The Secret Society 95% of activity is me, I could use some help.

Let's just name a few things in your Reach experience that's made you look at your screen in disbelief.

Mine (mostly lag):

-Over 9,000 counts of Bulltrue lag and betrayal lag in infection

-Multiple accounts of vehicles being shot across forge world for no reason in Big Team

-The most recent thing that happened to me: in Premium battle I'm driving a ghost over the bridge on Breakpoint and it disappears from under me and makes me commit suicide on the spot for no reason...

-A few counts of doing the move[jumping backwards over someone who is chasing me and proceeding to assassinate them] on someone, me punching them in the back and then them either 1)taking normal punch damage or 2) reverting to 2 seconds ago and assassinating me.

That's all I have for now so please share some of your odd laggy experiences.

Yesterday, I killed myself with the energy sword I swung at someone else.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

One time, I punched somebody just as they punched me, and we somehow ended up behind each other, like we teleported past each other.

Then I punched them when their back was turned. Sucker.

this has happened to me like 5 or 6 times before... Invasion Boneyard, if I'm a Spartan and the Elites get past phase 1, I'll usually run down and hide underneath the crane awaiting their Wraith spawn (it's amazing how many idiots ignore the vehicle spawn) and for some reason, the crane has randomly launched me toward/off the cliff or at 100 mph splattering me into the shipping container near the cliff edge... very strange...

also, it was probably lag related but I went to assassinate a guy as he was assassinating one of my teammates.... it started the assassination sequence, then I suddenly suicided.... that is in my file share because it cracks me up

Boltshot = mini shotgun

-Bulltrue glitch gets me all the time, even if it's a second after I kill the swordsman.
-Dying from a frag grenade when my shields remain fully charged.
-Trying to stick someone and it's about to go off when they go into armor lock and I get stuck.
-Trying to stick someone when the plasma grenade goes right through them.
-Dying from a gauss hog even though I'm behind a ton of walls or rocks.

I can go on and on.

yesterday I had the worst situation ever happened to me in reach:

Game was team slayer DMRs on asylum.

I had a perfect position in the base because my team covered the left side, I was covering right and middle, behind me was only the wall and I killed the only enemy in range. Right after that he respawned a few yards behind me and assassinated me! For the whole rest of the match I wondered how someone could sneak behind me because of my position I was sure nobody can come in unnoticed - in theater mode I just found out it was just a really bad spawn.

Here's a good one:
In infection (shocker) I sometimes do a quick 180 degree spin sword block if I'm caught off guard, well, I did it and I died and somehow the punch was detected after I died so I got a betrayal.

It goes under the first one but this specific thing has never happened to me before.

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

Got enough videos of WTF moments that will make you go "oh wow". Still I always find vehicles being shot around out of nowhere to be really funny.

note: many many wtf moments

Updating the Spartan when Reach came out.

I can snipe myself with my own sniper, but that's not lag.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

How about lag that makes you take fall damage multiple times, eventually killing you?

I have a video in my file share from a long time ago when I was playing campaign. On the first mission, when the falcon comes down to pick up Kat and Emile when you first fight the Covenant, and Elite high jacked it and flew off, leaving me having to restart from the checkpoint because the game wouldn't progress.

  • 11.13.2011 11:32 AM PDT

The other day I was pointing a Spartan laser at a Falcon with 3 people in it and I guess the driver saw me and jumped out in mid-air sending himself and his two passengers straight down into the abyss on Breakpoint. I didnt even have to shoot it lol. Then I got sniped from behind.
