Also, the ornaments grind is set really well I think. I've got 2 so far but the other's will take some time as they are related to wins, grenades, melee, etc. And the upgrade to the armour looks a significantly better than standard armour. I like the fact its a struggle to get all armour, weapons and challenges in the week. Makes you want to play it but also incentive to come back for the next Iron Banner. Via the FG App

Ah okay, got you now. Slight miscommunication then but no biggie. They shouldn't have mentioned the reskin initially. Aside from that, it would be good to know about the War Map more. Personally, id they offered a War Map pack expansion, I'd buy it. There's so much more versatility in gameplay and teamwork in that mode. Oh, and @tronic44 glad the Zombie map is fun. How different to the main game one is it? Its one area quite a few of us don't try enough, myself included. Let's try again next week for a bash on the original one. Via the FG App

Geniunely don't get the reskin issue. I think this is a wider thought process we're all developing (same said of Destiny). All games have variations of same said 'things'. I don't think they have to say its a reskin. It actually takes a significant amount of time to create something completely new. But then they have no guarantee it will work. Tried and tested works and it's efficient. Via the FG App

LOL. I didn't make categories for quizzes so just done that now. Should be good to go!

Was it a good map in AW? If so, it could be a good call couldn't it? I mean most maps in most franchises are re-skins of the 3 lane principles. If its a shit map then you can see why they'd say its lazy. Via the FG App

Thanks mate, well that's not a good start is it! I'll have a look as soon as I can. Via the FG App

I have no idea what you just said btw. However, the banning thing isn't a major problem from what we experience. I find they will be saying stuff in a strong way to ensure people get the picture and stay away from trolling.....@Diddums Then again I've noticed@LordBaguette is just as bad. Back to the changes, has anyone felt the major change to Fucking Hot Healing Chick! and Junkrat at all? We still played well 3 nights ago with@SyntaxMonstr still pulling solid plays with her. Via the FG App

Oh,@mikepjbell mentioned to me last night that it may be a good idea for the champions to think of a quiz to put together on their game? Via the FG App

I gotta disagree. Most here have enjoyed our best Destiny PvP experiences on Control (usually when Iron Banner is on). It is a variant, but having a mix of objective and kills based model works for this game because of the speed of it imo. What modes did you like in D1? Via the FG App

Honestly, last night the few games we played was superb. 4 stack@Diddums@mikepjbell@Rico was fantastic. They are close games to the last minute but we all felt in control and attacked together on certain points to keep hold of the game. One late game was with Rico and a real tough one losing for most of the game but our team stacked supers at the right time to take all control points and swing the game. I'll put up a few results tonight but its been a refreshing change for sure. Via the FG App

Some maps are but others will work the opposite way and be far too crowded for 6v6. What they need is a mix. Yeah, that might be asking abit much but I'd go for less maps if we can have both modes. The supers change and sprinting is great. You'll find that the speed should make the maps feel tighter anyway because you can get to control points much quicker. The little hint in TWAB about weapon slots under review is hopefully promising. No matter what they do to buff Snipers and Fusions, it just won't matter as it won't be better than what's already available with heavy slot working the way it is now. Via the FG App

I found something completely random that's been added to the site - Quizzes! This is something is completely new and open for trial on here. We'll learn about it as we use it but you'll see it in the burger menu on browser or at the top menu panel. Anybody can create a quiz for people to have a go on them whilst they're browsing FG. There is apparently Leaderboards as well for everyone after you have completed one. Feel free to ad a quiz or tell us any thoughts about it here on what we should do with it. Hopefully will add abit more different fun!

Glad you agree and disagree with me

I'll play whenever we organise something. Its a pick up and play game for me mostly so if someone sorts an hour or two on it one night, happy to jump on.

Let us know how it goes. Is it in the main game permanently from today?

