If you figured out a way to gently caress your opponents' connection you could just effectively boot them from the session as soon as you got a lead, maybe

It's cool though we now have a pretty good example to follow and see exactly how much teeth bungie has.

Which is goddamn trivial, it's super easy to get a firewall that lists new connections and if it shows up during matchmaking you pay 50 cents to some hacker group to send ten million connections to that address for 30 seconds.

You can get a ~gamer router~ that will tell you all kinds of things about who you're connected to, that's how people figured out SBMM was giving them opponents on other continents.

Yeah this is probably what's going on, especially since the source code for the dumb botnet whatever that shut down DynDNS is open source now.

There's this whole shadow realm of people who are so bad at this game.

Net duma isn't cheating it's the router that has an easy interface to be very selective about who can connect to you. It's literally the exact opposite of a Ddos.

If the game can't match you again pros from Fiji, Colombia and a dude playing from his truck via a tethered note 7 it will eventually give up and just match you with a nice connection.

Rasheed was, with Aliases, the top 7 PvPers in Bone Krew.


No one talks about this.
He charges people to run with him and probably does it dirt cheap since he can do double carries and the matches are short so he can probably get in a run every 30 min.

has anyone noticed the new shaders? iris something and surfbreaker? i only caught them because for some reason in the kiosk they have 'required level: 40' and none of the other ones do.
