the game is inplayable at times, using a vex it changed to a normal fusion rifle and I can't run just walk. The game is a joke as a pvp game. Why can't they fix this, people are getting sick of it to the point they don't want to play it anymore. Lag lag lag lag. In in the uk on a 100mb fibre line yet it seems I'm being punished for having a decent connection and having a bad one helps you win.

Last night my last work kept firing slow. Vex had a charge rate. Missed heavy 5 matched in a row because of spawn trap. It was the first time I've actually gotten annoyed with it.
-
I see this crap all the time. IMO it's caused by cheating players using lag switches far more than when it's a legitimate server issue. During the banner I saw it every 3rd match or so.

Have you tried configuring your router? Look for QoS settings and prioritise your Xbox/PlayStation.
-
I stuck a guy with a magnetic nad unloaded a whole clip from a Vex and he ended up behind me and BAM shotgun I'm dead.
-
The only lag I get is when it's loading my inventory. It's a real problem when I'm in a rush and need to change my armor or weapons.

Bandwidth isn't latency. Lag is caused by latency issues, not bandwidth issues. While hitting your bandwidth cap could contribute to latency issues that is likely not the case. Online games don't require a lot of bandwidth, the data must be transmitted quickly and processed quickly to keep the game fluid and running in real time, this isn't streaming video where bandwidth rules and latency is irrelevant. You could install a packet capture program, like WireShark, on a computer in your network to monitor the traffic and verify this for yourself.

Not Bungies fault it's the crappy McDonald's wifi players that cause this
-
I have (arguably) the best internet in the world, Google Fiber, and it still lags in iron banner. It needs fixing.

Sort this -blam!-ing lag out BUNGIE

Two anecdotes from yesterday in Iron Banner: 1- I had 9/10 on the Iron Wrath IB bounty at the end of a match. I'm not that great at PVP, so it's always a huge relief for me to finish these off. So I was being very careful on the next match. I let the rest of the team go in first, and I admit I was looking for an easy shot. I saw this guy and aimed my shotgun so his head filled the face-ring. I pulled the trigger, and nothing happened. Then he shot me, and then a few seconds later he died from my shot. With lag I don't really know who shot first, but I know I pulled my trigger before I was shot. No Iron Wrath for me. 2- A guy runs towards me in a hall. I hit him with my shotgun. Nothing. He vanishes, and runs at me again. I shotgun him. Nothing. Rinse/repeat twice more. On the last time he runs past me and I shoot him in the back. He vanishes, and then I get shot in the back by him. The thing that ticks me off the most is how much of my precious, precious shotty ammo I used on this. Also countless times seeing people blink all over, and a ton of red lines yesterday. I figured it was just because it was Sunday on Iron Banner, with increased rep buffs.

Proofread man. It doesn't take very long.

Agreed. I am in Colorado, here in the USA. The lag is pretty bad in PvP and it doesn't seem to get any better. It's like the Bungie's redheaded stepchild. They never talk about it or address it. I'm hoping for some kind of miracle when the HoW drops for us, but I tend to doubt it. I know that someone like Deej has to read a lot of these posts, yet nothing is said. I would settle for something like, "We are aware of the connectivity and matchmaking issues in our PvP game modes, and are currently reviewing possible changes to alleviate the problem."

Calm.

I killed a guy yesterday. I shot him 4 times in the head with jolder's hammer. He died. Then I died from his shotgun and he never moved in my direction.
-
With all the money spent on this game and the resources available, why not dedicated servers? Especially on Xbox where it is already available.
-
Fix it before someone gets hurt.
-
Amen. It was almost unplayable last night. My friend unloaded an entire heavy into a guy's face and it didn't kill him. People skipping across the map. Annoying
-
They ain't got dedicated servers thats why
-
I believe its been getting worst. I use to play PvP all the time like 2 months ago. There was some lag, and once in a while would take a bit for you to respawn. But now days its all the time. Your team is doing OK, than BAM everyone gets glitched out and "enemy has control of all bases" and that stupid horn.
-
I think if everyone would just make me a sandwich, all will be right with the universe.
-
If you're experiencing it that much it's probably you causing it.
-
A lot of people deliberately lag games so that people cant kill them.
-
One of the laggiest games I have ever played.

Edited by LeonShepard: 5/4/2015 10:52:10 AMThey never fixed the lag in Halo so good luck with this. Multiplayer in Destiny is nothing short of a broken unbalanced pathetic mess. It needs redoing from the ground up, but this Bungie and Activision we're talking about here so expect the same half arsed approach in Destiny 2

Edited by The 7th fall: 5/4/2015 12:08:58 AMO.o ok that stupid Nurse Titan was cheating hardcore. When she went against a group, she lagged her little butt off, and when she was in a 1vs1 about to die, she began to lag all the more.
