Is it easier to die when you run away?

I have this hunch that when you run away and around a corner, the game gives the shooter a few extra bullet hits, even though the person fleeing is already out of view. I'm not talking about splash damage, nor do I think it's lag. Do you ever think you've made it out of a person's view only to be killed right after that?

Could be lag, but it never seems so for me.

If you die around a corner its lag.

you sure you didnt just get killed as you were cornering?

or maybe there was someone else who could see round the corner and shot you?

This is one of the few things I'm just sick of.
I'll be completely around the corner and get killed. but it's happened with me being the shooter as well. they'll be around the corner and all of a sudden it'll say "you killed *name*" long after I stopped shooting.

I'm think it's something to do with lag. Kinda like you shoot two point-blank bursts of the M16 into the chest of an enemy and a second later they'll die. It's like a late reaction, or slow piercing bullets lol.

speaking about slow reactions i love it when you shoot a second bullet as a sniper into an enemy thats far away for bullet drop still close enough to see his helmet and see him run for a second or two before the bullet catches up. Its times like that where the realism hits me

Yes I have had this happen to me several times. It kinda sucks since you worked hard to stay alive only to die once you are presumed safe.

i think that they didn't hammer down the physics just right so i think that when you run around a corner it may just go through and kill you, but just a hunch no idea on how to test it other than to play and see if it happens

hit box delay , this vid demonstrates in cs's but im sure its similar to bf2 and the way its built

the boxss always used to be approx a metre behind when the game first came out

I hope your being scarcastic about those "extra hits". There is no way the game gives the guy free hits because you turn around and run. I've made it around corners with low health many times and its saved my life. I've also gotten killed many time when I though I was safely around the corner.

Most of the time its lag, even if you've got a ping of 20 it doesn't mean the guys shooting you does. If he's lagging, you're going to die late. Then there's always the possibilty that it was in fact some other guy at a different angle, but you can usualy tell by what your killed by and who it was.

Finally, I realy doubt they messed up collision detection on the corners of walls. It works everywhere else, why wouldn't it work on the corners? There ARE objects that you can shoot through, maybe what you ran behind wasn't as bulletproof as you thought.

Yes, I hate that. It's really retarded and they need to fix it.

I have
Could be messed hitboxes or lag. But ive suffered the problem running behind 40 foot thick solic buildings so its not lack of pulletproof cover
