Nothing impressive here, mainly a comeback from about 2k points behind on Shores of Time so far.
Iron Banner Collateral/More
# Dec 26 2015 at 10:48 PM Rating: Decent
This happened on the first iron banner of the new year 2, first match of the night I think, on my birthday Oct 13th, I went in with my stillpiercer and my pals in Exodus Blue, after running in the capture C, and after a brief firefight with 2 rushers, I pulled off my first ever unexpected collateral on their domes, after that I went on a 6 kill streak with the stillpiercer and we cleaned up that game, which was surprising because I was only semi-average with sniper rifles at the time, so the sudden skill increase blew my mind. I vaguely remember my friend pulling off an insane cross map nova bomb that killed 2 other players, and I'm not sure if we mercy ruled them. It was a great birthday for me and that just made it a bit more special for me that I got my first collateral on it. Good luck to everyone else :)

Best Ending to an Iron Banner Match
# Dec 26 2015 at 6:50 PM Rating: Decent
So there I was, one Iron Banner match win from obtaining Rank 5. It was Clash and the other team was less than 300 points away from winning the game while we were lagging behind with about 1000 points needed to win. Three of us in the fireteam were Gunslingers, but only one of us had our supers ready. He activated his super and we fell in line behind him to take those orbs. Boom, boom, boom, he melts three guys with his super and the next gunslinger is ready to activate. He activates his super and takes down another three. We can win this, I just need to get a few hundred points worth of kills and we can still pass them before they do. I activate my super and keep the train going. Three shots go out and three kills are obtained and push us over the maximum point limit and solidifying the win. The game ends, and we rejoice at the awesome gunslinger train to win the game. I could not think of a better way to reach Rank 5 and couldn't believe the epic comeback that we were able to pull off!
That moment when your super(mid air)makes u fell off the map
# Dec 25 2015 at 10:54 PM Rating: Decent
So mine its pretty short but makes my laugh everytime i remember. Was on my Stormcaller playing Control on Vertigo with some friends and the game was pretty close, one on the other team start to capture C flag and i went to try to stop it and while i was getting close i realise that the whole team was going to the flag and would provably going to win if they all capture it; so i jump in anyway and use my super(landfall) and deny the capture killing everyone and winning the game but procede to fell outside the map cause i kept going in the air....of course a couple of my teamates that were coming behind me start T-baging me while we laugh until the rewards screen.
Destiny's unfair loot system
# Dec 24 2015 at 11:26 AM Rating: Decent
So I'm not the best PvP player, but I do have my better runs. This match was one of those good runs, my team won and I took second overall, but I rage quit stopped playing, right after the loot rewards were given. The guy who took last place had a light level of 290, went 5 and 15 with a KD of .33, and got a 312 IRON SHELL!!! Like What. (Picture wouldn't post so I tweeted it at you

Map: Vertigo
There i was as my stormtrance warlock, my team had been having a few bad games but none of us quit, we knew this was the one. The score was 9875 to 9110 my super had just charged and I was ready to go. I swooped around a corner and jumped to get above the two tangos, I popped my super and since I had landfall I killed them both. Went on to kill 5 more getting a phantom medal and a 7th column medal racking up a total of 9995. With only needing 5 points to win we all clinched our buttcheeks hoping to get a kill, but like a whirlwind of fury they picked up two kills and won. I was speechless for the next 30 seconds, after I came out of shock I immediately shut down my ps3 and took a minute to think about life, before turning it back on and getting back to enjoying time with friends.
My Best Moment in IB

Map: Shores of Time

Blueberry has flipped spawn by capturing A, enemies spawn C side. I'm at B, holding it down. I know A has been captured by us but I don't know that enemies have spawned C side. Heavy ammo is inbound, I have a super.

I sprint down to B heavy and wait, 3 opposing guardians rush me from C after capturing it. I have a sniper and Vision of Confluence (This is TDB era).

