It still baffles me why people win whenever they do a roll...does it makes their opponent dizzy. Possible in theory since the other guy doesn't see the roll...but doesn't seem to be the case.

It's because Mel Gibson made that **** look cool back in the day.

It's probably like that because the hit boxes get even *more* screwed up.

Yes, this is why. The soldier who's rolling is considered prone while he's rolling as far as accuracy is concerned, but also as far as hitboxes are concerned. If you're looking at the roll from a third-person perspective, it still looks like you have a big target to hit (a rolling soldier is about the same size on the screen as a crouched soldier), yet in reality his hitbox is that of a prone soldier, so any shots aimed near the 'top' of the rolling soldier will actually go above him and not hit him.

this reminds me of the days of Quake 3 and people asking (in complete earnest) how to do a backflip.