Glad it went well. I think you can easily forget the basics of holding 2 control points all the time rather than going for the third one. The map on the Dreadnought is a prime example, hold A and B as they have to come over the big void to B which you can cover pretty easily, as well as the covering A from a distance on the left. One of the Ornament challenges is 25 wins so hoping to get some more tonight.

I think we need a better ranking system. It's one of those things you can easily take for granted but seems to be popular everywhere I else I see them. I'm opening up to you all to understand what you'd like to see. An example of one i've put below so you get the jist. We have the ability to really bespoke on it, we would just need some decent graphics to go with them. Thoughts people?

How's the server going? I'd like to get this as one of the first games on PC. Also, should think about something similar to Minecraft and set some things to work on together in a separate thread.

Honestly, I totally get that most of this should've been in the game from the start and that's a view I 100% agree with. But it ain't going to change where the game is right now, so rather than keep focusing on what we should be getting i'm trying to look at these updates on their own and make an opinion on whether or not its a worthwhile game to play without comparison. January (recently just received) My view so far is that whilst it isn't gamebreaking, it really has added some depth to the regular events, especially Iron Banner. The Armour Masterworks is something that most people were wanting and is as close to the 'God Roll' solution as you will find now that you can re-roll stats of each armour. The Raid perks from what I've read so far are extremely advantageous in the raid now and a great addition to help teams get through it but also to re-think their gameplay as some stats are linked to which gunslot you use regularly. They could've added perks to benefit other activities (i've banged on about this since people wanted raid perks) as then you could see more use in them. A really good and solid improvement (for a change). February This feels like not much of an update to the actual in-game enhancements as most of the updates are from the web development team working with the companion app. I can't knock those changes and the only reason why these are coming and are the main focus is because the updates are done by a different development team. You can see they've added some unique loot to Nightfall, which is great - it needs to be all strike specific loot imo. I think as February looks less full of game updates, they added it in with that asterisk because they probably predicted some backlash about how Feb would be received. March 6v6 Iron Banner. This makes me really happy. One of the key parts we all missed from D1. Here's hoping they extend to other game modes and not keep it time-restricted. The larger community was hoping for the sandbox in February. I really don't know what to make of it really - whatever happens, it feels like people will argue that whetever they've done has broken the game due to what's already happened. Strikes will come more relevant in this update with the modifiers but if unique rewards haven't come in Feb they must come with this update in March for all strikes. Nightfall challenge cards sounds decent. May It's now been confirmed DLC2 drops at the same time as this update, alongside the new Season 3. Crucible rankings and Private Matches are really needed to give Crucible a purpose. I think its still too vague to say if it will be a good update but as DLC will drop at the same time, this is possibly the perfect time for most people that want to come back to a shitload of changes and have a larger pool of stuff to grind. Also, we will get the 2nd raid lair so 3 raids to play by May. I really hope this game starts to deliver now. We all miss that one game to bring everyone together. Its still a solid shooter, maybe the break might give people the air they need to see this game turnaround. Just hope to God they deliver these succesfully AND give us more stuff to have fun with (they still haven't mentioned Crimson Days, hidden quest-style stuff to find and new co-op activities, all of which have been confirmed).

Thoughts everyone? Just to mention, the next DLC and Crimson Days event isn't mentioned on it currently. Via the FG App

I think this will send people into sweaty salty mode if this wrecks everything and anything in front of you. Via the FG App

Some smaller tweaks to the game that haven't been major discussion points: - XP throttling has been fixed and the XP needed to level up is now 120k not 160k - Loot cave exploit stopping you gain specific loot from Lost Sectors has been decreased from 10 mins to 5 mins. Via the FG App

Couldn't agree more Gaz. Here's another I just heard tonight. Via the FG App

Blackburn are surprisingly giving the fans something to cheer about - 18 games unbeaten in the league, 1 point off top spot. Hope we keep hold of Brad Dacks today. On other news, can't believe Arsenal think Giroud can't do a job. The guy scores great goals, just because he looks lazy doesn't mean he is! Via the FG App
