It's sort of lost prediction. Similar to when you use the lightening gun in quake 3 it moves the beam after you look. I had about 40 ping and it was noticeable and I'd only miss at the tail end of people. When I played on a 120 ping server I had to guess where they would be by judging movement. I didn't know UT3 had a competitive community anyway.Uzique wrote:

Then it's bye-bye UT3, the competitive community will all mass-quit, and they were the only guys keeping it alive in the first place.
Still at 1% download
The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.
shock rifles in UT have always been like that. u get a feel for the timing after a while. i guess it's not 'pure' hitscan.Fat_Swinub wrote:

Nope, they weren't. They did what most netcodes do with hitscan and go back however much your ping is and check if at that point you did hit a person.Aries_37 wrote:
