    I've never seen a case of any of the marine weapons firing through walls, as far as I was aware this is not possible, but a marine may be able to locate you behind a wall if they have researched Motion Tracking.

    Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they can't see you. Your model can stick out and you can still be shot.

    If you were standing near a building, it could have been a seige turret.

    What did they kill you with? I've seen people killed through walls with grenades, but only when they're standing RIGHT next to the wall, and only when the wall was very thin.

    Other than that, lag maybe? They shot you before you saw them come around the corner?

    Ive seen this alot... Its no big deal. I was skulk and i was parasiting Marines from a vent... I got hit a few times and ran. I died to the LMG when i got to the end of the Vent. Weird, but nothing new

    NS uses client side weapons, in your instance gwar due to possible large differences in pings they still were shooting you.

    The server itself was laggin bad, everyone had 300 ping, its slightly annoying when you make it around a corner with what seems to be 10 health, then die....

    You never made it to that corner though, thats the wonder of latency.

    Another explanation could be the fact that aliens, especially skulks, tend to stick out quite a bit. While it may look like in your view you are completely hidden, a marine may see your forelegs and be able to kill you. You need quite a bit of space in order to truely be hidden.

    You never really see your health drop... Just the funny "pop" noise when you die. thats only on servers near the "crashing point" <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
