I can't be the only one this happens too..

[Akisohida]

Picture this. You know an enemy is coming. You have your rifle out and they round the corner and start firing. Your gun has a muzzleflash, you hear *BA-* and you are dead. By all rights, the enemy should have dropped with you..but they are not even wounded!

That's right, since you died, your bullet is null and void. You pulled the trigger, you saw the flash and heard half a sound-effect but since the bullet comes out at the END of the firing animation, you just got owned.

This will happen to me six or seven times an hour, so it is not uncommon. For the sake of my poor headset (it goes flying every time this happens >.> ) can someone please tell me if this has happened to them before? This is getting really, really frustrating. I don't mind dying, I just hate game mechanics going 'Oh dang! You were completely useless to your team that time!'

 

[wasawiki.]

You're just unlucky or I'm lucky because this never happen to me.

 

[Insurge]

happened to me quite a few times. It's annoying!

 

[/SLi\ Time]

It happens quite a few times to me. I don't know why though, haahaha.
Just keep a look out ;]

 

[|?| Hells High |?|]

Yeah it is very annoying. Hey, I thought they said that they were fixing that with the OB Update...

 

[Hoodie]

Yeah, Happens all the time when you snipe, if people are faster than you. Sucks even more when there head is all covered in blood, yet there sill at 100% health.

 

[Dweeb]

LOL! Been there! it stinks!....

 

[Thug1090]

ive had it a few times, but its worse when i shoot a bazooka and nothing happens >.<

 

[Jimmeh]

Yea I know what you mean.. I had the K98 out someone rounds the corner, muzzle flash, bang blood all over the guys face.. can't even see in anymore, I get killed and no health lost....

Grr... Always happens so annoying.

 

[Sezyeah]

This is why i sometimes destroy things in my room.

This is why i sometimes destroy things in my room.

I almost broke my keyboard

But yea I get this same problem.

 

[Jimmeh]

lol yea... It's the reason why I am on my 4th keyboard and 3rd mouse... and 5th computer desk xD.. that and when I lag when there are smoke grenades and then i get ownt...

 

[Vainiac]

isn't this a problem with how the source engine favors latency between players? it pretty much favors the person with the higher latency so even if you think you fired first the source engine doesnt see it that way

 

[Bas.B]

Yeah, it happens to me too, you just hear your gun go off but nothing happens. Worst part is that you know you should've killed the guy and they say "excuses!"

 

[pavelgj]

There are not a lot of ppl faster than me... LOL Kidding... but this happens to me quite often. It is a well known fact that the one who's moving faster around the corner will win. Not even an MG has a chance at close range if camping around the corner and the attacker knows it's there. I believe the game does some compensating based on ping... so if it decides that the other guy pulled the trigger first... even by a millisecond... well.. you're out of luck.

 

[Akisohida]

It really gets you angry when you have the MG. I fired 10 shots (whish is nothing because of the MG's speed) and SAW them zip towards the enemy. He sniped me, had blood all over him in the kill-cam thing..and was at 100%. Blarghflail!

 

[PiPbOy]

yea it happens to me all the time that or i can unload a clip on a guy his face is covered in blood and he has 100% health and im standing there going "wtf" and he shoots me w/ a pistol and laughs

 

[Suicide_Bomber]
