Iron Banner doesn't feel special anymore. Their is nothing that makes it stand out. It doesn't feel like it is part of the Crucible end game like it used too be in D1. It feels like it is just thrown together as an afterthought too be honest. I think 3 things need to change in the Iron Banner in Season 5.
1. We need better weapons and armor to chase. Connected to the Iron Lords lore. I would be okay if they just went back and redid ALL of the D1 Vanilla armor and weapons and put them in over the stuff that we had in Season 4. Felwinter's Lie anyone? Jolder's Hammer? That classic looking armor... Gosh I wouldn't be able to stop playing. lol.
2. They need to take out that stupid Power Play Lockdown rule. It's just nothing special and it tends to make a LOT of games one sided.
3. The Crucible maps themselves need fixing. Basically what I'm saying is we are playing a LOT of 6 vs. 6 in maps that were made for 4 vs. 4. The way I see it in Season 5 Bungie DESPERATELY needs to put about 5 maps into rotation that have plenty of open space with basically NO COVER that would be PERFECT for Sniping, Scout Rifling, and Pulse Rifling. Every map seems just a little claustrophobic and every match seems a little too chaotic. Tired of instances of spawning in front of enemies or sometimes even having enemies spawn in front of me. (I apologize to those I have taken advantage of.) It shouldn't happen and Bungie can easily fix this by adding some space to breath in the Crucible. (And make the Iron Banner playlist have mostly just these new maps.)
But yeah those are my ideas. Let me know if you agree.
God Bless,
