I'm a hunter and I get postmortem melee all day (Destiny)

Lots of times I melee someone with what should be a killing blow. Then they turn around and pistol me twice. Then I die. Then they die. I get a postmortem melee kill. I should still be alive, looking down at their dead body. The netcode is very laggy, and that is a bug. Point of comparison: Halo never had these problems. Of course, I play halo on xbox live, rather than PSN, so maybe PSN is just garbage.

Halo had the issue where the two of you would melee close to the same time and one would die and the other would be unharmed. Whomever had the better latency would always win. I also saw people get hit with rockets point blank and die only to actually be alive and kill you due to lag. In this case Halo had problems but they were not as obvious due to the system hiding them.

Destiny is much more ... forgiving... in the netcode so it is a little more obvious when there was a near simultaneous kill.

I prefer this to CoD or Halo's early implementations for the most part.
