Once you access the Crucible from the map, you actually have to select the option that says "Iron Banner" when you pick what mode you're playing. Then it will start the matchmaking for an Iron Banner match. (The event is over, so it's currently unavailable.)

"Bad trip! BAD TRIP!"

It's a PvP event where there are no restrictions on your abilities based on your level. You go in with your raw stats stacked up against everyone else's. It's pretty intense.

I'm still upset about that. I like to imagine Bioware simply just ran out of resources to the point where they couldn't even create a single image of Tali's face, so they used a stock photo instead.

I bet a Team Plasma version of this would be far darker.

I'm still pissed about that. I remember hearing somewhere that there was supposed to be a final boss, but it was cut because of resource constraints.

Easily one of the best EVO finals I've seen for ANY game thus far.

I almost choked on my water! Nice one!

I've already EV trained it and am using it to battle in the Battle Maison...

Nope. Imaginative, whimsical, colorful action-platformers that encourage exploration are out.

While the thorn system is a decent addition to the action mix, in terms of the basic action, Freedom Wars falls short. The game's responsiveness is a little clunky, ally AI can be frustrating, minute aiming of guns can be a nightmare. Everything takes a little getting used to, which can be crippling for a game of the…
