I dont even know whats going on anymore, it feels like when you try to fight someone in a fever dream or something.
People walking through bullets, melee whiffs, double melee whiffs, other players just suddenly snapping into position or teleporting back and forth, that little stutter lag when someone slides, shoots, and just snaps back a meter, killing someone and it takes 3 seconds for the kill to register, all of that goodness that comes with this weird pseudo P2P system Bungie still uses in 2025.
I know its a product of the low population, but it still feels miserable to play in these lobbies, normally you would get these kind of lobbies once in a while, now it feels like its back to back to back.

I am constantly reporting "cheaters" for network lag cause I am never sure whether it's network problems or scam. May Bungie check it. But yes, sometimes it's insane. I can recall a game where I was shooting and made no damage at all and enemy team was just running past me. I think they didn't even see me, I felt like God mode unfortunately could not kill anyone. And my network connection of course with LAN!!! and cable is state of the art.
