Had it afew times where ive been killed by snipers. However when watching the killcam the centre of the crosshairs arent even lined up on me, and the bullet should miss me completely. However I still die.

Is this just slight lad affecting the killcam or some dodgy goings on?

I've had the same happen to me!

The killcam isnt a direct translation of what happened more like the computer remembering generally what happened, also if your lagged out on your ps3 you probably did something but over the network with lag you probably didnt do it at all according to the 'real' data.

It ain't just snipers dude - it's all weapons...killcams do it alot...it's all in how it's processed, but not necessarily how you've seen it...it's not hax

Kill cam usually shows some offcenter nonsense. Remember when the 1887's used to be good?

Its not only the kill cams ... when watching others on Search I see the same thing ... They get kills and the sight is way off ... I figure its just lag or that its is just a game and if your close enough you get the kill .... seems to never happen to me though ... I get the sights perfectly on target and dont even get a hit marker ...

all snipers are dodgy, they don't even have to aim and they get you no matter how far away you are... i have been killed like this so many times when they quickly flick the aim without even seeing through the scope and would be an impossible shot but the bullet gets you nearly every time... is cheating

It's best to quickscope than hardscope... I get kills more often when I'm not looking down the scope, like treat it as a long range shotgun (PS3 and xbox only as PC doesn't have aim assist).

Basically, always aquire targets before scoping in... see someone then scope in when they are in the middle of your crosshair. Snipers who are always looking down the sights tend to miss.

I feel heartbroken waaa.gif
None of you like us snipers anymore! waaa!!!!!!
But in anycase, i've seen it happen too(although it's never happened with me glare.gif )
I always line up sight's like a good little sniper and take my time shooting. Speed isn't everything when you're a ninja sniper=P
