Comment here your experience with Iron Banner Rift (Data for Deej/Bungie)

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)

  • Stomping teams who misread the game objective as "stand in a row at spawn and hardscope away from spark where nobody travels" Seriously, next iron banner should be a 6 v 6 who can hardscope at a box the longest competition...

  • I have really enjoyed this Iron Banner experience, from a week 1 player who has been here through it all I took a good month or two break from Destiny to get some new games in and am back now. I do like the changes I see and balances that are in place. I think Rift has been a good choice for IB. One negative thing I would like to add is that when going in solo the comeback mechanics are just not there or are rarely there. I think the only time my team has been blown out and we were able to comeback was when I was in a fire team of 6 and we regrouped and were able to coordinate. That doesn't happen with solo randoms when you are getting destroyed. But overall it's been a fun experience I will say try to go in as a group of friends because it makes the experience better. Didn't encounter much lag got a tiny bit but I am expecting it to clear up come Wednesday at 10 PST.

  • Joining games losing by 7000-10000 points, spawn trapping, snipers everywhere. It's kind of awful, this idea is panning out awful

    • Enjoying it, winning and losing. Not too difficult gong in solo, only come up against a 6 man fireteam once. I like rift, although only really play it for the daily and Shaxxs weekly bounties, so am enjoying an extended run of it. Even if it was a game mode I didn't like, I'm glad Bungie are changing the game modes for Iron Banner, freshens things up. Negatives - 1.it's a game mode with a lot of blow out wins, and it's difficult to reverse momentum. Good individual play can have no effect on the overall game result. Also - this means that it is a poor game mode to test out different matchmaking systems. 2. The lag - a negative in all game modes, but a lagging spark runner can make the game unfair and unenjoyable. Perhaps this will ease off when the connection based matchmaking comes in. 3. Map roatation. There are only so many maps Rift is suitable for. I would like to see as many maps as possible in rotation. On the whole I've enjoyed it so far, if the overall player base hasn't enjoyed it may be best to retire it from Iron Banner, but I would play it again.

      • I haven't had much of a problem matchmaking. But I am finding a lot of teams from 3-6 people. Overall I haven't loved iron banner rift but I think this is more because I don't love the game type to begin with. I think I'll try finding a team and see if I have better luck. If anyone wants to slam dunk at about 3:00 MST on xbone hit up directorpearson

      • When IB came out I was so excited. What I didn't know is that the matchmaking was crap. I played about 7 games and won 2. The other 5 times was getting put into games where the other team was destroying us. My favorite was when I went into a game right from the start and I only had 1 other teammate. The other team had a full team of 6! I check everybody on their team to see if they were in a fire team but only 2 were.

      • Solo player here - For the most part its fun - but it seems to be a match of extremes: either strong win or strong loss. I'm not one to rage-quit and will stick it out against a team; but getting dropped into a losing team seems much more punishing. I will reserve judgment until the week is over to see if loot drops have improved. My personal preference is still Control.

      • Had a couple of good matches and a couple of bad anyone showing red marked as bad connection. When those occurred it was obviously foreign teams based on tags and clan names. The real kicker was a match started as 1 vs 6 there should be no possible way a match which is 6 v 6 should begin like that matchmaking at its finest.

        • I played solo for 2 hours, was dropped into games for the majority of them. 50/50 W/L. Lag was present most of the time for sure. I love when after a game finishes the red bars are magically green again.

        • Played mostly with a team. The lag was completely unpredictable from one match to the next. Some matches were ok, some were sprinkled with red bars. People sometimes took no damage, sometimes it seemed they had about double health. One was so bad we all saw things that made us just say "WTF". There was a fire team of 3 in the opposite team. Any time one of us got close to one of them, we'd see some really funky glitches. They teleported more than taken thralls. One of my team mates got lagged out of the game when he got close to them (4th horseman range), got 3 codes when he got booted. One picked up the spark, a team mate killed him, he got the credit for the kill and it showed on our screen that he had killed them. Then I saw him with the same spark and still running a few seconds later. So I killed him, got the credit for the kill and everything. Then a different team mate killed him , with the same spark, yet again. All 3 kills were in different spots.

          • I have liked Rift as a IB play mode so far. I have played in teams tho. We'll see how I do solo or in smaller groups. When we won it was cause the people on the opposite team had no clue how to play an objective. its a pretty simple game. Get the spark, or at least keep the enemy from getting it. Dunk or keep the enemy from dunking. It couldn't be simpler. I'd love to see rift as a dedicated IB play mode. In fact back when clash first appeared in IB I said "Here is an idea - make the play mode RANDOM too ! 6 v 6 - everyone is going down... Then the announcement Iron banner >Control< or >Clash< or >Rift< or even >RUMBLE< !!! etc Random playlists would make this hectic and fun IMO.

          • Basically half team spawn traps while the other camps on heavy and then takes rift. Last night I joined in to several mid game or end games and won 2 matches. Soloing with other solos suck.

            Played about 20 matches, won about half, played mostly with a team of 4 or 5. Only ran into lag bad enough to change the outcome 3 times. And it was a particular red bar that grabbed the spark over and over and took no damage from anyone on my team. We went to orbit after the third match and it was better. Overall I like it! Exciting fun close matches, love the teamwork aspect of rift.
