We all know lag can help others score flags, evade bullets, make hogs "flip" but really they don't, etc etc.

I encountered one strange thing today.

I was playing on a sniper's no shields BG server, and I shot four sniper rounds. Well, when I reloaded, instead of having 20, I had 22. I kept firing, and I counted 30 total rounds, (there is usually 24+last clip) but I got the two more shots and I had 30.

Thanks lag for the ammo, but now I hate you for having to make me quit :(

Anyone else get "more ammo" by lag?

modded server, or 2 of your bullets weren't actually fired according to server.

Ooh, I get this a lot, even before I went back to dialup (BAH!) because my network had unusually high latency (ping was fine, the network was crap).

The answer is, no, NO-ONE has got 'more ammo' by lag. Not even you.

What happens is, you fired two shots off when the server was lagging, causing your PC to register those shots but not the server: if you had 'hit' with those two, they wouldn't have done any damage: it's like firing blanks. I've fired a 'blank' at one guy standing still, and it did nothing.

Have you ever reached the end of a sniper clip (it looks like all four bullets have fired , but you have bullets in reserve) and the rifle doesn't autoreload? That's because there's still a round or two left in the gun. If you reload, a bullet will magically appear in the ammo display even before the reload animation has finished. If you shoot your empty rifle at an enemy and hit, you'll do damage and possibly kill them, even though your rilfe goes 'click' and there's no smoketrail.

This goes mostly for sniper rifles, but also for pistols. Sometimes rockets (ugh!) and most human weapons.

EDIT: Damn you for your short ninja-like posts, Nessy! Basically, the second thing he said.

According to other people's signatures, 98% of America has tried or is addicted to marijuana. If you are part of the 95% of the people who don't live in America, then add this to your signature.
