Packet loss and death


If you've been online gaming for awhile you know that sometimes small packets of information get delayed or never show up at all on your computer. In PS there are often times you won't recieve a kill notification for a minute or so. Sometime it can lead to some humourous or WTF moments.

Like when your just standing around with some team mates around the equipment terminal indoors and Bam! sniper shot threw the skull and you drop like a fly. Never mind the fact that the battle was over 5 minute ago. Or how about getting in your Lightning and drive around kicking ass, drive out in the middle of nowhere and jump out so you can hack a tower and Bam! Bam! Bam! Reaver rocket spam from a Reaver that must have killed you 5 minutes ago and you curl up dead next to your Lightning that for some reason remains intact and you are able to retrieve it after you respawn at a nearby tower. I've had both of these happen to me and at the time it was like WTF! How often does this happen for the rest of you?
