Yeah, I believe there is something in the coding for the new material for this season that has really messed the game up. If it is cheats, they are exploiting these things to the max. Regardless, the biggest change they made this season other than Bloodhound's rework was to the guns with those attachments (which I have yet to see in the actual game except in the firing range) and with several of the guns being buffed and nerfed. I wonder if something new with the coding of the guns is causing them to not register hits and is providing some kind of vulnerability that cheaters could exploit?
I noticed this game really didn't start having this many problems until season 20 started, then it got better once some patches were made, then about 5 seasons later it got worse again. Weird.
