I was just wondering, why it seems that some of the skilled players seem to have advantages when it come to surviving hits in the PA, on several occasions, certain people can get mauled without dieing in the pa and when people bitch about it, they leave and come back then they are able to be killed. Is it a bug or something else? Every game can be hacked, and every game has been hacked. This is only 1 example thats getting people to scratch their heads at certain people, that seem to be able to do amazing things. Every game thats had staying power, eventually had to come up with a cheat detector. ( and yes i know about the hammer bug) just food for thought

well the theory that such a hack could exist is flawed, because every process involved is calculated server side.
I've been accused of similar hacks in the past and also had experiances where im SURE i should have hit somebody but didn't. But of course theres no point saying anything because its just bad luck/lag/mistimed/etc, and definately not a hack of any sort

hm i have the shield bug quite often (when you fire the shield gun but nothing happens)
and yes ... i also sometimes wonder why the hell i didn't hit sombody even i fired the gun in front of him - but i'm used to blame my internet provider for that

its lag. Its the same reason why sometimes you have to be closer to boost people from behind that others.
