I actually just finished watching that. It was definitely a good video, and I strongly recommend that everyone watch it.

I've watched some Kill-cams where I had thought I had lost out in a close gun fight only to see that I was already dead before I had even turned to face the shooter.

No, this is not going to be the "Why do I get 8,000 hitmarkers and no kill???" thread you probably expected.

Actually, it's a different issue, and one that's only started appearing recently. Lately, I've noticed that I'll get a hit marker or two (or three), and won't get the kill. After I die, I watch the Kill-cam, and I never hit the other player. I never really noticed this happening earlier in the game, but in the last week or two, this has been happening quite a bit, probably at least once or twice per match.

So my first question is this: Is this something that's always been present and I just didn't notice it, or is this something that's only begun more recently?

Second question: Is this common? Are a lot of players experiencing this?

Third question: What could be causing this? Is it possibly something I can fix on my end, or just part of the game now?

I appreciate any and all constructive replies.
