I hit a guy ten feet away with four headshots, animations too, yet I died!

I read on another thread, it was from packet loss!

did you get the hit indicator and/or the animation?

could be a bug or you missed completely.

dont go for the balls. the really annoying players havent dropped theirs yet.

i've had similar things happen to me, when ever i go head to head in prone a guy with a machine gun slaughters me, it's easier to get them if you stay standing as they have to aim up, either that or have some fun and throw a claymore on em' or drop a nade.

I've never really noticed this with a gun but knifing really shows how lag can cause a discrepancy between what your computer is telling you versus how the server is interpreting what's going on.

In a knife fight I’ve more than once hit a guy in the head (complete with the puff of dust which accompanies a hit) to no effect. Conversely I’ve been stabbed before I’ve even seen my opponent’s knifing animation. Presumably this also happens with guns – though I imagine it would be much harder to see.

i was playing sniper on sharqi last night, i was using the m95. this tank comes along and there is a guy manning the machinegun on top. i'm maybe 50-60 yards from it under a bush. so i aim, wait a second and shoot. crosshair was dead center with his head. nothing, not even an indication that i hit him. do it again. nothing. 2 more times and still not a hit. 5th shot finally lands and he dies. not too long after that i see the same guy in the tank again. same exact thing happens. took me 5 shots to kill this guy both times, only 1 shot each time registered as a hit. the tank was not moving, the guy was not turning. they were sitting still and spawn camping this one spot.

i've noticed that a lot of times bullets don't go through the leaves of trees and plants, which really sucks. so maybe thats what happened, but i was in an open space, no leaves in front of me.

If the tank was moving, then it was probably because lag. Your screen may show your crosshairs on his head, but the server probably thinks you're a little behind it. Must have been the 5th time that you aimed a little in front of where he was going.

the tank was just sitting still. could have been lag too, but damn was it annoying as hell.

I've seen something similar happend. Not sure if it's a bug, but I've seen the first few hits on a team mate not count for some reason. When I've had an idiot cross me while I'm firing long-ranges (semi-automatic fire) I see that it's not up until the third/fourth shot that it counts as an "attack" for some reason sometimes. Might be sort of an 'accident forgiving' system, though I've never heard of such a thing.
