Post Mortem 5 Man Granade kill
# Jan 01 2016 at 12:11 PM Rating: Decent
My best moment was in the first Iron Banner in Taken King. I rushed to the first enemy Point on Pantheon. When I reached the point where they are sniping eachother there were all 6 enemys. I throwed my Poisen and Void Granade. Ofcourse the first Person shot me with his lovely shotgun :< but then I saw how 5 loveley snipers tryed to escape my beloved void granade but all 5 snipers died because of the slow from my poisen granade. It was hilarious :D
Don't bunch up around Heavy Ammo.

"Heavy Ammo inbound"

I'm nowhere near Heavy. What's the next best thing to getting heavy? Denying enemies their heavy.

Game on pantheon, running bladedance with firefly jasmin, and last word. Start the game off, run past 'A' around the corner to 'sniper corridore' get a quick colateral with firefly, watch get one more headshot kill. pick up the special run to B kill the guy capping it without getting hit. i see another so i back of a bit, he rushes me with a shotgun i get a quickscope headshot he eplodes. i back off to sniper alley again, dont see anyone so i push waterfall get a last word kill but the guy leaves me on really low. i throw my grenade it hits, i know the guy is now oneshot so i blink around the corner and get him with my last word. i start to regen and im about to have my super. so i begin to push their spawn knowing that im about to be able to bladedance. i crouch around a corner but someone sees me and gets some good shots off on me. i have to retreat, he chases. im just waiting for screen to say supercharged hoping this guy cant shoot. i see the words and immediately pop my super i turn on him get him another two round the corner i get with one shockwave i push C i see people everywhere on my radar so i crouch behind a rock. one runs in not knowing im in bladedance i get him but everyone else 3 others see me and begin to focus fire me. i kill one then my bladedance runs out. i get a quick body shot on one with my sniper and finish him with last word. now im really hurting as the other guy runs at me with a shotgun i melee him and my backstab procs from the front one shotting him! I get blinded (from the landfall) and hear a stormtrance activate im already really weak so i try for the no scope melee i land it and we traded and that was the end of my reign of terror...

A group of friends and I go into Iron banner. We meet a fireteam of lagger ( all red bars ). That was the day I rushed to Lvl up my warlock and I threw on all my engrams onto him . Manage to get to 278 light, go into iron banner against laggers. Some how I managed to get 2 10 kill streaks and a 21.0 K/D ratio. ( Sorry for the bad spelling )

Last minute Rank 5 Iron Banner
# Dec 31 2015 at 12:45 AM Rating: Decent
Was about to finish leveling my third character to level 5 in Iron Banner and had been doing trials not realizing how close it was to IB reset - this was the last game I would fit in this Iron banner. Was at the last stretch of rank 4, just needed to finish the bounty with a 10 kill streak and top score to push me over. Had already finished everything else for that bounty and I'm playing... cautiously, I'm camping a stairwell with a shotgun.

Get a rapid double down at the top of my steps, a third comes in a bit late for the triple but leaves me low as I see a fourth coming from my right. Staring at my grenade cooldown waiting so I might pop my Stormtrance to return my health. Just as the enemy is about to round the corner my grenade is ready. I jump around the corner and slam my Landfall on them then fry another following him up to the hall that was once under my control. "GRIZZ W GREEN is on a 5-kill streak!" is announced, I'm halfway there. Two more have spawn behind the bus in front of me, the first is down before having a chance to turn on me, the second could not escape and dissipates into a blue pulse of energy in an empty attempt to jump towards me. My kill streak at 7 now I'm, nearly there. I continue around the bus and see those three I need but-- from my right I hear it. From my safe stair castle that I did camp, the third of my streak came back to hunt me down. I heard his nova bomb leave his palms and before I could (Ionic) blink, I was just another purple particle left in his Vortex. A Golden Gun rings off to answer me from the last three, but I'm already gone.

I didn't finish my bounty, and we didn't win the game. But I was sitting on the edge of my seat racing the clock. Post game lobby and back to orbit-- no more Iron Banner. Heroic does not bind itself to victory, and I've held onto that bounty until I get my chance finish it. The PS4 Exclusives have been a dagger in my side, so here goes!

Happy New Year!

I don't have anything from the last Iron Banner; However, this just happened to me today. (I'm pretty bad at Crucible, btw.)

EDIT: Forgot to add a story...
I lived to tell the tale of the Sunbreaker whose light was extinguished by my trusty Jabberhäkke and a well-timed jump.

