Lag [u]is[/u] better and I'm truly thankful for that. BUT 1. Lots of the games are now lopsided blowouts. It's not really appealing to the warrior ethic to Become Legend when you are on either side of the blowout. 2. The Mercy Rule seems to have been repealed or converted into a Mercy Wish. This makes #1 worse. Like, I was in a few games where my team was losing by nearly 15,000 points and the damn games just went on and on and friggin' on. 3. Lots of folks are bailing if their team begins to lose. This makes #1 worse. In two games today everyone else on my team quit and it was me versus 6. It's kind of funny when you get hit by three supers, two rockets, a machine gun and three grenades at the same time. But it's only funny once. I played a few games where we had 3 people versus 6. New guys would drop in, look around, snort and quit. But hey, the connection was as solid as wedding night wood. Bungie, there [u]has[/u] to be a middle ground.
