Sniper shots to people falling in air

Spearful

Is it just me, or do the people falling in the air don't die or get damaged from AWM shots when you shoot them? I've had this issue for quite sometime now and I was very curious about this. Yes I do spike at times, but that is not the case here. Does anybody else experience this case or is it just me?

Bloodyfire.

Since they are falling, you need to shoot around their knees for it to register in there chest. Just one of the issues in the game that revolves around lag.

your ping also effects it, with my 200 ping none of my awm shots register, well barely

Ohh ok I see, ping isn't a problem for me lol. I have around 70 ping with 45 FPS so yeah, like he said its just a game lag effect

net code FAIL, at least if u got a good ping that is......
Falling targets are REALLY hard to hit in this game... MY fav is when the hit actually creates a response on the falling char.. for example blood and the little "tick/jerk" players do when they take a shot. but no damage is given... EVEN if u are following some one in kill cam youll see them take a hit but no damage.... The same issue happens when the shooter is falling and the target is still.

I have been playing Instagib mode on sci fi shooters sense quake 2. And any one familiar with this one shot one kill game mode knows that its all about hitting people while you, or others are flying thru the air. I know my skills in this respect. Having spend hours in low grav space maps. I KNOW i can hit a target while falling, or while they fall. hell i can head shot fairly easy when we both are in the air.. But in this game, i can count on both hands how many kills i have gotten when one of us was in the air..