I crouch behind the heavy and hope they don't see me, radar lights up that they're there. Pop my super. I think I have fist of panic, and my beautiful Ward of Dawn with Blessings is popped. In my confusion I don't know what to do. I get Nova Bombed. I laugh. I cry. I spawn at A and three minutes later I get my medallion. :)

Have a Jolly Holiday, everyone!
Iron Banner
# Dec 23 2015 at 1:01 PM Rating: Decent
I apologize if the following isn't very "heroic". I am no performer of great feats nor comedian that entertains the masses. But what proceeds is my legend, my tale. My most memorable Iron Banner experience to date.

In the Tower, there echoes a legend. A legend held dearly by the Iron Lords that tells of a Guardian. A Guardian who, done with the battles he once waged across time, embarked on a journey. A secret and personal journey.

A journey in search of a beloved and invaluable weapon. A weapon with whom he parted ways with after a certain expansion made that weapon unserviceable.

Timur's Lash. To many it was simply just "another hand cannon".
There were better options people would say. Nobody wants a max-impact hand cannon. When fighting other Guardians you want The Last Word, Thorn, or Hawkmoon. If you were fighting back the Darkness, Fatebringer would still guide you through many battles even though it too was unserviceable in high-end content during the days of The Dark Below.

But of those weapons I had none. No Thorn to shove in other's sides, no Hawkmoon. The gold details of The Last Word shined as dull bronze to my eyes. My only friend was Timur's Lash, and Timur's Lash was all I needed. But as mentioned, the newest expansion had made that weapon unserviceable. I tried many months to move on, but I couldn't. I couldn't leave my friend behind, but I couldn't stay behind with my friend.

So I began my journey through the Iron Banner and down the path of RNG. Lord Saladin had not brought a renewed Timur's Lash for me to purchase, but whispered that I might earn one through perseverance in the heat of the Crucible. Long were my nights and dark were my days. Timur's Lash was nowhere to be found through my endless struggles in the Iron Banner. Through Rank 3, through Rank 4, nothing.

And so arrived dawn of the final day. The Monday before reset. I set aside even more time that day to pursue that which I desired. If the past week meant anything, I would certainly need that time.

I was approaching Rank 5, a mere game away from it. It didn't matter, I thought, but a win certainly couldn't hurt my chances to receive a renewed Timur's Lash. And so I fought. I fought hard. By luck or by skill I know not, but I won. I hit Rank 5, but I didn't care. I didn't care about anything, save one detail: at the side of my screen, there it was. "TravelerHD found Timur's Lash".

My journey had ended. I found my friend.

There was one time i accidentally went into a Iron Banner match with my raid setup and after i realized i just went with the flow and to clutch out a victory at the very end i dropped a weapons of light bubble on bravo on the dusk shrine map and the team killed 2 stormtrances AND a sunbreaker titan all in super mode to make a comeback victory when they only needed 3 kills when we needed 10.
The elusive 10 kill streak
# Dec 22 2015 at 11:26 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...

I remember on the last iron banner, we were losing by 4 kills. The enemy team was going to capture B. So I sent a granade from my titan + a headshot with firefly, and there it was, 5 kills for the team. And a Win that I Dony Have Time To Explain how we got

Late during the last Iron Banner I was trying to help some friends finish bounties and get to reward tiers. We needed to win one more match but lost two in a row. Then, we had this game on Sector 618. I went on a tear, including a Slayer Stormtrance, and then closed it out when a kill from either team meant victory. It felt great to help my friends and snatch victory from the jaw of defeat. The video starts right before I fire off the key Stormtrance:

The first time I shut down a super with a suppression grenade as Titan was pretty awesome.

There was this one game that my team was 2 kills behind and needed 3 kills to win. I find 2 peeps and try to take them in with Zhalo Supercell when a third came. After the msg ran out, all were low health and I pulled out my sniper. I shot one quickly and got ready to run when I noticed that his body exploded. Firefly activated since I had apparently gotten a head shot, and when he blew up he took the other 2 people, giving us the win.

The coolest thing in iron banner that happened to me is when I nearly got an unbroken in the dark below days. another is when I went into this lfg group to play iron banner, and it felt like I was in some kind of competitive tournament with a ton of call outs and stuff, and who has their super. it was fun
