It happens a lot with Vassili. I clearly hear my weapon shoot and I hear the headshot feedback but I don’t get the kill (0 damage registers). This happens more frequently on Euro servers (obviously), but it happens quite frequently on NA servers where both players have less than 50 ping.
Video will be available here when it’s done uploading.

did the big spawn shield icon above their heads not give away they are invulnerable?
I thought about that but the kill before that registered fine. It happened another 3-4 times last night with vassili and it’s always just before I die (and not always on freshly spawned meat).
Possibly latency/tick rate related?

lol watch the video back slowly… every shot that hits kills (even the one where you kill trade at the end)…
There is a situation where hit sounds do not count as hits and your right it is as you die. That is because hit beeps are processed client side meaning it can give you the hit on your computer but you are already dead on the server. Its actually really hard to prevent that from happening and in an attempt they have added a barrier for damage (ie why you can kill trade). So, I don’t know what they can do to prevent it.
Nice sniping by the way.
I actually didn’t get credit for this. I landed two HS after the backrage kill on the covert next to the elevator, but only got credit with one kill.
It also wasn’t a kill trade - I landed a headshot on the medic out front and got sniped by the person in the back. But yeah, agree that it’s one of those things that will probably never be perfect, it’s just frustrating that it happens so often.

ah ok just zoomed in and your right the last kill you was given but you was killed by someone else. The only issue in that video is that you shot someone with a shield… the second person you shot you finished because they was already dead…
You can get not registering hits because someone else kills them as you do or because you died as you shot.
The other time is down to that revive/respawn shield.
It happens quite often when no where near spawn as well (for reasons already mentioned) - that might not have been the best example
Pixel is right though, I can’t see any examples in the video where you didn’t do the correct damage, would be interested to see a video that does show the issue you describe though.
