Suspicion about possible DDOS attack
3 players by the name of [removed] were some players my team ran into on Dire Marsh and it seemed a little too perfect for just a coincidental error. Match went as normal with us dueling on Dire Marsh near Quarantine, and it got to the point that my team needed it better be a smart idea to fall back and regroup. Upon my team falling back and beginning to retreat towards Bio Research, all of the members of my team began to suffer from lag spikes. Within 2 minutes of each other, my game completely crashed out, and then my teammates superinsane64 and GentleGiant began to severely rubberband. My entire console lost internet connection and connection to the game servers, but my internet was still clearly up and working. Considering the first 4 matches before this we had no lagging or connection issues, and this severe lagging and rubberbanding to the point of one of us crashing, yet our connections outside of the game was completely still fine, causes some suspicions of DDOS'ing of the server. At least from our point of view, the game while we were being shot at, seemed to just not allow us to move as we were being damaged.

Unfortunately, I did not have any video footage or any recording software active to catch this happening. Nor did I get the chance to screenshot and review the error code that happened. It all happened so quickly and as expected, the amount of frustration losing pre-made loadouts and keys overtook everything else. Putting the names of the players was not meant to be a break of COD, it was the only way I could think of putting in a post since I didn't have any other way to show what happened. Mainly to see if it would maybe at least see about putting the accounts named under investigation or at least watch for their matches prior to or post the occurrence of report.
