Ok, a comment I made in a game the other night has been making the rounds thanks to some arrogant ying yang in the Face clan, and I want to set the record straight.

I observed long ago in CE that bullets don't always fly at the same speed for everyone. On some occasions, in fact, they zip across a map at incredible speeds for one or more players. I used to think it might be a hack of some sort until one day it mysteriously happened to me. I joined a game and bullets came out of my pistol in a fraction of the time they usually did. They also flew across the map almost instantly. I was wiping people out left and right, and I'm just a mediocre player. It's only occurred a few times for me since then but I've noticed other players benefitting from it as well here and there.

So as it turns out 2 other players and I were commenting on that phenomenon when the Face player realized what was being said and started mocking. Well, let him have his fun. What I observed is real... or as real as an FPS game gets.

It isn't just me noticing this. As I said, 2 other players were talking about it in that one game, and I've had discussions with others who agree this is a real deal. Someone had a theory as to the cause and I don't recall the details, but no doubt it was network related. I wish I knew what conditions caused it to happen for me those few times because I'd damn sure replicate them! I imagine it could even be a random glitch.

Anyway, if you hear anyone talking shit about this ([FBI]Addict was) then you now know the real scoop. If anyone else has experienced this and/or has theories, chime in!

Let the flaming commence...
