what the hell did i just watch?

after several similar events last night, i saw one so extraordinary that i had to record it and rewatch.  how is this even possible?  i wish i could slow it down but it isn't even necessary as the silliness is so apparent.  what is the real culprit here?  i went back to the gen because of the random explosion, believing a teammate was on the other side and may be able to heal me as i didn't have self care yet.  #########?

    That was most probably normal lag, I don't think lagswitching can be performed so quickly

    It's a bug when there is a skill check coming when the gen is completed. I've seen it happen a few times.

    i didn't think it was a lag switch but the part i am referring to is the juke at the end.  i do a 180. wraith begins swing where i am first at and then finishes swing 180 degrees away at polar opposite side.  makes no sense and i saw that a couple times last night.  this was the best angle to see such of all of them.

    i can't post the link.

    here is the theory.

    Written by Mike Metier - Call Of Duty Hacker.


    "After two weeks of exhaustive study, and pouring through thousands of lines of code, I have finally got the proof I need to bring this conspiracy to light. The programmers at Infinity Ward are good, but I'M better. Do not worry, all will make sense shortly...

    Have you ever been playing MW2 and thought "that's not right, I shot him first!"? Maybe you ambushed an enemy from behind, blasted him with 5 rounds to the chest, and then he spins around shoots you once in the foot, and you die? Everyone blames lag. Well, it's NOT lag. It's something far worse, and it just may signal the end of "fair" gaming forever.
    While investigating the recent claims, and going through the code of MW2, I made a discovery in one of the subroutines of the game AI. It's called "spfg.exe" (we'll call it SniperFrog since all will make sense just bear with me) and it's an AI subroutine that "evens" out the game by lending additional AI resources to a player, or by limiting the player in really cheap ways.
    For example, you ever start playing really good, and suddenly you go on a death streak where you can't even barely MOVE without getting killed? You'll get slaughtered like 5 times in a minute? That's the SniperFrog program in action. Alternately, maybe you'll have been having a rough streak, and suddenly you'll go on an amazing killstreak and it feels like you can't do anything wrong? Again, SniperFrog.
    The SniperFrog program is meant to "even" out the game. So that ALL players can feel like they're  awesome at some points, even if that has to come at the expense of other players doing poorly. It's a plan by IW to sell more copies of the game. You CAN disable SniperFrog by going offline, SniperFrog is dependent on it's conscious AI mainframe to work and it's only available online."

    i guess there is no real consequence for flagging for those obsessed with it.  i may have to get in on the fun myself.  joking.  i don't need to.

    Requires a single person to flag you like ten times in one thread, a certain few someones really didn’t like me, and wasn’t able to post for a good few days after they flag waved me.

    wow, really?  so the "powers that be" are not amenable to logic then?  i may have to reconsider all this then.  people just randomly booted out because someone knows how to make noise.  interesting way to run the asylum.

    I’ll gladly fly into a jet turbine with the FABULOUS cape I’ve made from the flags!

    There was another Survivor over there. You just have to look by the locker when the generator is completed. It was just a basic Dwight over there.

    You can also hear the cranking in between of another person cranking if you listen closely, because I hear back-and-forth cranking, signaling that two survivors were on the generator. Also, when you went down, you see the nearby Dwight? He was the one on the gen with you. He just walked after it was done.

    ah, ok.  i should have known.  that amoeba had been meandering about aimlessly the whole match for reasons that he himself could probably not even pinpoint.  this is what i hate about rank as it is now.  the way randumbs play is so unpredictable and contrary to even the loosest form of unity or teamwork.  yet, a toll is taken on the solo survivor.

    very good.  thank you.  the part that confounded me though was the 180 i did with the wraith.  slow motion isn't even required to see it.  i won't lie, i have benefitted from the same as killer but...it doesn't look....legit or like something that should even happen.
