I noticed something curious. On some servers, other peoples shooting on walls (while just straffing along) seems as staright lines. No randomness in the spread of the bullets from an LMG at all, while my bullets go all over the place.
Then, on other servers, it's spread from both my and other peoples guns.
Is it some kind of client side prediction or server setting that does this?

for instance, in TFC, if you're hit by a concussion grenade, your view is spinning and your bullets spray everywhere.. when, in fact, they're going straight (to everyone else).
the bullets should still have the hit/miss ratio (accuracy problems), they just don't appear to.
can anyone confirm this?...

I was like ...... and it did that for half an X too. Half of it seemed to shoot strait, then the other side seemed to be totally random.

I recall a discussion on a similar topic in the past that lead to the conclusion that higher levels of weapon upgrades have inherent with them a greater amount of shudder, but some players still reported not encountering recoil at all wheras others clearly did.
No, this is not the case. To recreate what we did, do the following:
Find a nice lit wall with a pretty colour.
Adjust yourself so you're about parallell to the wall.
Aim the lmg at the wall.
Press attack and strafe left or right without moving the mouse.
The other people on my team saw this line as a straight line, while I saw it as a lot of randomly placed bullet holes following what appeared to be a line. When the other people did the same, they saw it as a random line, while I could see the straight line.
However, I've only seen it on a few servers. (Actually, just one.) So I wonder what is causing this phenomena.
this is correct.

... But I don't think that will tell you where the actual "bullets" went. I can neither confirm nor deny the claim about the server representing decals differently, but I'm pretty sure the bullets spread (at least for the calculations' sake)
EDIT: and also, this+lag is why you might sometimes kill someone while you're reloading(barely started). Or maybe this just happens to me and that other guy I met.
But the curious thing is: Why doesn't this happen on every server then, just a few?
Was it the same for you tankefugl like could you just shoot at one spot or did you have to strafe and attack?
An answer to this would be really good.

It's an option to reduce lag.
Read that somewhere here in the forum...
