for the last 2 weeks or so ive noticed that ive been gettin out br'd quiet frequently . at first i thought well im just haveing a bad game but now i dont think thats the case i mean you dont have 2 weeks worth of bad games i realized this when i was playing team slayer br on zanzibar . i was getting out br'd nearly the whole game and usually i can get 4 shot kills 9 out of 10 times .well i happen to come across some 1 that apparently had better things to do than play the game you know hes just standing there probly went to tha bathroom or something so i decided ill do a lil experiment . i lined my br sights up directly on his forehead at almost point blank range and i squeezed off 4 bursts . but still he didnt die so i waited till his sheilds recharged and tried 5 bursts . still he stood there and finnaly afyer 6 bursts to the head i killed him no wonder i was getting out br'd so i checked my handicap and it was fine and i was green bar when i did my little test ha sthis been happening to any1 else could there be something wrong with my console or disc causeing this i mean i aint no hardcore player but still its a lil annoying

That's very odd. The normal troubles caused by latency and lag really only apply to moving players, as the discrepancy between what you think you hit and what the host thinks you hit is caused by the player being slightly off where you think he is. I can't think of a single reason why you would ever take more than 4 shots to kill when both of you are still and you are right in front of him, when you have green bar. Have you tried testing it in split screen, that would show that it's a connection problem. Even if you have green bar you might be losing packets (network data) here and there.

Aim at his chest 3 times. Then shoot the fourth at his head.

If that doesn't work, well something is messed up.

Sometimes you can be green bar and still have a host that basically steals all the BR power. Ive had games that my friends will complain that their BR has no power whatsoever while im shooting half way across Coagulation. Ive also been on the crap end of this on the smaller MLG maps where I know I was getting headshots and it takes about 6 shots to get the kill.
