Just WTF is going on? Worst day I've ever had in IB as were my friends. Did the patch do something we all missed? Just about everyone we saw today had Praedyth's Revenge and was chain sniping at speeds faster than I've ever seen. I've had the weapon for a very long time and I've never seen it shoot so fast. I know some people are good at sniping but there's no way anyone is legitimately popping headshots the instant you appear regardless of any incoming fire. I swear it's like they're aim botting, or possibly using a mouse and keyboard. At one point I watched an enemy get hit by my friend's arc blade only to magically appear behind him undamaged (I killed him with my gun).
Normally if it's just me I'll sometimes attribute it to my ISP but my friends were having the same issues and weren't themselves lagging either. Something is very wrong with the game right now.
EDIT: For the people with apparently massive reading compression issues, I'm well aware of how good PR is and it's been my go-to sniper for ages. It does not fire as fast as I've been seeing others do. The only sniper I'm aware of that does is The Eye of Sol. Furthermore there's a difference between pre-aiming and running around the map inst-killing with a sniper regardless of distance or reaction time. I've watched Sir Gris snipe and the dude's a 1-man army but what I was seeing yesterday was much more like the aimbotting days of Halo PC - it's like they don't even bother aiming or ADS it's just instant death the moment you're visible it utterly defies human reaction time - the top Korean starcraft players would look at this and be like "there's no way".

4 AntwortenBungie set up the perfect storm with their crappy PvP game design. They took the cheap way out and designed it so any moron could cheat their way through. And they knew what they were doing. In this day and age there is no excuse at all for the PvP to be done this way. But they did it. And they don't do anything about it as they are more interested in the participation rate rather than quality game play for their customers. The cheaters are definitely low life losers with no life, but Bungie is as much to blame for the shoddy design.
