Hey what's up everyone? I thought I'd post this to show the Destiny community my thoughts on Iron Banner Clash...I personally enjoy playing Clash because it eliminates the problem of those randoms who never play the objective (control the zones) and allows solo players to actually win games. Hopefully, the Iron Banner will incorporate all game modes one day, but for now, I really don't mind Clash. What are your thoughts? Please let me know below and thanks for checking out my video!

2 Replieslot of comments about camping and people not engaging.... i've seen the opposite for the most part, a lot of chargers with shotguns & guys thinking they know how to run blink ;) Blind Watch is the only map i've run into so far that completely sucks. people just sit inside the doors by B with shotguns, camping in the corners, biggest wuss move i've seen. I usually wait for super or heavy then clear them out, but they always just push right back in because it's all they know how to do, it's an extremely boring map.

4 RepliesClash is better especially when you have randoms in your team. If they suck you don't have to worry about getting too far behind because letters in control multiply kills points. Eventually they will quit and you and the other 3-4 people can win even if your one or 2ppl short. In control if u loose people ur screwed bc you can't keep up with the letters

1 Replymixing it up is good.... but you get drop-outs either way. i'd like to see rift thrown in the mix as well. rift, clash and control alternating. the only thing is the "usual" iron banner crowd likes to grab a node then move around very little to defending that node. in clash it's a blink shotgun fest. i see more drop-outs in every match already. i enjoy running blink n' shotty, but the matches are losing a lot more players than in control from what i see.

6 Replies[quote]I personally enjoy playing Clash because it eliminates the problem of those randoms who never play the objective (control the zones) and allows solo players to actually win games.[/quote] Never had a problem winning a game in all the other IB that I've played in. Clash is horrible for IB. Just mindlessly running around killing without an objective. Atleast with control you would mindlessly run around killing with an objective meaning more strategy would be involved. So how is having a mode that requires less strategy and more mindlessness more enjoyable?

I prefer control because it gives subpar players a purpose. Cap the points and stay out of the line of fire.

I personally prefer control over clash for iron banner. Gives the matches more meaning to me. And like others have said, it helps the teams move around the map. Camping is prevalent in either game mode so. I do like that they have switched it up though. I would not like to see rift IB though.

1 ReplyLet me just say that IB Clash on Cathedral of Dusk is [i]the[/i] worst game-type I've experienced. I just went .47... I [i]never[/i] go that low on my Titan.

i wouldn't mind seeing more playlists. clash is pretty good. id like to see a rift iron banner.

Idgaf

I will say this, when it was control almost every game was extremely one sided. In clash, almost every game I've played so far has been much closer.
-
Love the clash.
-
so much fun now! played iron banner a lot in year 1 and most of the matches were lost because players forgot the objectives, but now I win most matches. the iron banner bounty for 2500 points is a bit steep for me, but whatever.
-
My experience so far, with one day behind us, has been good. Most of the games are a lot closer, and many were won/lost in the last minute or two.
-
It's better because if you don't have a team of friends, you don't have to worry about people who are too thick to play or defend the objective. It's worse, because there's more camping (depending on the map) and people seem to be afraid to engage (quite boring and slow tbh).

1 ReplyI've seen a lot of campfires get you s'mores and graham crackers..lol
-
Nope. I want an objective. Mindless killing and camping? No thanks
-
It's a nice a change. I don't want it to stay clash forever but I don't want it to be control forever either. It is very fun to just kill and not worry about objective.
-
Both have pros and cons, so either is fine by me.
-
Nope - I dont mind other game types, but I wish they would key in objetive playlists. Clash is not my thing. So far I have either been on a team that dominated or been on a team being dominated. The games are not fun when that happens. I like close games, or even comback games - I have not seen this at all this time. Also Bungie really needs to work on the balance of it. I am at 297 Light, not max but definitly compeitive. This morning, the team I was on was all 280 to 299 against a team of 311 to 317 we were distroyed. I think it was 1500 to 10000 at the end of the game. Rather than Break up the teams, we went 3 more games before I just backed out of it. Those teams should have have been mixed better.

Played a couple games last night of IB. Know what I ran into? Campers, campers, campers. They'd team up at the back of the map and snipe anybody who came at them. Sniping and camping. That's what Iron Banner has turned into? I'm not ok with that. At least Control kept people mobile. I have seriously never been so frustrated by sniping before. Of course, I got stuck playing maps like Memento, Widow's Court and the god awful Sector 618 or whatever the heck it is. Idk definitely wasn't as fun as I wanted it to be.

3 RepliesMy thoughts? Hate it. Its a case of hopping out of the frying pan and straight into the fire. I play as a solo player. So I've just traded the problem of team mates that dont' play the objectives for team mates that don't "get" that Clash is about zone control and team-shooting. So I wind up in matches agaisnt full fire teams that collapse back into a corner of the map, and snipe or team-shoot all the avenues of approach.... ...while my team of randoms run around as singles or pairs, and get handed their asses. ...which leads to me getting handed my ass, because I'm either always outnumbered, or running into people with charged supers. At one point, I died four times in a row and the people who killed me never fired a shot.

3 RepliesYou almost need to find a fire team to enjoy IB Clash...

Here are my thoughts...I posted this last week. There were a few posts out on this site where people who solo IB said they would enjoy clash better than control because randoms didnt play control right. I SAID...NO...clash will absolutely suck in IB when facing fire teams full of 4 or more. If you are on a random team facing a fireteam...You might as well sit down..bacause fireteams are Mostly camping with two or more snipers. Your unorganized team will just run randomly up to them and get quadruple teamed. AT Least in control...you forced fireteams to lose their strategy. They all think all you have to do is cap B and sit on B and C or B and A...but how many times have you played with randoms and they do something that seemed stupid but turned out to mess up the strategy of a fireteam..Then all of a sudden the fireteam becomes unorganized and you beat them. I personally love when I played control with randoms and mess up the organization of fireteams for the win. Control is better for solo IB players...OH and for those of you talking about RIFT should come to IB...LOL...forget about it...You will get -blam!- by Fireteams if you plan on soloing IB with Randoms.
