I spent more time playing regular pvp modes last night than I ever have before. Usually, I only play PVP when IB comes around, and it's pretty consistent. Probably because I am on a full team of 6.
Last night was all over the place for me. I literally would got from having a 2.33 k/d, to struggling to get 3 kills the very next game. It was literally up and down all night. Some matches it would seem like my weapons wouldn't do any damage to the other players, then all of the sudden, half way through the match, my guns would just start melting the other team.
I don't know if this is because of the matchmaking, servers, or some other balancing that Bungie is doing, but it is really inconsistent, and in turn it is not fun.

This!! Yep I have the same exact experience. One game I kill very easily and my guns work as they should. The next game I can unload a full clip and get their health down half way. I have also noticed that this can change in the middle of a game. Doing really good at first, then can't do damage like I should be able to. Also, I have noticed when I am not doing much damage I seem to move much slower, the other team is all over the place getting the jump every time. I suspect damage referee is doing this. I have a very good reliable connection as well. Frustrating for sure.

Bungie balancing behind the scenes. I've been suspecting the same thing. I wonder if they're using the damage referee to do this. It was supposed to be used against lagging players, but I don't see that. Sometimes my shots are doing little to no damage and we're both green bar.
