Was this lag or did they bounce off the wall and kill people (team snipers)? I looked at the videos and added two, named Bankshots 1 and Bankshots 2, to my file share.
The second video shows a sniper rifle trail bouncing off of what appears to be 5 walls before stopping, but it still killed a dude not in the path of the bullet…then I missed AGAIN and got another random kill, lol.
I added them to my file share if anyone wants to take a look.
maybe its just the insane bullet magnetism this game has.
It happens in the other games as well. I’m fairly certain it’s just lag.
My fastest overkill exterm in Reach was only possible because a shot that blatantly missed a guy (by blatantly, I mean more than a spartan distance away) somehow pegged him in the head.
It might be on my fileshare. If it was anything similar to that (such as, you miss by a couple feet and still get a kill. You can see the guy fall down and die, but your bullet didn’t hit them) then it was probably lag.
Nah, I never hit the guy I was aiming at, both shots killed two teammates near him that I couldn’t even see, lol. The first shot especially seemed VERY odd. The bullet trail wasn’t even anywhere near him after 5 bankshots off walls, but he still fell. He was probably…about a warthog and a half distance away from where the trail of the shot ended.
It’s frustrating but it happens. And it always feels cheap when you benefit from the lag and get that kill that makes no sense.
The thing I hate is when lag or a bad host or whatever makes it feel like my gun is shooting marshmallows - you know, 7 BR bursts, all headshots and the guy just keep on running sigh…
