Junior and I had a blast playing a few games of Iron Banner last night and tonight. Old Fire Thief joined us for a couple games tonight.

I'm really impressed by how close and competitive the games were. Every game had edge-of-your-seat moments with leads changing often, and it felt like the zone advantage mechanic really mattered. Almost every game was decided by less than 10 points, and more than a few were decided by less than 5.

I imagine the credit goes to the skill-based matchmaking system. Whatever the case, we're enjoying it!

I'm also pretty happy with the token system and the fact that you can purchase items directly (like that there hand cannon... I can't resist them). I initially thought, "oh wow - 60 tokens! That's going to take forever". Nope - didn't take long at all.

Yeah, the direct buy stuff feels nice. Right now though I need every token I can get for Engrams. Aside from the Raids and Iron Banner, I did a few Adventures on Titan so I could buy a full set of Lost Pacific gear which I’ve been slowly Masterworking and converting into Heavy armor. I like the set for its unique look. It’s got armored pieces along with some softer spacesuit type materials.
