Running over a tiny (sometimes nigh invisible) pebble can toss your sparrow 80 feet into the f*cking air or cause it to outright explode. Sometimes landing your sparrow (even doing so perfectly) from a big jump has a small chance to either push it backwards or cause a spontaneous explosion. There are two spots on the Venus track where this has happened to me (big drop over the waterfall, and immediately after the teleporter). Hit detection for gates makes no sense half the time. Barely graze it and you get the boost, pass through with almost half your sparrow inside and it counts as a miss. This one is fairly easy to recover from, but it has the potential to happen with almost every gate, so it's still something that should be looked into. Pressing the emote button sometimes does absolutely nothing, sometimes even while in mid-air it does the regular driving emotes (try to do a trick and the guardian just points off to the right or something). Again, relatively easy to recover from (especially if you have the gloves and boots), but it still sucks when it happens. Colliding with someone in mid-air cancels tricks and somehow prevents you from performing new ones during that jump. Maybe it counts as landing on an opponent or something? If that's the case, the game should have a way of differentiating between another sparrow and the ground. That whole Overdrive spontaneous explosion bug (the one supposedly caused by a laggy connection between you and the host). If we had dedicated servers, this wouldn't be an issue. === Yeah, sometimes the mere act of criticising the game, no matter how valid the argument, attracts the kind of people who downvote for the hell of it and call the OP an entitled prick. I'm hoping the people who read this have enough common sense to know that the issues I've pointed out are in no way fair. Someone spontaneously combusting for no goddamn reason on the final lap is nothing less than the game cheating them out of a potential victory. Granted, they don't happen every game, but when they do, it can seriously mess up your attempts to get first place, god forbid you encounter multiple of them. Bungie, I know it's not super high on your priority list, but for future reference please take note of this.
