back to snipe and increase your kill count (that has no effect on the score) = bad. Again. Capturing and holding zones. Good. Just trying to non purposefully up your k/d. Bad.

  • Guarding a zone so the enemy team doesn’t cap it is bad? Who taught you how to play objectives 😅

      I reset my IB rank TWICE to get the shader and didn't win enough games to get the "win games" gilded triumph. 2. WHOLE. RESETS. Just goes to show how stupid people are that they can't just cap zones.

    • Yeah, in a game with guns, let's just run and hide and go to whatever zone is unoccupied. This mode is garbage.

    • I can be responsible of my k/d. I can’t be responsible for game modes that absolutely no one asked for.

      • We know how. We just hate the god awful mode. Bungo LOOOOVES data. Hopefully when their data shows we don't play their garbage objective, they change the mode. And it's not that people don't like objectives. We just don't like the 25th iteration of control with extra steps. OBJ modes can be great. Fortress is not for a [b]lot[/b] of people.

      • Getting kills isn’t the issue… It’s the ones that go off trying to get kills by themselves and just end up dying pointlessly. If you’re going to be off ignoring zones and your teammates, you better be fragging or you’re just a detriment to the team.

      • Flank your enemy. Most watch their radar and will chase you instead of fighting for the zone there by allowing your teammates more time to capture. I’ve had 3 enemies turn around and chase me instead of fighting for the zone. Their KD is more important then winning 🤣.

      • Yes and no, dead guardians can not kill you, defend zones, or capture zones. If a teammate is fragging out, he is probably helping more than hurting. Play off of him instead of being a bad teammate, there is rarely a situation where dropping high kills is not helpful.

      • This. I am going to add something though. Rushing into a 4v1 and getting yourself killed over and over is just as "helpful" as the guy who just camps and snipes all game. There is a little bit of a line there between hanging back too much, and rushing in too much. You gotta know that balance. Myself I will cap points whenever possible, but I also play zone defense when applicable. It's just as important to hold zones and not let the opponent capture them as it is to get them in the first place.

      • Bruh you forget, having a great K/D is much more important for players then winning… they rather progress slower and make it more of a grind then give up their K/D…

      • Clearly, you're a noob to Destiny. Every IB match is played as if it were clash. I'm not sure why. Most of us don't matter and have very little effect on the outcome of a match. There are always 2 or 3 people that carry the weight of the team and I'm not one of them. I'm part of the group that loses +80% of the I matches... at least when solo. It's all good though. Is Fortress the most campy mode?

Bad.[/quote] I hate to be that guy. But it doesn’t matter. Despite Kills not mattering, over all KD does, simply because if one team is more skilled the other team isn’t alive long enough to get captures. Essentially like all games in pvp, the match is decided before u land. As always, if after the match u can look at the lobby and think “if the players would have been mixed differently, the outcome would have changed” then congrats! U just got bad RNG with lobby balance and there is nothing u could have done. This whole “my team could have tried harder to get objectives” just results in the enemy team trying harder too and the outcome doesn’t change. Just try to have fun and realize bungie decided if u would win or lose 90% of the games as ur flying in.

        • What are zones 🤔😁 But really, playing objective based is hard for some.

        • Fortress just sucks as a gamemode. When it was announced, my assumption was that you’d be able to “overcapture” zones to spawn cabal turrets. Neutralize, capture, capture again for turrets. Makes more sense for a mode called fortress to be about taking and fortifying territory.

            They’re either ignorant or lazy. They won’t play the mode and just wanna grieve the rest of the team, tbh. Most are just leaving now, the second they see the other team just simply “try.” I know, I know; the rewards are pure garbage. Why play? Some of us just aren’t raid primas.
