New forms of cheating in Iron Banner? (Destiny)
I've noticed a couple of weird behaviors in Iron Banner this go around and want to know if anyone else has seen these. All of these, with the exception of "lag switch" behavior, are things I've never seen in PvP before this week. Also, my connection is goddamn amazing; there's no lag on my end:
- The "red scope flare" for zoomed in snipers appearing on the right foot of enemy players instead of near their head. They can stand with their feet behind cover and snipe you without you ever seeing the scope flare.
- Players whose character is constantly ducking throughout the entire time (like, standing, ducking, standing, ducking), even while sprinting, changing weapons, jumping, etc. It's way too regular to be actual button presses, and looks like animation glitching half the time (more like the guy is constantly in a loop of the "standing up" animation which resets to fully crouched every time it finishes).
- Lag switchers being more prevalent? It's hard to tell if players who never take damage are lag switching or just lagging, but I've found that I'll run into a party of 3-6 players and all of them will have the same laggy behavior while other members of the game show no issues.
- Incredibly bunchy bullets. Several times in different games I've seen a guy hit me with 3-6 bullets all at once, as soon as I saw him, and then animate each individual shot after I died (with no bullets firing). This may be lag switch related? Not sure. The characters don't seem to be lagging at all in terms of movement.
- Endless super and grenades. A void warlock I was up against would throw a grenade, super, throw a grenade, super just over and over and over. He was using Bad Juju and had Obsidian mind on, so maybe he was just nuking loads of us and this wasn't a cheat, but it sure seemed impossible from watching him in my death cams. None of his teammates were creating orbs.
