Lately, its been happening alot to me, just seeing if it does to anyone else… dunno if its lag or what:
When people throw a grenade at me, it DOESN’T bounce like usual…it stops right at me feet and then blows…dunno how that happens…
Also, sometimes after I get a kill…like 2 seconds later i hear the whisp of a grenade thrown and then I die…i look around while i’m dead an no one is around me…so who throw it, the guy i just killed didnt throw it…
I dunno, whatever…just wondering
It’s an heavy lag.
To get less lag, just turn off all your computers and don’t use your phone (you can use your cellphone) because it is connected to ADSL, so it steals a bit of your live connection.
Don’t be alarmed, it’s only lag. If it appens for more than 3 days, then try to get a better connection.
No this doesn’t happen to me but the post above might be helpful.
It sounds like lag to me. I have noticed odd things similar to this happening when I’ve been lagging.
The grenade sound and it killing you after you slay an enemy is in fact a con of the type of net code Reach uses. There is much better time window for a player’s actions to happen compared to last games, which is why you’ll often get killed by a CoD style martyrdom if you will. On their screen they weren’t dead yet.
That can be HELPED by reducing bandwidth using devices sucking up bandwidth, but it still happens regardless if your Xbox is the only thing using bandwidth or not.
As for other people just perfectly throwing grenades at you…that’s simple.
Everyone is great with grenades, except you. By YOU I mean everyone really. The other person always has great nades. Especially guests.
I have had the same problem but with missile and plasma launchers. I would shoot the launcher and the projectile would freeze in mid air and kill me. I stopped using them and now it doesn’t do it any more because it turned out my connection was bad. :[
