Ridiculous lag in the crucible matches

I am experiencing lag and hit detection problems

4490

The crucible is running smoothly for me

1134

First of all let me start by saying it's probably not on my end, I don't have the best internet but I get pretty good speeds, and I play other games just fine. I am either experiencing terrible lag, or the hit detection is way off, all this started in the beta, I took all in stride, thinking well it's only a beta and this is the exact reason for the beta, to stress test their servers and iron out the kinks. But no, I am actually experiencing worse lag than with the beta, poor hit detection, it takes at least 5 headshots to kill anyone with the Scout rifles, the pulse rifles and hand cannons are all but useless for me, and the only usable weapon is the auto rifle, and I use over half a magazine to kill one person. Bungie what's going on? The crucible is all but unplayable. Is any body else experiencing this, or is it just me?

    If you play an old FPS, say Modern Warfare 3, and pick a mode that is not popular, you will experience the same. Why? A small pool of players and not dedicated servers. Latency matters. If you checked the numbers of how much time people spend in Crucible, you'll realize that this game dropped the amount of players in 6 months that it takes Call of Duty in two years. The problem is they made this game raid-centric. The Crucible is treated as an afterthought. You have a favorite weapon you grinded your butt off to master? It gets nerfed. You need Crucible marks to get gear? Takes three times as long as Vanguard marks to collect a similar amount. You want exotics? Legendary drops? Stick to PvE because you're more likely to find an unicorn that get something in PvP. I cut my time in the Crucible drastically. The rewards are not worth it, and now when I join, the lag makes the matches unplayable. It's now a chicken and egg thing. Some matches it seems like every gun is killing me with one shot. Other matches I'm untouchable. So what is it then?

    • I kill someone so were it pops up that I kill them but they still can run around and kill me and then 5 seconds later they die all of a sudden.

      • Came to comment due to experiences last night. I have NEVER seen it as bad as last night. Previously I had seen some lag and some questionable moments where I would scratch my head and think, "how did that guy just get me?" Last night, players actually WARPING, ridiculous hit detection, fusion rifle killing me from ridiculous range and mine being inconsistent (from being OP at distance to doing nothing). Also experienced what others have noticed. Shotgun/melee or just Shotgun, I die, then he dies. Also the amount of time it takes for the SCORE of the kill to come up was really laggy. Numerous times I was hammering a guy, someone takes the kill, I get nothing. My buddy was in chat/party/matches with me and was saying the SAME thing.

      • Their is sometimes an amount of misplaced shots. I think it's a similar problem to that of Counterstrike back in the good old days where rates would differentiate between players causing some people to seem to have much smaller hit box's. And it takes the game a second or two to figure out that that you hit them in the face rather than their big toe. Hence why they will suddenly die after seemingly killing you first. What's more concerning is the fact I think bungie knows of this problem and couldn't fix it so instead added a flipping postmortem medal so you don't get too frustrated by it lol.

      • Or how about when you shotgun a dude point blank, they survive, shotgun you back, you die and a second later they die from your first blast! Lol, classic.

        • Crucible just sucks. Once I get my void fusion I will never play crucible again. I only have 1 out of 10 games without lag. The team that wrote the code for crucible should be fired before they ruin Destiny 2 s crucible too.

          • This video is about COD, but Activision worked on Destiny too so the same principals apply. [url]http://youtu.be/y7CTGY16m3I[/url]

          • I understand that various devices across the globe run at different speeds, and that when connecting to a server, each will have different outcomes in how the game play is generated. However when a player in the Iron Banner is running into a wall constantly and refuses to die, then suddenly disappears to come back invincible capturing a zone, but come back just in time to gun down the entire team in an instant, then I have an issue. This has happen too many times to count, but my favorite frustrating and confusing moment comes from when a enemy player was in front of me as a Titan and about dead, slides into the wall, then suddenly becomes a 32 Warlock on the opposite of the room to shotgun me. I don't need to win a match each time to have fun, but it is overwhelmingly frustrating when I can even get a kill in without a swarm of laggers teleporting.

            • Ok I have just experienced the worst possible lag that I have ever had the misfortune to experience within a PvP game. It is absolutely appalling! To the point that I have quit out of sheer frustration from watching another player not only survive a point blank shot to the face with a shotgun but they then ran through a wall, somehow ended up all the way over the other side of the open space of the map in which we were fighting and then landed on top of me to kill me with their own shotgun. Bungie really need to take note of all the issues that their players are reporting and actually do something about it. At the minute they really don't seem to give a damn just so long as they carry on raking in money.

            • Half of my deaths in Rumbles are caused by lag. I'll melee someone and then two seconds later they'll melee me. We both die. I've had matches with people teleporting, being practically invincible (both ways, they couldn't kill me either) and no one being able to pick up Special ammo for 5 minutes straight.

            • Even with having The Last Word, PvP is still a nightmare sometimes. The hit detection is just absolutely horrible. I don't get much lag as in players sliding around or morphing through walls (although it does happen on occasion) but hit detection, especially with single shot weapons and rubber banding is TERRIBLE in this game. I really expected less connection based issues with the capabilities of these consoles.

            • I had one game where my friends I was playing with told me it looked like I was lagging for them. I then abused this and ran straight at the enemies as they couldn't hit me and I couldn't hit them. They were distracted by my lagging body and my teammates finished them off. Good times.

            • I've noticed a lot of times (randomly) I'll look around and it's like it takes a second or 2 to register than my guy looks around on his own. Very frustrating.

            • Try COD AW's lag. It's funny to see until it gets you killed about 15 times a match.

            • I'll have a string of matches where I get between a .09 - 3.0 KDR and then the next time I get on have a string of matches where I can do no better than .6, with the same weapons, same game mode. It's very obvious that lag is to blame, it feels like I'm about a half second behind everyone else. I'm in Chicago with a decent connection. Please fix Bungie.
