All I see are people whining about the crap choice of game mode for Iron Banana, but what I really want to know is, how's the lag?
I'm not sure I'll get around to playing IB this time. There isn't a whole lot in this one that interests me, but I would like to know how this new matchmaking system is working out.

For me the lag went up and down. There'd be matches where people were twitching all over the map (no animation) or stood facing a wall and suddenly you're dead from a shotgun blast to the back. Games where you couldn't pick the heavy or special. Games where I could pick the same heavy twice. A game where the opposition scored yet the spark stayed on their runner, so he slammed again. Games where people got dc'd left, right and center. But there were games that were fun. I wasn't a fan of rift at first (I still think it's a bad choice for IB) but now really enjoy it.

Lag seems just about the same, a lot of it and everywhere. My only issue with rift being iron banner this time around is that it only takes one red barring twat to get the spark and be almost invincible and the whole match is ruined. That one guy with 10000 more points than anyone else who always gets the spark and cannot be stopped for skipping around and taking no damage is at an even bigger advantage in this mode.
