Happens in quakeworld too :) its just lag

the guy died with a rocket and still got the kill with the shotgun after he died.
he died from the guy respawning (there’s a respawn spot just behind him), not from a posthumous shotgun shot. when this was created there was no lag compensation in QW.
Surely this is easy to test? Get two scout down to less than 10 health either end of badlands mid, count down on mumble and shoot scatter gun pellets at each other?

there’s no way they’re gonna shoot at the exactly same time.
you can do it with bots

Sounds like a challenge…
Pretty sure that the scout’s scattergun is projectile-based. So it’s plausible.

Proving that depends on how anal you want to get about “exactly the same time”.
Exactly the same time isn’t that relevant really, the question is can two scouts kill each other. I reckon watching demo’s you can see the pellets flying out of the gun in slo motion, so that means there is a time lag between firing and hitting….mebbe.
So I say two scouts on opposite trains badlands mid, less than 10 health each, countdown on mumble and both fire 1 shot as close to the same time as possible, see if you can get both dieing.
Might take a few attempts, but I’d make a gentlemans wager it can be done.

those are just the “tracers” and they are unrelated to hitting the enemy, hitscan is instant regardless of distance. I’d say it’s not possible, seen a few vids with bots shooting same tick and BLU always won. imho even with major latency difference the final thing is done by the server and one guy will have died before the other guy and the shot will not register then even if you got it off from your pov.

Would be rather impossible. Even if this was possible technically (same tick or something like that) the humans wouldn’t fire at the exact same millisecond because of reaction times. Plus different pinging from mumble and stuff like that.
why is this the great argument of our time?
also Monkeh you’re experiment would need to be more controlled for it to be fair. that’s why bots are better.. and looking at the videos of bots seems clear the answer.