So I decided one day to play Iron Banner just to level up and see what loot i can get, but I so wrong by the end of the game. It ended up with me getting 23 kills and 3 deaths. Getting an ace with a single fist of havoc, shutting down a sunbreaker (pre nerf) with a uncommon scout rifle, and my reward for all this was not a useless uncommon engram but nothing! The most effort I have ever put into single iron banner game in my life rewards me with nothing. Thank you destiny loot system.
Sneaking Heavy from the Enemy
# Dec 30 2015 at 2:22 AM Rating: Decent
Heavy ammo was coming during the last IB, which was Clash instead of the usual Control. I was more focused on completing the heavy weapon kill bounty than the match itself. For some silly reason, I decided I would try to sneak the enemy Heavy before they could pick it up. I hid behind a rock, while I was partially safe from enemy fire, although I think it was because the enemy team was too focused on the ammo. Suddenly, I picked it up and managed to score a nice Triple down before being downed myself. That sucked, but I felt good knowing I denied the enemy team their ammo.

I've never actually played Destiny, as I've been caught up in other games, so I can't really give you a story about the Iron Banner.
I can't believe what I'm seeing!
# Dec 29 2015 at 5:29 AM Rating: Decent
We're 2000 points down in Iron Banner control, and Shaxx is yelling at us that the enemy is about to declare victory. Playing my Defender Titan, I hear the distance 'Clang' of an enemy Sunbro. My teammates fall back, but I grit my teeth and saddle up- this Sunbro is going down. I see him across the courtyard in Bannerfall and hide behind the tree while I wait for him to close in. A warlock falls to my Hawksaw while I wait, and then a Hunter, and then another hunter. The Titan closes in but I leap up and make use of my Empyrean Belicose to float in the air momentarily, giving me enough time to throw my supressor grenade and hit the Titan square in the face. He loses his sunbro powers and returns to human form, easy fodder for my Hawksaw. Another Warlock enters the fray and quickly falls and then another Titan dies to a my shotgun, with Shax losing his mind. He can't believe what he is seeing, and neither can I. Iron Banner won. Now do it again...
Heroic moment turned hilarious

The last Iron Banner before TTK dropped I was playing my warlock and stumbled upon 4 out of 6 of the opposing team members guarding a cap point. My nova bomb was ready and I was poised to have my team sing battle hymns in my honor. My nova bomb went off on something above my head and found myself team shot by primaries after a collective "did that just happen?!"

no video as I was on PS3 at the time.
Enemy team: Don't walk in groups.

Map: Vertigo

It was back in the first IB of TTK. A few teammates and me went to cap B as it was neutral still. (Un)fortunately,the other team had the same idea. 5 players came through the middle! Probably my best incendiary grenade killed 3 and primed the rest. From there it was easy pickings and I earned myself a beautiful Slayer.

Not my most sensational moment but the only one I could think of with such little time.

PS: Shaxx loved it too!

Iron Banner experience
# Dec 28 2015 at 12:30 PM Rating: Decent
As I am not the greatest destiny player, the old Iron Banner daily 10 kill streak bounty used to be a chore. I was playing out of my gourd one game, and quickly hit 7 kills, followed closely by two more. Being at 9 kills, my heart was racing. As I snuck around the edge of the map, being careful not to let any elusive foes get at my backside, I slipped off the edge of the map, and not even my hunter double jump was enough to plant my feet back on firm ground. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, my 10 kill bounty was not complete for the remainder of the glorious Iron Banner Tournament...

Shutting down a Titan using the Hammer of Sol with 3 headshots of Shadowshot is simply priceless! :D
Self-Sacrifice for the Win
# Dec 27 2015 at 7:43 PM Rating: Decent
On Anomaly, I was playing as a Striker Titan and we were losing by a couple kills. I had my Super ready and saw an enemy Titan bubble. So, I rush forward and use my Super inside the bubble. I died, but I took out 4 or 5 enemy players in the process and gained enough points for my team to take the lead. With so much of the opposing team dead my teammates were able to capture other control points, secure the lead, and win the game.
Heroic moment
# Dec 27 2015 at 3:56 AM Rating: Decent
One time in IB, I was using gunslinger and popped my super. I killed 2 people and my last shot triggered combustion near another enemy and killed them both. I FELT Godly and my friends who I was playing with reacted in a shocking way.
