Also Shaxx says territory in a British accent in control

Is that grainy things fixed? My eyes are in pain after playing, not sure if it's because of that or because I haven't played in several weeks

They aren't going to post a final explanation until they know exactly what happened (i.e. gathered a bunch of internal information that we're never going to see about how their process failed).

Update about the nerf to shoulder charge
https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/212706586

2.4.0 Patch Notes Update

Update 2.4.0 was deployed on 09/08/2016. Since then, like we do, we've been monitoring its performance. Making changes to a Live game is complicated, especially when a lot of those changes are not scheduled to go live until a later date. For a full list of known issues, DPS has a thread tracking them here. If you have found any other bugs, or parts of the game not behaving the way they should, make a post here.
There was an intended change that went out in 2.4.0 that was inadvertently left out of the patch notes. The change in question affects Shoulder Charge and its related exotic armor MK 44 Stand Asides:
- Time to charge Shoulder Charge has been slightly increased. (+1 second)
- Shoulder Charge attack speed and target tracking has been slightly reduced.
- The activation window for Shoulder Charge when using MK44 Stand Asides has been reduced (-4 seconds)

I spoke with the Sandbox team and they informed me that the combination of Shoulder Charge with the new Memory of Jolder Artifact in Rise of Iron was an excessively deadly combination that needed a little tuning. They also had this to say regarding “stealth nerfs”:
“Sandbox will never intentionally make “stealth nerfs”, the community would find them immediately regardless, so that would be silly. In this case, that specific change list didn’t have the #patchnotes tag we use to track balance changes during development. It was a mistake, and in the chaos that precedes release to the world it was missed in review. Apologies.”
We will get the Patch Notes updated on Monday. We also forgot to give you some good news about Banshee 44 selling Armor Materials.
tl;dr: shoulder charge + no sprint cooldown artifact = gamebreaking so it got nerfed.

This has been debated endlessly but I'm glad you, the player who rarely plays crucible, gets relatively lag free lobbies and gets to feel good about yourself while I, a player who frequently plays crucible, gets to experience laggy 1.0 matches playing people as good as or better than me who depending on the match may have red bar powers.

Thing is, Increased Control is just TOO GOOD. I basically never use anything else. The only time I ever use Increased Height is to reach a Ghost or something. And no one uses Catapult. What Bungie needs to do is change Catapult to be the "Titan Skating" option that gives no real height gain, then just have Control be the middle ground of the two.

Reddit/Bungie.net are all a buncha whiny babies, Titans were poo poo for soooo long, especially once Warlocks got The Ram while Hunters ruled the roost for like a year and a half. Losing out/trading Shoulder Charge to regular melee is always gonna be some bullshit. I was looking forward to going back to my Titan for RoI for Shoulder Charge shenanigans like from launch.

I agree, it makes for a real bad mechanic with Bungie's horrible match making and them not giving two shits about red bar cheaters. However, it's also just really fun when you don't give a poo poo about k/d or anything and just want to smash some dudes and get a good run going.

Sorry, guy.
While never becoming full-time addicted to Destiny, I enjoyed it for a while. Then I played other games. Then The Taken King came out and I played that. And it was good. Then I stopped.
