Mass banning probably coming after Iron Banner event...

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.

    The lag is killer man. I still get top of the list or highest K/D, but I feel like all of my deaths are due to lag for the most part. Like, I'll be shooting someone and it won't register every shot, or I'll die behind a wall because from their point of view I am in plain sight. Even down to where people will shot at where I WAS and I'd die. I think it's my router, but -blam!- comcast.

  • One time I had just swords Crota, then turned around to jump at him the second time and he was gone... not ran to one of the sides but was under the left bridge. Team started taking his shields down where he was and I jumped down to sword him as he started kneeling. He disappeared and reappeared in the middle again, standing not kneeling anymore, and even though I was under the bridge it said I died by Crota's blade. The over soul was invincible for some rwason so we wiped. That's some major hackz right there.

  • The one complaint I have is that this IB was indeed far worse than the previous two. I generally have a decent time in IB due to frequent wins. I never once maxed out at 5 tokens like I did this time. Maybe I'm rusty? But it just felt way different this time around and it was a real grind to get the AR I wanted. Last time I hit 5 no problem. This time I hit 3, got the AR from a drop and the second I maxed my marks, I left. Although maybe it would be a good idea to go into a match, lose 5 times and save these tokens for the next iron banner event.

    • All of it is down to lag, simple. Whatever way you look at it. Besides, you can't even cheat/hack on next gen consoles.

      • I gave up on the shit game mode. Crucible in general is garbage. I'm by far a master in the crucible. The times I've dabbled in it I hang around a 1 k.d. I'll have games above 2 and then I'll have games at .2. But playing in this IB infuriated me. All the bullet sponged players who after 10 heads hots from a vex turn around and one shot me when they are 5 levels lower than me. And I don't know how many times I'll have a mid 20's player in the game and he just absolutely ravashes my team. And when I inspect them they are using all blue weapons not even leveled at all... I'm talking like 232 damage and they are using blue gear that isn't maxed. How the hell can that person one shot me? A level 31 with maxed gear? Doesn't make since. I may be butthurt crybaby or whatever you want to say. But if I shoot someone 4-5 times and they don't die, instead one shot me with a full shield and health. That's bullshit

      • I experienced the same invisible person and him running into a wall I was also unable to kill him and in my opinion if this is some lag it wouldn't be reported in exactly the same way by so many people so I think it's a mod of some kind and very much hope he and others like him are banned as long as it's not lag.

        Lol. You actually think people are going to be banned for this? First example is just some kid with a bad connection, and the 2nd is perfectly normal. If you've played Crucible for more than 5 seconds you should know how insane all the Exotic Hand Cannons are. Just because you got destroyed doesn't make it hacking/modding. I have a video of a level 19 Nova Bombing me within 30 seconds of the game starting, but I later found out it's legit because you get a full super bar when you level up. The only thing Bungie cares about is the heavy ammo glitch, because it's game breaking. In fact, they actually encourage cheating by allowing parties of 3 to search Rumble together and boost void kills.

        • Lag had been pretty bad for me recently in normal crucible, so I didn't even bother trying IB this time. It's just frustrating, so I figured it wasn't worth the aggravation with everyone trying to play at once. I did have a hilarious one in a strike the other day though. Phogoth decided he didn't want to shoot at us. We unloaded on him but his health never moved. After a couple minutes I just tried to ride him instead. Kept falling off, but it was amusing. Then he roars, fires one shot and explodes as the damage caught up to him. Best glitch I have seen.

        • I have indeed notice the high ROF found verdicts and the massive lag that seems intentional. As a titan I use ward of dawn with armor of light. One particular hunter walked into it while shooting the found verdict at a higher than usual fire rate. Usually that gun gives me the chance to melee twice while being inside the ward, but this time I died almost instantly. I also noticed the extreme amount of laggers in the game lately, some of them even know they are lagging because I see them appear and disappear while dancing, it seems like lagswitch. This is halo all over again.

          • I think its because PS3 is too easy to get advantage over. I don't see that at all on PS4, other than rare occurrences of lag/animation skip, its a server based game after all.

          • I ran into Warlocks doing the run into the wall thing back in Iron Banner 2 multiple times. It was definitely not accidental.

          • I had similar things happen in some of my games. To me it did feel like lag switching, simply because it tended to happen at really convenient times but otherwise the guy would be fine. For example, on blind watch a guy would come running through the door to B up top, invincible. He'd run against the rail. Once we started unloading on him, the rest of the team would come pouring through the door. They did this repeatedly. But moving around the map the guy was fine. However, I had a guy message me telling me to enjoy my ban for modding just because I happened to have a good game for once. So who knows? I didn't report anyone because: A) I remain unconvinced either way. Maybe people are lag switching, maybe not. B) even if they are, lag is prevalent and bad enough that there's no way for me to be sure who's doing it and who is honestly just lagging like crazy. I'm not going to report innocent folks just cuz a game sucked and I think they MAY be responsible. But that's just me.

          • I agree the latency was so bad I prob won't play next time. There was so much BS going on every match. Headshots were not taking and even when id get one the bounty wouldn't count it. Delayed time from my shots to their Heath changing. The postmortem was way off. The simple fact that as a 32 Titan with armor of light in my bubble I would get meleed killed by anyone like there was no bubble. Also the Titan striker melee didn't one shot anyone below level 30.

              • Very similar stuff happening while I was playing on Xbox One. You can check my recent Iron banner games that I'm alright in crucible and iron banner but I'm only rank 2 because of this mass lag it'll just boot me out of the game. I'll play 10 minutes out of the 12 minute game and then it will boot me...its nuts :(.

              • If it's not just you experiencing it then it's the server itself bro. That guy may have a good wired connection with signal strength. And you probably had the short end with wireless having a poor signal. It's hilarious actually, u see a guy's legs not moving but he's moving the rest of his body. Pulling out some ghost type shyt lol

                For number one he was using a lag switch. They are easy to use. Let me show you mine from my gears of war 1 days. Literally a light switch connected to a Ethernet cord.
