Just wanted to give a nod to Bungie on this last iron bannerr, I thought it was much improved from the first new attempt. The grind actually felt worth it this time as the reward system was much more plentiful thus making the whole exp. feel a lot less like a grind. I also have to give a big thumbs up to this new system that breaks up teams that are way to unbalanced in an attempt to give everyone a better chance of getting a win here and there, esp. for those who are running solo and found themselves in a poor team assemble/dynamic.

Yep. The last Iron Banner was great. Good rewards for playing and a massive improvement from the one before.
-
I got all 3 of my characters to Rank 5 this go around, I haven't felt the need to do that in months. Got 2 319 ghost shells, a 316 Titan helmet and a 316 Warlock bond, and a 311 Scout Rifle, which I think is awesome as they have always been my favorite gun type and I look forward to using it next IB.

Played a couple of games, Clash is just too campy for me. Went back to COD
-
Agreed Last iron banner was one of my favorites since launch. Clash was fantastic. Most of the games were close and they could actually end in a decent amount of time. I could get twice as many games in a session than control. Was able to get to rank 5 in two days with some grinding. Also got a 315 titan mark from the package, which I desperately needed. Fantastic banner imo.
-
All-around good time, better loot too! The one thing I would change: less ghost shell.
-
Not sure why people say they "grind" Iron Banner. I find it a lot of fun and don't feel like it has the grind feeling. Grinding to me is farming for loot :)
-
Agreed. More fun. Closer matches. Better loot. I even finished the 13 match/7 win bounty in... 13 matches with 7 wins! Matchmaking was generally good to me during the entire Iron Banner.
-
Agreed. Now fix kings fall hardmode loot table please.
-
Yes it was greatly improved from the first IB of the TTK, however the RNG was still poor. For me, about 15 chest, 4 gauntlets, 2 hand cannons, 4 machine guns and 3 Ghost dropped. I would like to see more balance. The raid, NF and IB still has not dropped any boots across my 3 characters. It's forever VOG 29 all over again.
-
It brought me back after being on other games for a few weeks. It was a blast and the drops were great!
-
I was little bit suspicious of IB being Clash but tbh I enjoyed it. It felt really satisfying to actually do something and not just curse all the time bc your team isn't capturing the zones. I haven't done the Raid yet, so at the start of IB my Light was still around 295 but after IB it's up to 302, thanks to all the amazing drops. Nothing feels better than getting that rank to 5 and receiving 316 attack Scout Rifle. Also the over 300 artifact and good armor drops where nice. I didn't even have to buy anything from Lord Saladin! So good job Bungie, let's do this again at some point!
-
100 percent agree, this was a perfect IB in my estimation. I really hope they never go back to control as the masses just simply can't it right. I went from a 295 to a 302 Hunter, very happy.
-
They definitely fixed the loot drops and Clash was a nice change. I now want Iron Banner Rift or Zone Control, that would be fun.

I agree. The rewards were great! Got a 320 titan helm, 313 sniper, 315 ghost, and various gauntlets and chest pieces for my other classes. Brought back some of the year one fun from Iron Banner.
-
for me it was a waste of time i only got a 317 cloak
-
Had a great time, but I thought I got ripped off until I logged in yesterday and got 318 boots for my hunter. 310 shell, 310 artifact, brought me up to LL 309! Great Job Bungie this time around!
-
This Iron Banter was great, matey!
-
I had an awesome time. Lots of fun, and the change was welcomed.
-
Agree. I had a blast this week with the Iron Banner and jumped from 297 to 300 with the rewards, which as everyone knows is no small task.
-
Bump. Imagine my surprise when I had a 316 helmet waiting for me yesterday when I logged in.
-
Bump, it was more worth it this time
-
My favorite IB yet
-
Agreed...good job Bungie
-
Having more than one game mode to choose from would make it even better.
-
Anyone else notice that lots of legendary and IB rewards when your at lower levels and far less drops when you hit lev 5? I couldn't get anything to drop for me at level 5 after playing all day on Saturday however, at rank 2 and 3 I saw othet people getting really nice drops up to light 319 on a ghost drop.
