hey guys. just wanted to start this thread to see how many responses i get about the puff bug. i did search and didnt really find much on it. this bug is the one where you shoot somebody in the head, chest, anywhere and all you see is a puff of smoke, but the hit didnt register, therefore no damage.

this is soooo annoying!!! im a sniper and i can really tell when this happens, and it happens sometimes. it pisses me off because in close range combat, i try to fir a quick headshot. most of the time i get the enemy, but all i see  is a massive puff and they're still alive!!! GRRRRRRRR. i often die after this when it happens...

i was thinking about who would like to see this gone, perhaps in the next patch? (being 1.41 or 1.5 )

Actually, quite often the enemy is prone in front of me, so I start shooting their center of mass, get about 6 or 7 puffs (full automatic fire at 5-10 yards) and they have time to turn to me and fire.  That's a big part of my deaths, is when I know I hit but nothing happens.  And it's not the ping delay.  As I said, he was sitting still and I never got hits on him.

I have been on the receiving end sometimes too, where I get a hit, hear myself grunt, but I took no damage.

How do you know it's not lag?  Of course it would seem like it's not when it's on your end, since there's no delay for your computer to show the animation, but to the server and to the other person, that's when ping and lag come into play.

Well my accuracy wasn't the best to start with but just recently it's took quite a nose dive since the new patch. I've lost count of the times I've been 3 feet away from someone, let loose with the MG36 and and get nothing but dust.

I know it's not lag because the intended target isn't moving, he's been prone.
