Let's Talk End Game (Destiny)

In general, I prefer Bungie's approach to networking their MP games rather than the 'skating on ice' and 'rubber banding' type weirdness you get with other architectures. Which always felt dis-empowering - like I was fighting the game itself rather than other players.

From what I understand this is the cause of a lot of weirdness you get in Destiny. Most games tend to stick to the classic model: if you have a better Internet connection you'll have a better experience and an advantage over other players. The games with more complicated netcode make it so even if you have a mediocre connection you'll have a more enjoyable experience, but this can be frustrating because it can cause stuff like this.

I could be completely wrong on this, but that's what I've been told in the past.
