Hey all,
I’ve been doing “Last Shot Swat” when DMR and Swatnums comes up for some time now. I have just recently noticed I haven’t been getting credits for last shots, although I know certain that I have emptied 14 shots for the DMR and 11 for the Magnum. I thought I was going insane for kills where I have dropped my weapon down to the last shot, only to not be rewarded the medal AND have an extra bullet in the magazine. That’s when I noticed the game duplicating a bullet. This is not a phantom bullet that is only represented by the bullet count, it is legitimately a 16th and 13th bullet for DMRs and Magnums, respectively.
I do not know for what reason this is happening, but it seems to be at least half of the time when quickly emptying the magazine. When firing slower, it seems to “remember” the shot count, therefore accurately represents the bullets being fired. This poses an issue to not only the reliability of getting down to final shot, but also, should a player wish to repeatedly fire their gun quick enough, they would actually be granted an extra shot.
Like I said, I do not know how or why this is happening (maybe server latency related?) but it is an issue and should be addressed. 343 or anyone else, any response towards this is appreciated. In the link below is a clip that nicely shows the bullet appearing.
Has anyone else encountered this issue?
