I have always looked forward to Iron Banner in D1, even in the beginning of D2. Since the last year or two. Iron Banner has felt like a chore to complete just to raise your power level. These are the things that I think could make Iron Banner a much better experience that players would be excited for. The first thing is the Control game mode. What made this a much better experience in D1 was that you had to not only capture a zone but you had to neutralize it first if it was already captured by the opposing team. Currently zones are captured too fast when in D1 this felt like a battle for the zone now feels like you have to abandon a gun fight to sprint back to a zone you just captured. This makes for a mess of a match with players running in all different directions. Another thing about this mode in Iron Banner is capturing three zones locks them all. This definitely needs to go. This feature along with my previous point is the cause of matches being a total blowout. By simply reverting to what worked in D1 would be the best way to fix Iron Banner. Another thing I suggest is having armor and weapons that are desirable. Iron Banner in D1 was much better at this. The maps are a problem in the crucible right now. Most are too small and there’s not very many. All D2 crucible maps should return. Also one other thing would be to drop heavy ammo once a match on two sides like D1.
