I've heard some praise but mostly disdain for the choice of Rift in Iron Banner. Playing Rift in Iron Banner is some of the least amount of fun I've ever had playing this game since launch. I support Bungie trying new game types out in Iron Banner, but this run's choice of Rift brings something to light that I think is an oversight. While some points can be gained by acquiring kills, the most points comes from capturing/running the spark and igniting the rift. Most people I’ve played with in the matchmaking system don’t really guard the spark or rift that well, seemingly focusing on kills. This is likely because almost all the Iron Banner bounties require kills to accomplish. No bounties Lord Saladin offers on a daily basis require you to down an enemy runner or run a spark to a certain point or even score with the spark. This seems counter-intuitive to the intended gameplay for Rift. So instead of a game where people strategize and actually cover each other (which does happen on the rare occasion), you get games where people are racking up kills and dominating the spark spawn. If you replaced some of the bounties Lord Saladin offers with Rift-related goals, then I think the focus would shift enough to have a more enjoyable playing experience across the board.
