As per someones request in another thread, I would like to gather interest to NEVER again see Rift as the Iron Banner game mode.
I actually have nothing against the mode, it rewards actual team play more than probably any other game mode. But there in lies the problem. As is often the case, being drawn against a full 6 man team makes life hard in Banner (or crucible in general) but in clash or control a 6 man vs maybe a 2/3 man fire team and some randoms isn't always a forgone conclusion.
In Rift... with the benefits that actual communication brings, Rift is suited to a full (or nearly full) fire team more than any other mode. I fire team in crucible and would encourage others to when they can, it does make your experience better but Rift.... no. Even 6 v 6 all randoms, it's a total crap shoot, you coul dget 5 other players that understand how Rift works or 5 other people all content to run around "killing the man" ignorant of this "the runner" whoever he is and whatever it is he does... and the glowing orb thing... whats that all about?
Not their fault, play crucible however you want it's your game. But it's a hell of a lot more productive to actually play the game mode...
The TLDR : Please, lets NOT have Iron Banner Rift again. The sentiment has been the same every time it's been done, let's learn from that..

I thought it was already determined that rift wouldn't be in the iron banner again. It is a bs game mode.
-
Signed and dated. It didn't go well. :( Turns out she's not into Pokemon and I'm not into dumb bitches who don't Squirtle's primary attack. She asked to be friends. I said no.

I'll sign. IMO, Rift sucks for IB.
-
I will feast upon the salty tears.
-
sorry pal , but I'm having fun. both in the game and on the forums with all the crying.
-
I'm actually liking it
-
if the only argument for not having rift is the lack of team play, it won't happen. there are too many ways to form a group and play as a team. aside from the rampant spawn camping, the mode is fine once in a while.
-
Make a team and lead it then? If people don't seem to know how to play Rift properly, explain it. My friends and I were only a fireteam of 4 last night but it was enough for us to do pretty well, won most of the games we played.

It's happened twice- if you don't like sit out a week - relax & read a book - we'll see you next week for SRL
