Very difficult to kill - lag or armor freak?

Post » Fri Jun 03, 2011 3:46 am

I played several strange games today, some people seemed nearly impossible to kill, it was like CoD jugger all over again. I would see a guy 20m away and open fire, centering that red dot perfectly on his upper chest. The hit marker is popping crazy, but I continuously pump rounds into him while he does not die.

Is there some new health hack out there? That bloke was able to look up and kill me after shooting nearly 20 rounds of SCAR into him, at 20 meters!

I saw this happen with just a handful of people, and in the killcam I can see maybe 1 or 2 of them having put armor mode on, while the rest just simply tanked my shots as if I totally missed. This is absolutely ridiculous, I had about 75 ping while most of those 'tankers' had around 100, so I don't believe this could all be caused by lag.

So unless the SCAR's damage got nerfed by 50%+ or armor mode got buffed by 200%, I really cannot understand how they don't die from getting hit by walls of lead.

Maximum Nanosuit or...well...erm...Deflection? What I saw in some lag-kill-killcams, that while the lagger killed me, nearly all of my shots missed. And as I was alive and shooting at him, I saw the blood splashing... :<

Someone accused me for somekind health hack when I had maximium nanosuit. And yes lag or deflection can be also reason. Also with armor mode + armour enhance you can take more shots than just normal armor mode.
And then of course accuracy and pure luck.

^Wrong. You can't take more shots than normal with armor enhance.

I have wondered that often myself, why the hell the **** just won't die, especially on those cases where I know for certain that I am shooting him in the head. For example enemy player is shooting someone else and is walking towards me sideways so he is basically standing still for me, I have the dot on his head, I can see the hit marker but it still takes like 10 bullets in the head to drop him and I it even doesn't show that I got an headshot. Also the same thing goes for cloaked player, when I am cloaked it takes like 2 or 3 bullets to kill me but when I shoot a cloaked player it takes that many to get him out of the cloak and then the real work only begins xD

Are you sure? "Reduces Drain Speed of Energy when in Armor Mode."

Yes it drains slower when moving but when you take hits it also drains energy and I thougth it drains less when you have armor enhance. As in nanosuit show room it says "Double nanites and Double time"

Well if normal armour have ex. 100 nanites and then double of course 200 and ex. pistol hit takes 10 away = normal could take 10 pistol shots before depleted and armor enhance 20 so in that way it would be stronger than normal armor mode.
And that clip in armor enhance kind of show that guy takes more hits than normal and kill all guys there.

Im no way sure about this, I just thouth it could be this way :D

What others think?

Armor enhance3 doesn't improve the armor.It simply reduces energy drain in armor mode just like stealth enhance3.Also it helps you to run faster.

I can assure you it wasn't maximum nanosuit, unless he had it everytime I tried to kill him. Other people on my team were having the same problem, I see 3 guys run at him firing on full blast, yet he somehow survives and kills all of them o_o

What is deflection though? I didn't think that was in MP

If this is the health hack then I'm just going to find something else to do for another month or until next "patch," because these types of hackers are very hard to confirm and kick, most people would just think it was lag.

You get deflection for a death streak, Gives you some extra protection so long that you kill someone. I think if you aim with scope to someone who has deflection it mess up your aiming with kind of blur and colour effect and it also deflect some bullets.
So kind of bonus helper when you have trouble the get kill.

to be honest, the lag is quite incredible for me. i have an average ping of 30-50, yet every killcam i watch shows me something that doesn't coincide with my perception of what happened.

i lose about 80% of close range engagements, while i shot half a feline mag into my enemy, he turns around and one-hits with his melee for the kill. Afterwards i see all my shots missing in the killcam and my enemy shooting a few bullets at me and hitting me twice, WTF????? Its the same every time :(

Maybe it has something to with the 1000 ping servers, which are the only ones i can see. I also get "cannot connect to host", most of the time after i leave the first server of the day.

Same problem. Sometimes meeting people that needs 2 clip of nails to bunch them down in armor mode. Even 2 of our "team" can't kill them while they in armor. And strange that they're killing from not much bullets guys in armor mode.
Modified armor or health value, or infinite energy? Maybe... But can not be proved in many cases =_=
Forgot to mention...Not all that kind of people having armor enhance equipped.
