Iron Banner is exclusively Control? What is this shit?
Up Front Edit: I agree with a lot of you that Bungie is likely using the data from the Control-only Iron Banners to evaluate how things are working in PvP. That's fine, but if that's the case, why the hell don't they just SAY THAT? For most of us, that would be a perfectly acceptable explanation for the decision to make IB exclusively Control (for now). In fact, it would be [i]welcomed[/i] by many of us as a sign they are really working to improve the game by using some quantitative analysis of our gameplay. This company has had a problem telling us the truth from the very beginning, and it appears they still struggle with it.
Original Post:
I know this is a little dated...
From Last Week's TWaB:
"While we continue to evaluate the feedback and data from the last Iron Banner Control with 6v6, we've heard two messages very clearly. Having more opportunities to play 6v6 is highly desired and Control remains the most popular mode for 6v6. As such, you can expect Iron Banner to feature 6v6 Control exclusively moving into Season 3."
What? Iron Banner will be nothing but Control?
Where is the Bungie poll showing that Control is the overwhelming favorite of Iron Banner players? I've seen a lot of polls over the years, and Clash was the consistent favorite mode of D1 players. And if Control isn't the OVERWHELMING favorite of players - but is simply the favorite of the majority (like, 51%) - then does that justify throwing baby-Clash out with the bathwater? Hell no, that'd be -blam!-ing stupid. (I remind myself who I am dealing with, here. smh)
Even if I am wrong, and Control is VERY popular with D2 players, why is the Iron Banner [i]exclusively[/i] Control? Isn't the IB supposed to be a test of Guardians' skill? Wouldn't that be tested more effectively across more than a single game mode? And, aren't the D2 maps awfully small for Control?
Why not rotate between Clash and Control (everyone hates Supremacy, so it's a no brainer to exclude [i]that[/i] POS mode)? Seems like laziness, Bungie, that you are trying to cover-up by claiming you're listening to the Community and giving us our favorite game mode. I don't buy it one bit.
I just don't understand why, at a time when they should be working HARD to retain players, Bungie further limits players' options in one of the few remaining events with even a sliver of enjoyable replayability. Thoughts?

1 ReplyThey should allow voting for the game mode in the week prior to iron banner. Problem solved. If you're game mode doesn't win, simply don't play if you don't want to. That'll send a message to bungie.

1 ReplyWhy the Hell do you need an Explanation? Did you not play D1? It was Exclusively Control for the better part of 2 Years... It’s the most traditional form of Iron Banner... Nothing to get up in Arms about and demand an explanation and claim they aren’t being upfront about...

1 ReplyThat's how it is in the ways of old.

2 RepliesI'm sorry Mr Law, but you will need to play according to bungie's rules. After all, they know best. #AnOceanOfSarcasm
-
And PS: I love supremacy it brings out the beast in me, that's my favorite game mode, I hope everyone doesn't hate that mode cause I might like it to come back for banner. But still you have the team shot issue and with six it'll be hell on tiny map
-
1 ReplyHow about Control/Clash/Control/Supremacy
-
Rotating the modes would be cool but they can't do that because if it was clash for say, it would just be team shot hell but with control you have multiple zones to try and get so you end up with people going all over the place trying to get zones. That's what I think.
-
Rotating is cool. Maybe they could add rift to it aswell But you know what wouldnt be cool [spoiler]S u p r e m a c y[/spoiler]
-
2 RepliesNah, just put IB back in D1 exactly how it was and problem solved :)
-
2 RepliesWhy can't IB just be its very own game mode, original and nothing like any of the other modes we already have now?
-
13 RepliesClash sucks nobody plays it. Way more players play control
-
2 RepliesControl is complete cancer. Having to rely on dumb ass teammates to cap flags. No thanks. Every time I play, I have like 7 captures, and my teammates all have 0. The vast majority of players are too incompetent for control. Apparently, standing still on a flag until a square fills up is too complicated.

5 RepliesSupremacy IB
-
4 RepliesControl is far better than any other mode. So it is good.

3 RepliesThey should add rift.

1 ReplyI like Control more than Clash. In D1, there was nothing more satisfying than dropping a Novabomb on a packed control zone or fending of a horde of blind zone rushers with my shotty. I even enjoyed Supremacy then. It's not quite that satisfying in D2 with the watered down weapons and abilities. As a result, I really don't care what the mode is. Most blueberries ignore the objective anyhow. That being said, I have no problem with Iron Banner rotating game modes. I've never been a fan of less options.
-
Also supremacy and RIFT WHAT ABOUT RIFT CAN BUNGIE EVEN INTRODUCE A NEW 6V6 GAME MODE?
-
1 Reply[b][i]NONE OF THESE OPTIONS![/i][/b] Iron Banner should rotate between all match types, including the excluded Rift!
-
1 ReplyI miss Rift
-
I'd rather it just be Clash since capturing points and basic teamwork are too much for most of these idiots I seem to get on my team.
-
3 RepliesEdited by blade329: 5/2/2018 8:31:04 PMI wouldn't mind. I like Control. I never get tired of it. As long as they keep it 6v6, I'm okay.
-
What in the actual -blam!- even is the PvP in the "Game". Abilities are so much piss in the wind and guns feel weak and ineffective. Why even bother having PvP if its going to be this watered down and horrible. This week was my first and last foray into IB in Destiny 2 because its absolute garbage along with the reat of this dumpster fire of a "game".
-
6 RepliesAbsolutely right. They should do a couple Iron Banner Rifts. Just to get you whiners properly riled up.
-
1 ReplyIt sucks no matter what they do. Those baby maps, the supers, the TTk, Tokens, No random rolls or light level advantages. Its ass.
-
why not just make all modes and allow people to actually choose which they want or would that be to hard? I played some last night and it was getting kinda old playing the exact same mode each time. still not sure why its not like destiny was with all modes and the option to choose which you want. has bungie actually answered that question?
-
1 ReplySHHHHH Bungie: "We're listening, and we heard you. From now on, Iron Banner will exclusively be Supremacy. You're welcome."
