It lags or when the game is being held by a terrible host.
Hitmarker: When a shot penetrates your opponent and small indicators appear around your crosshair’s to let you know that you’ve hit your target.
Remember back in Halo 3, when you’d be putting shots into someone and he just won’t fall down? Yeah, with hitmarkers, we’ll know for sure we’re hitting them and know for sure if the game has a bad host.
I’m just a bit worried about that and I think dedicated servers, [even though they will not be implemented], would fix this issue asap.
Fun Facts: Jokes like this will start appearing again:
“Dude, that guy is taking more shots than an Irish man on Christmas!”
“Dude, you must be really hungry.”
“Eating all my shots!”

Indeed, but they could. It was merely a suggestion.
