Did... Did I just snipe myself?
Last night I was lucky enough to join FiZzoR for some trials on his steam when this happened. At first I thought that I just traded with the other guy, then I saw the feed "BRUTALBREAKD0WN IS DOWN"... Did I snipe myself? How on earth did that even happen?
I'm not exactly sure what killed me, does anyone have any ideas?
EDIT:
A lot of people think that we just traded. There are two reasons why I don't think this is the case. Firstly, it doesn't give him the kill, it just said "BRUTALBREAKD0WN IS DOWN". Secondly, he was using the 1000 yard stare that everyone gets from the taken war quest which comes with firefly. If he killed me it would have had to have been with a headshot, which would have caused firefly to proc.
My current theory (although it still probably isn't completely correct) is that sniper bullets have more than one active frame in which they can deal damage. This explains why a ton of collateral sometimes just don't look right. Maybe lag extends this period or something. Either way I think that I sniped him, then strafed behind cover whilst the bullet still had active damage frames, during this time the bullet ricocheted off the box thing in front of me causing me to snipe myself. It's not a solid theory but so far it's the best thing that I can think off other than "I just died for no reason when I fired my gun"

This map bro... I think the bullets ricochet off dead corpses that float and come back and hit you. Happened to me and a friend a few times. Sometimes they didn't even have a sniper...

Happened to me aswell, funny thing is this guy was far range and he didn't have a sniper so as I killed him I just dropped dead for no reason

Wow, in the head too. Sleeper suicides are pretty common but this...
-
2 RepliesWow. You honestly believe you sniped yourself? Lol. He obviously sniped you and the lag was so intense that they claimed it mis-adventure.

Edited by Thor: 12/16/2015 6:59:19 AMIt looks like he scratched that crate in front of you before he hits you. I guess that's why he wasn't rewarded the kill. Kind of like when you damage someone and they fall off the map later, giving you a kill

1 ReplyI've actually sniper myself with skip rounds in a bubble :/

Your sniper shot ricocheted, you can see it bounce off the wall. And you strafed right into it lmao. Every weapon has a chance to ricochet shots off of hard surfaces, try shooting a gun at the metal floor sometime.
-
I think it went through his head, bounced back and hit you somehow... ☺️

3 RepliesThat was a Brutal Breakdown of what happened. +1

If you didn't have skip rounds on it then idk. If yes this man deserves a medal

Han shot first, clearly [spoiler]it traveled through time and space just to kill you[/spoiler]
-
Lol wtf
-
Yes... Yes you did...

2 RepliesNo it was lag

Mfw free double kill

Skip Rounds bro. It happened to me multiple times in titan bubbles and being pushed so my shot hits the wall with my Efrideet's Spear. It bounces back to your head. It's the only explanation I can think of. Bizarre

I assassinated myself in Halo Reach, I cried laughing so hard. :|
