He wasn't shooting at me!

Anyone find this happens unusually often? I dunno if its just me but so many of my deaths when iw as stealthed, killcams shows the guy was shooting a teammate, and somewhere behind him i die, usually 1 bullet aswell :< its insane how often this happens.


On a similar note, yesterday on lighthouse, i was in the lighthouse sniping with the Gauss, see a guy at the .50 cal across the map and fire, miss his head by an inch and get a kill, turns out there was a sniper, stealthed about 15m behind him hiding in the bushes, Awesome :D

and yes this thread really is just an execuse for me to share that story.

Its the lag affecting hit detection...what you see isnt the same as the person that killed you and is one of the reasons the online is falling apart until or if they ever release a patch to solve their short sightedness

I do not believe it to be lag. I am not certain, but I believe one or two bullets to the head is enough to kill you if you are cloaked, so one or two bullets might be just enough if the opponent is lucky enough. It is very frustrating nonetheless.

The bullet just passed my teammate on the .50 cal and shot me right in my cloacked(!) head, lol!
