Yup just played a game with 5/6 people playing in 5 bar

I warlock melee'd a player with half-health and no oversheild and they didn't take any damage. They blinked backwards and next thing I know a grenade kills me. My fireteam saw the melee as well. That and other miscellaneous glitchy-ness: shots not registering, phantom radar hits, etc. I'm usually not one to complain, but it's pretty bad.

Yep im in Australia and every match is -blam!-ed with lag game is finished for me..

From what I've heard, they've enabled global skill-based matchmaking, possibly to combat the lowering player count.

It's become crazy how many matches I play with red and yellow bars. Granted, my net is 16 mos, but I have never seen this much lag.

[quote]I have no idea how many things have gone wrong with this patch, but the lag in the Crucible is worse than ever before. Iron Banner can be described as lag free, in comparison. The matchmaking seems to be fundamentally broken, as every lobby I am in either has at least 3 red bars, 6 yellow bars or everyone is yellow bar. - I see more yellows than anything. I'll see maybe 1 red bar every 2 matches Shots take forever to register, melee charges are getting consumed, yet no damage is being dealt. - agree with this for the most part Bullets simply disappear (some call them phantom bullets). - never seen that what so ever I am getting sniped, yet no lense flare shows up (or the last 40 people are apparently the best quickscopers in Destiny). - seen very few times, can only assume quick scope People do not appear on the Radar, even though they aren't invisible. - radar seems to work fine for me. If it says someone is right on me and I don't see them initially, they are usually above me Getting killed through walls is also a new favourite pastime of mine. - yeah that's just lag and latency issues. I'm hoping to get a new smaller monitor for Christmas to help with the latency I get from my bigger tv PvP is currently pretty broken, in terms of connection quality.[/quote] - not that much for me. I have a friend who plays and he gets red bar a lot in just PVP. PVE he is green every time. Even when he gets red bar in PVP, he isn't glitching around or running into walls or even sees other players doing that. It's actually kind of weird

Nothing more fun than playing against someone who is actually good and has that red bar connection. /s

Not even close to that bad for me

I'm with you there. Had a bit of a break playing battlefront. Come back to crucible which has always been a favourite haunt to find it pretty much as you have described . Bloody nightmare . My best to date being shot down by 3 guardians who were not on the radar or even there with me until I died

The lag is getting pathetic.. I keep getting quick sniped. Were there's no delay between scope flashing and me dying. I find it hard to believe that many people are that quick/ good consistently getting head shots. ToO is one big snipe/ lag fest

It's clearly been much worse since update 2.1.0 I asked one player whether he was lag switching and he replied,"I play solo in Australia and it puts me in the U.S. Servers" Matchmaking should be localized especially when playing alone. You should not be put in games hosted by someone from the other side of the world.

Yeah they broke matchmaking this update. All I see now are brazil and UK and sweden...I live in north america this is ridiculous.

I posted this recently, and I'm glad a lot of people are agreeing. Another factor to consider is that with less people playing, we're being paired over greater distances and with people with potato connections.

Activision is probably directing more resources and server to Blvk Ops 3 as is breaking a lot of sales records and they just launched some micro transactions too

Most annoying thing for me is getting sniped by an invisible player. They only become visible after I've been killed. I used to play Crucible alot but now I just play once for the 15 marks or a couple of times if I have absolutely nothing else to do.
