Awful connection handling/matchmaking

Played a few games of crucible last night thinking I could have a bit of fun.. In each and every one, there was a person able to kill me from a distance or in a time they couldn't normally with that weapon (1 shotted by TLW, sniped by a hawkmoon, shotgunned from across a room, sniped long after I'd ran into cover, fusion rifled mid blink). Essentially, being killed when you are 100% certain that you couldn't have been killed that way (if the connection was stable and without latency. These just say to me that we aren't where we think we are in the host's game, be it lag smoothing or just simple latency, it's the only reason I will ever get a negative K/D. This is the reason I'm going to stop playing PVP, this is the reason the majority of my clan have already done so. We all have really good connections with a tiny amount of ping, and we constantly end up in games where there's at least one person who consistently has the drop on you, even if you fired first, with an outperforming weapon and hit every shot. It's a fantastic game, the PVP is really fun when we don't have this issue, but it's happening so much that it's putting us all off playing now. Destiny.. it's not us, it's you.

  • The rats are realising that by purposely manipulating their internet connection they can get the jump on honest players, who needs a lag switch when Activision force Bungie to use their PVP lag compensation software that is so easily flipped to your advantage by just playing youtube on your smartphone. This is why I'm on Borderlands again, PVE is the future of gaming. PVP is last gen shit.
