(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); How come the sniper bullets in this game have a inch extra damage width than any other gun?What I mean is that a sniper can shoot and be aiming 1 inch away from you and you still die?What is the reason for this?Many times in nuketown when it did excist I noticed snipers aiming way off target and getting a 1 shot kill.Even went back in theater mode just to confirm and noticed that?


** and by inch I dont mean "scoped" inch i mean inch on your tv so if our bodys measure 2 inchs a snipers buller would measure 3 inches there for giving a huge advantage to QS.I have no problem with that with legit snipers who sit there and actually sniper as that takes skill but QS is a no skill way of sniping**

*Disclaimer: This may be wrong but you get the general idea*

Latency is the delay between sending data to two points. As a result your online game needs to factor this into the game or you get some pretty messy results.
IF you played online games back during the starting days you saw how messy the stuff could get. Not having any factors meant you needed to aim in front of people or behind it depended on who you was aiming at.
Yeah.......not very clean or smooth.

Accurate weapons say snipers go test it on LAN or in other words offline mode with bots. Your see you need to be pin point to get a kill. So what happens well no latency in offlline compared to online.
Trust me I seen some pretty BS stuff due to latency.

The reason is it done is because latency flips around as a number and not everybody has the same latency to each other. For the most part it works but sometime being on high latency can be quite painful.
Matchmaking is also a factor if you pair people with the wrong people the latency can be all over the place.
