How to Win in Iron Banner (Destiny)

So I ran a few Iron Banner games last night after raiding and it seems that:

1) Gear really makes very little difference. There was a level 14 guy in our group who, while not great, was still doing okay and he certainly didn't hurt our team. TBH I expected to notice a bigger difference in character level and gear bonuses.

2) The way to win is to play as a team. 5 of us were all friends in a group, and so we split into two teams (one of 3 and one of 2), and just hoped the level 14 guy would see what we were doing. Then we ran those squads in groups and basically dominated. The key is teamwork.

Because time to kill is so much longer in Destiny than in a game like CoD or Battlefield, having numbers on your side is critical. For the xbox folks, it's a lot like Titan combat in titanfall. For those without Titanfall experience, you just know that you need to stay with a group to be successful.

The wrench in the works is supers (and, to a lesser extent, rockets), so you want to maximize heavy weapon ammo control, and try to identify enemies with supers active and do your best to evade those attacks.

If you have at least one buddy who you can play with, just try to stick together and you should both do fine.
