Might as well get my money's worth. Thought there would be more than what the beta gave since it was supposed to be a server stresser. But no, I should have waited for reviews. Now this is what I have to play until Master Chief Collection comes. But either way yeah, i think i have the right to talk about what I paid for. 


No, just get Shadow of Mordor.


That game is tempting me to get a Gamefly account.

Playlist is a joke. Saw a stream of a level 2 hunter still doing well against level 28s and shit. Totally broken.

Which is ironic. Regular crucible, not balanced enough. Iron Banner, too balanced. This game's fails just never end lol



You know you can share your guns between characters? That is to say a hunter could have an exotic gun, and also some legendary and exotic armour if it is for that class. I'm hunter myself but have decrypted exotic armour and legendary for my future Warlock class that my hunter can't use. That's what the vault is used for .

Yes, you can share your equipment, but you have to still actually be the appropriate level to equip it. A level 2 can't equip legendaries or exotics. Funny how the people trying to justify the game's shortcomings seem to be the ones who know the least about it.

 

Also just saw two more vids demonstrating how Iron Banner is broken. Level 4 Warlock completely destroying a team of 28s and shit (??? to him) with the first auto rifle you get in the game. For reference he was hitting for 28 damage per crit. The second vid was another guy demonstrating how the iron banner damage calculator is fucked. He took a level 26 hunter with a rare (blue) auto rifle (the silver hushwind) into iron banner. He hit for 24 damage per crit. He then took it into regular control. Still 24 damage per crit. Then he transfered the weapon to a level 28 titan. Same results, except sometimes he only hit for 23 damage per crit.

 

So not just does Iron Banner not work as advertised, it may actually buff lower level players. Way to go Bungie. Yet another thing you fucked up. I'm starting to wonder if they can get anything right anymore

lol try again. What glitch did you find to put legendary and exotic armor and weapons on a lvl 2?

I didn't say level 2 could use exotic , just that they can share armour and guns. I was saying that lower level people can have guns that are better than there first play through as well as armour .

No, they can't lol when you start off a new character you have to play with the low level weapons and armors they give you until you're high enough to use uncommons, rares, legendaries and exotics. This guy was using a start-up weapon from lvl 2 progression.

Yes they can share armour and guns once they reach appropriate level, I was giving an example of a lower level person not a level 2 person. The lower level people can use armour or guns once they reach the level on a second character, but they've had all that time from theit first character to find and decrypt those items which will be ready and waiting for them.

That's what I just said. You tried to quote Angelus who was saying a lvl 2 was beating teams of 28s. If you're not talking about level 2's then there's no point quoting him.

The guy is confused. At this point he's essentially saying low level players can use better equipment when they reach higher levels. Ya.....no shit Sherlock lol

Well that's lame. I only did a few games of Iron Banner for my 25 K/D spread (not ratio as ethomaz was talking earlier) bounty and it was better than Crucible but still an unbalanced mess. I can kind of understand how badly the PVE was borked considering the development cycle and issues you read about, and clear monetization tactics from Activision, but I was sure the game would ship with a balanced and competent MP. It's Bungie. I guess the people who left really were pivotal in the Halo franchise.
