You want a sandwich? Sure. As long as you don't mind me putting poison in it.

Yeah. I use the AR, so what? All you can do is scream and rage about me using the weapon.

I remember this very well (Beware, this is a really uncool story):

I was playing a game of Living Dead on Uncaged or The Cage. I was a survivor and I have a Zombie lined up in my sights. I shoot him with my Magnum, very clearly in the head, but he did not die. Instead he proceded to teleport behind me and then just drop dead with me not firing a single bullet and no one else was around me.

I moved about 5-6 feet and then, all of a sudden, I dropped dead but I could still rotate the camera as though I was still alive (I could even see my Spartans waist and legs) and then a Zombie just dropped dead right beside me.

When all was better I, somehow, was a Zombie.

Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked.
Money don't grow on trees.
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed, There ain't nothing in this world for free.
I know I can't slow down, I can't hold back, though you know, I wish I could.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good.

Upgrade *to* dial up

A couple weeks ago I played a game of Anniversary Classic BTB Slayer on the Hang 'Em High remake. Game started off fine, then got extremely laggy very suddenly. All the connection meters on the scoreboard went red. I caught up with one of the top players on the other team who was magnum-sniping my team while they were spawning, got behind him, was about to assassinate him but he quickly turned around to face me so I ended up just punching him in the face. Whatever. His shields are all the way down, he doesn't get a chance to hit me back, I start unloading my magnum into his face figuring I'll get the kill any second but out of nowhere: lag hits. Screen freezes for a split second so I don't even get to see how, but I come back dead with no kill. We're losing.

Keep in mind that a friend of mine who I was partied up with, who has a great connection, was in the same game as me and ended up walking away from the controller because he was getting frustrated with the lag. A couple minutes after he walks away everybody's connection meter goes green, I start kicking some ass, but the other team's still maintaining about a 20 point lead. Games about 3/4 of the way through when half of the other team quits.

I start thinking "Oh yeah, comeback time! We can totally do this, these guys are terrible!" Bam, lag hits; scoreboard shows all red connections. Convenient. Needless to say: we lost. One guy on the opposite team had forty-something kills if I remember right, and the guy who somehow managed to kill me with no shields and with me unloading a magnum into his face had 27 kills by the end. Nobody else did nearly as good, not even on their team.

I managed to make it out with a positive K/D but obviously I was annoyed. I don't think it's as simple as a "lag switch" but I do think if you get host and know what you're doing, you can influence the game in a severely unfair way.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

You can't lag switch in Reach, but nice try.

You will immediately go black screen, you will not have time to attack, you cannot run around, at best you will be able to get back in the game if you connect back again fast enough.

This happens when the other person is lagging. happens all the time. The most irritating is when you get in a match with a host forcer. It puts you (if you were host originally) into blackscreen while they run around the map killing you. You are put on blackscreen because matchmaking recognises you as the rightful host but the modder is forcing you out of host so while the server tries to reconfigure you, you cant do anything but watch a blackscreen.

You have no idea what you are talking about, do you?
