Edit: Decided to wrote out better the results. This could ALSO help for Bungie/Deej data for matchmaking and what people think of Iron Banner Rift. Note that I have not play it yet, when I do I will add up my experience
Edit 2: Wow... seen a lot fo replies, thanks. From what I have see, its spawntrapping, sniping and camping for the msot time. Eithe rits the worse lag, or no lag, what people comment
There are foods and drinks on the counter, just dont make mess >_< I always need to clean up by myself
My experience:
Played 12 games, my first 4 were solo. GOD the lag, and camping is real. the 4 games there wasnt a fireteam. I never joined a midmatch game, but every single game was enemy team double heavy, and losing by 12k points.
With my fireteam, we instead were steam-rolling. I will be doing this IB soly for the scout rifle, and artifact for my titan (infuse)

Absolutely shocking. They are ruining this game
-
First off I love Rift for IB. I and the LFG/friends list squads are having an absolute blast. Second the new match-making system (for me) is displaying MUCH MUCH MUUUUCH LESS lag than on Tuesday at launch. Good shit Bungie!
-
Worst lagg ever Its as if you lessened the criteria for each bar of connection, that fixes nothing I think out of the 20 somethin games I played yesterday I was greenbar 3 of them, it was better in year 1, can you maybe balance the 2?
-
Matchmaking is better, nice to be able to relax every other game and not have it be sweat city all the time. Rift as Iron Banner though? Beyond retarded.
-
Thought it was a dumb idea going into it, feels like an even dumber idea now that I've played it Woohoo
-
I'm rank 2.75 going for 5 , still rockin my thorn I'm level 300 if I switich to anguish of dynstan I'll be 317. The gameplay is still a rush very fun

1 ReplyMy experience is no experience. I just can't bring myself to even log in anymore, I get a wave of nausea just thinking about it.
-
It sucks. I feel like after the 'update' to matchmaking all I am facing are TEAMS when I am a solo player. It's ridiculous every game is a massacre!
-
Actually enjoying it surprisingly. Tuesday was a lag fest but yesterdays update to matchmaking has made a huge difference imo. Me and my clan did tree mercy in a row yesterday.
-
Still almost always start off getting added to a team that's way down. When does mercy kick in? When the other team is above by 10K for half the game ita time to end it. Spawn points need to be looked at. It's not fun to respawn and already have 3 guys shooting u can camp spawns. Is a spark holder goes out of bounds for any time it should be a kill. It is silly that u can bypass the play field by jumping out of bounds and hold the spark

1 ReplyMatchmaking is better in terms of less lag but there are a ton of awful glitches and broken things happening that likely are not lag based. I'm not seeing red bars but I would bet money that bungie simply rewrote the requirements for green/red bar to make everything seem better. As for rift.. I've played 2 days of it now and am Level 3. I hate it. I truly f'b hate rift. It's awful and punishes solo players or those without full fireteams. It's a crap game mode. I now go from always finishing top 3 to landing dead last almost every game. The point spread is also insane. Probably 10 to 15 percent of my matches end in a mercy rule loss. It's from getting matched against full fireteams and because if the idiotic scoring system of rift.
-
I am actually massively enjoying it bot solo and as a 6 manner. It's probably the most tactical gamemode so as a team of 6 it feels good to out think and outgun an opposite team.
-
Am I the only one that actually likes Rift? I support the decision for a different Iron Banner, despite half of the people not being able to play objectives. As for connection, well I don't want to be the one that cries 'lag' for the zillionth time. But Deej/Cozmo, shall we have Iron Banana: Rumble next time ? Muahahahaha.
-
I'm just going to put down a couple of words. It's not perfect but it's better than it was. Considerably better.
-
Play with friends. I play with a 4 man fireteam. One of them being 270 and we win 75% of our games because we keep the positivity high, communication tight and overall fun factor at MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE.
-
Better with a fireteam
-
7 RepliesIRON BANNER IS NOT A SOLO GAME MODE [spoiler]so stop getting frustrated when you suck at it[/spoiler]
-
Mainly played solo, it's not been awful. Not been great either, but I won't mind seeing it again in future.
-
Edited by Spaceman: 1/28/2016 6:52:54 AMStart the game with the spark in the middle, if a team scores all players reset and the spark is handed to the other team... like in basketball. If they die when carrying the spark, it gets put back in the middle.
-
2 RepliesToday 27th: Lag noticeable, not terrible but odd players despite being (green bar) teleporting across the map whilst still be able to shoot you. Heavy ammo constant problem, coupled with spawn kills. Being dropped into matches on the loosing side. Re-spawn needs serious addressing Solo is frustrating Loot drops still awful like last IB 1 pair of boots (currently rank 3)
-
It's been fun so far. Playing mostly solo or with one other person.
-
-blam!- this IB. It's joining spawn traps every -blam!-ing time. Every. -blam!-ing. Time.
-
3 Repliesyesterday: Iron LAG but pretty easy for some reason (people don't know how to play rift or what?). Also a festival of errors for some magic reason. today: pretty easy against green bars, then against god redbars in team of 6. The game put me with low lights (wtf are just doing a 276 light in this IB??). Also green bars using teleport and being inmortals. Titans with blink and shotguns are funny :/
-
2 RepliesJust quit in orbit if you see a fireteam of 4-6...ALWAYS check the roster before you fire up the jets.
-
Retarded random teammates
-
Rift -blam!-ing blows, I have no team so I think I'm done after this match. Peace out, rift isn't for me and I'm OK with that. To those that enjoy it have fun.
