It's called lag and also called taking a break from the game when you think you deserve to win every showdown you are in.

Lag wouldn't make my bullets less powerful, just miss. I know when I should lose a 1v1 fight, and when they take sniper bullets I'm pretty damn sure I should win...
I see you nick him with your first shot and miss completely with your second.

True, but the first shot should have taken him out is my point. I realise I completely failed the second shot.
There is apparently a program inbuilt into MW2 called "Sniper Frog". It is something that apparently helps the lower skilled players get kills easier. I am obviously EXTREMELY skeptical as to its existance, but it would explain that, and some other stuff that happens in the game.

You lost the 1v1 fair and fair Xando. I've seen things worth complaining about, but that video you posted was NOT one of those instances. Sorry.

Fair enough... I just don't understand how bullets do different amounts of damage at different times.
Well if you hit him in the chest or head at that range, he would have dropped. I can guarantee that.

Probably, but I do hit him bang in the stomach area, and I've killed people with the same set up where I've hit them in the leg and they've been far away enough for it to be called a longshot. Just doesn't quite seem to work.

For all you know your bullet grazed the side of his stomach area and didn't actually hit in the middle. He also could have had the death streak perk that gives him more health when he spawns.
There's plenty of excuses and reasons for why you may not have killed him. I've seen my bullets hit people and blood come out 5 times and not kill them, then watched the kill cam and it showed me hit him once and then be facing the complete opposite direction.
There is a ton of lag in the game and it makes plenty of things look like something they aren't.
That being said...you were running side ways, quick scoped for a second while he was running at your from 15 feet away, and you hit him once. You should be glad enough that you even managed to hit him like that and get over the fact that you're not going to kill every player.

He didn't have painkiller on as it would have popped up when I hit him and in the killcam. And yeah, a lot of the time killcam looks completely different to what actually happens, and that is just lag.
But I always find that when I'm sniping, it's always the same 1 or 2 people on the enemy team who don't seem to take single shots... I'll see if I can record a full game of it happening...
And it's not too hard to quickscope people close range
Just to say in case it isn't obvious, I'm not saying all this because I care about my kill death or that I don't kill anyone. I don't care what my k/d is which is why I spend half my time pissing around doing glitches. I just think that this is something that shouldn't happen...

lol That is why I do not snipe and use my scar instead lol i get so many long shot kills with it in afgan.
yeah the clip you showed you really shouldn't complain about, you were using the auto-aim to your advantage and your hit points were below the chest area and on the side, both of which are non-lethal generally (and of course you were strafing). The game does take into account where you hit the person in regards to how much damage is done to them.

El Xando, you're not playing CS1.6 with AWPs on a dedicated server. There's always going to be lag in these kind of situations that to a normal player wouldn't matter but to a more serious gamer would definitely be noticeable and would cause things like that.
My advice is just try to chill out and relax a bit more. Enjoy the game.

And have some pretty funny things coming to my YouTube channel soon, including probably the noobiest possible way to get a nuke (apart from camping, obviously).

It couldn't be any gayer than two assholes who ran off t the corner of every map yesterday with tactical insertion and let each other get a nuke every other map.

I've come across some random twitching bodies before but usually dead and lying on the ground. That was kinda creepy xD Nice find, but probably not all that out of the ordinary.
