BF2S Forums Getting killed by a dead guy

I've experienced something similar to that on Iron Gator.  This guy turns the corner and there I am waiting.  I unload about 7 - 10 rounds into what my reticule "says" is his chest.  He survives all but the last shot. (head I think)  When the smoke clears and I'm done cursing the accuracy, I view the wall behind my ex-target.

I swear it was like Pulp Fiction. (Jules and Vincent vs the G-Damn hand cannon)  I look and a bugs-bunny style outline of bullet holes is etched into the wall from where my bullets managed to miss this guy.  I couldn't have been more that a few meters from the end of the hall where he met his PKM demise. 

My resolve is to fire in shorter bursts. 3 maybe 4 bullets at most.

Edit: When it comes to the one shot thing, he might have a cheat or hack, but that gets hard to prove.

I have it some times to but there are classes that have armor MAYBY that explain why it comes but Im not sure. But have it some times too that some 1 shoots me and I Shot him and he`s killed it`s strange. It could be too a Bug. Im NOT FOR SURE.

What I don't understand, is how I can put five to ten rounds in some clown, only to have him drop prone fire one round, and I'm the one that dies.  I have Comcast cable and play low pings, and I have two gigs of ram with a 3 gig P-4 processor.  My vid card is kind of lame ATI 300XL 128 mb; but that should not make a difference.

I know I hit the guy cuz I see the dust cloud.  I'm not bitching about the younger guys with a faster reaction time over this old fart that I am, just the assholes I know I have the drop on and then I die anyway.  I die enough just sucking at the game, but come on five rounds from a PKM in the chest should kill anyone.

maybe your old and he was a younger guy/girl with faster reflexes

1. aim for the face
2. keep moving
3. move perpendicular to an opponent
4. dont trust your reticule, it lies

i found the biggest mistake to make in the game is to think that you have a guy beatin and he is dead, because many times i have found if you stop firing when you think he is dead, that is when you get messed up

Posted one before too U DRB_Black on the topic To those Veteran Players with 5000 Kills or More.

Same again!! There are some tricks that U can use fore example put a Medic bag or two beside U and U will be able to take some more damage. If this was the case at the same time, the other guy shoots U in the head, bang there U go!

If U have thick padding and a team mate put a Medic bag or two at U feet (beside U) U can take so much more damage. Maybe that looks odd in-game and U think it’s a cheat but it’s not. I use that all the time as Medic. Just make those Medic Bags keep coming all the time, fore U self and U team mates!!

I am 40+ and think that the game is fun and guess, hope that I’m not that bad??

Keep on practise and look at the other guys and copy what U think is good and U need to improve U game-play!!!!

All the Best and don’t give in !!!!!!
