This Iron Banner has been by far the worst I have seen yet. I get my ass kicked a lot in the crucible, but I hold my own. I have seen the most sketchy activity since the release of the game this past week! It has gone from massive amounts of lag, porting, glitching, and even obvious mods.
One lag example: Twilight Gap, a warlock starts running into a wall and becomes a bullet sponge. I unload 3 shotgun rounds point blank into his back and give up knowing he is obviously lagged out. I move to capture C with a team of 4. One by one we are meleed to death by the same warlock, but nobody is able to see him. We respawn and find him running into the same wall... We move to capture B and one of my fireteam members sees him still running into the wall, but he is melee killing us at B. Later at A... Maybe it is just mass lag and he isn't doing it on purpose, but he was reported nonetheless.
Example 2, Blind Watch: One player is dominating the match using Hawkmoon and Found Verdict. I run in to capture B and am quickly shut down by a full auto Found Verdict. Now I know this shotgun can be fired in full auto, but this particular instance it was firing way faster than I had ever heard it firing before. I'm talking high ROF auto rifle fast. I charge in and this same player had switched over to his Hawkmoon. Straight up mowed me down while firing this thing in complete full auto mode! I was in awe! That gun itself sounds scary enough, but when it is going off at that rate of speed I had to change my pants!
These are just 2 examples of things I have seen this week. There has been a lot of sketchy activity though. I have reported more players this week than I have the entire time I have been playing this game. If it is just been a crapload of lag, completely understandable and I hope it gets resolved soon. I would not be surprised at all to see a lot of accounts deactivated in the weeks to come.
Anybody else have any stories like this to share?
Edit: This is all on PS3
Edit: I understand some people use turbo controllers. it doesn't matter how fast your controller presses the button. What I'm trying to figure out is how he was still firing way faster than the guns rate of fire allows. Imagine a hawkmoon firing like Atheon's Epilogue.
Edit: Like the constructive responses. As for the trolls it's time to find a new hobby...
Edit: I'm not talking about banning people for lag issues. Everybody knows this game is full of it. I'm more concerned with possible mods and manipulated connection issues (believe it or not they are detectable).
Edit: Appreciate the stories guys. Regardless of what the trolls in this post seem to think cheating is real. Whether it be by mods or by network manipulation it does exist and will continue to be a problem. I also agree a lot of it has to do with server lag that cannot be helped. We have here over 200 examples of bad experiences players have had in the crucible for any number of reasons. It is constructive feedback like this that brings this stuff to the attention of those that can help fix the problems. Keep the posts coming!
Edit: I do report a lot of people, but I am not reporting everybody for cheating like the guy in the first example. In most cases I use the "bad connection" option. This option is not an attempt at getting people banned, it's there to call attention to weaker signals so that hopefully something can be figured out to strengthen their connection.

1 ReplyI had a team that was hacking for invincibility. Obviously after all 6 people in my party tried shooting these guys and never did any damage we all left.

3 RepliesUnfortunately internet connection is not the devs fault. Neither is it the players. I have seriously bad internet and I get smashed due to it... However I cannot blame this on the opposition, yes it sucks!! We should be able to select our sever preference.. Local, or wider

Won't happen

Modded controller, last time I checked they weren't illegal to use. They're expensive as hell and really not worth it.

3 RepliesModded controller (example 2)

Lag = Win

Happened to me maybe every 4 out of 10 games . The lag is shockingly bad
-
I was meleed through a wall!

I've only noticed Example 1 happen once. The entire game was laggy, to the point where I was unloading into people and they weren't dying until after they killed me. Or when a Titan bubble shielded on top of me and didn't even bother touching me. Or me running into a mass group of the other team and me meleeing all of them, none of them dying, and me not getting hit til someone randomly used nova bomb? Somehow through all of this someone on my team had 39 kills and apparently at least 11 deaths but I never saw him.

Most of my games were fine BUT there were 2-3 that were absolutely ridiculous and if they weren't cheating I'd be amazed. With that said there are definitely games where we were just completely dominated but usually I can tell the difference.
-
Probably. I don't think this word means what you think it means.
-
Sounds like a modded controller for the second one and the first one he could be flooding his ip knowing that if he lags he gets the advantage. I see it all the time the dude in first is red bar. 75% of the time

Twilight gap, I was put into a match without any other players for about 5 mins
