I had a blast playing Iron Banner tonight. Something about the 6v6 format with the improved Crucible balancing and the slower respawns really worked well! We had a bunch of DBOers playing tonight so I though, eh, why not see if any of them had any fun recordings or anecdotes.
This week: Post any pictures or stores you’d like to share from this new Destiny 2 version of Iron Banner.
Of course, the standard rules apply:
- Don’t worry too much about nailing a topic exactly. Go with your gut and give us something cool to see!
- Want to just toss in something fitting with no context or explanation? That’s perfectly fine!
- Want to describe your video or image, or link it up with a story of why you took it or what inspired it? That’d be awesome!
- This is totally meant to be a DBO community driven event, so if you have a suggestion for a theme or topic toss it a reply and we’ll put it on a running list and get to it in short order.
Next Week? How about we head back to Dame117’s suggestion list and mix “botanical” with “off the beaten path” in what I hope is a fun way for everyone. Hint: There’s a bunch of living things on Destiny’s worlds. Be ready to find them!
For now though: Iron Banner. I’d like to start with a piece of armor Titans should think about not leaving home without: ACD/0 Feedback Fence.
These arms forged from crashed Warsats can help you turn a single kill into a triple kill:
They can help you pull an extra kill from an unwinnable battle:
Or, they can just make your opponent look plain silly:

Overall we went 8 wins 8 losses and 4 of those wins were mercied so pretty good night!
We got dominated by a fair amount of acrstriders, but this guy realized when he was in way over his head. Too bad it didn't save him.
I don't know how they didn't notice me, they got some pot shots off on me but that didn't stop me from wrecking them over and over again!
The most depressing thing in a game is to realize you are losing to a team that has THIS guy.

I didn't grab many clips last night - just one, actually.
We had a few games that went like this - we didn't play well enough to mercy them, but it was still a rout. Regardless, this is a fine way for a game to end.

Day 2:
First, while it’s kinda hard to see who I killed, I think I wiped 83.333333% of their team. Watch their last guy get killed right after I do...
Next, have you ever called out “Golden Gun!” and wished the guy who activate it would deactivate it? Well... I got the next best thing!
More to come as this 6v6 situation developed!

Nevin was talking about doing this last night. Sounded like fun then - looks like fun here!

The 4:40 mark ;)
As someone who mans a striker titan, that would be absolutely infuriating :)
Love it!

Though I agree with Mac - that would be super-infuriating on the other side. :)

I'll be making more videos of this, but when I'm not suppressing people and hitting them with shields, I'm (at least) doubling my melee range with Knockout!

I think this is what it must have felt like to be a Destiny 1 Warlock. :)
You inspire me.

Meanwhile I'm stabbing huge knives into foes heads at no avail.

I always enjoy when the game throws in color commentary. Madden NFL were always the best at this. Best example, my buddy getting irate over the line "You can't let the other team intercept the ball because they could run it back for a touchdown...or worse."
WHAT'S WORSE THAN THAT MADDEN?
Anyway.
"It's not over until Shaxx...yep, nope, it's over."

Yeah, I've been getting annoyed at Saladin a lot lately.
