Last night I was lucky enough to join FiZzoR for some trials on his steam when this happened. At first I thought that I just traded with the other guy, then I saw the feed "BRUTALBREAKD0WN IS DOWN"... Did I snipe myself? How on earth did that even happen?
I'm not exactly sure what killed me, does anyone have any ideas?
EDIT:
A lot of people think that we just traded. There are two reasons why I don't think this is the case. Firstly, it doesn't give him the kill, it just said "BRUTALBREAKD0WN IS DOWN". Secondly, he was using the 1000 yard stare that everyone gets from the taken war quest which comes with firefly. If he killed me it would have had to have been with a headshot, which would have caused firefly to proc.
My current theory (although it still probably isn't completely correct) is that sniper bullets have more than one active frame in which they can deal damage. This explains why a ton of collateral sometimes just don't look right. Maybe lag extends this period or something. Either way I think that I sniped him, then strafed behind cover whilst the bullet still had active damage frames, during this time the bullet ricocheted off the box thing in front of me causing me to snipe myself. It's not a solid theory but so far it's the best thing that I can think off other than "I just died for no reason when I fired my gun"

No you traded, it's just a stupid glitch. It happened to me a couple times during trials.
-
I'm just glad your name is \m/
-
It was xylar lol
-
It must have something to do with the map. A lot of people are saying it happened to them too
-
That's awesome
-
I had that last night! Guy traded with me but it just put him down and I didn't get the kill.....weird
-
Lol same thing happened when I was doing trials friday, I went to snipe a guy and as soon as I pulled the trigger he shot me as well. Maybe it's the game not knowing that a trade happened so it counted it as a suicide
-
Must have been a... [b]BRUTALBREAKDOWN[/b]
-
Only thing I can think of is skip rounds
-
No the glitch gremlin did it... :p
-
Skip rounds maybe?
-
Haha oh dang! Those ricocheting rounds though.

I was watching his stream last night. Don't know if you're the one that was playing with him. (Though now come to think of it I think I heard his teammate said something to the extent of sniping themselves) OT: Fizzor is awesome to watch. He talks on a completely different level. I don't learn as much from other streamers. While they're great in their own way, they often superman 1v3 the entire time (thus I cannot even come close to emulate). Not to say that Fizz doesn't do that also. But he often overlay w his comments about teamwork and what the other guys can do to enable each other to do their best.

I've had that happen. Sniped someone with no land and it just said I was down. It said I died by misadventure. It was ridiculous.
-
I would say your download speed is just fast enough to where the game registered you killed him (at the same time he killed you) but it happened so fast the game didn't register the kill to the opponent. [spoiler]Just a theory[/spoiler]
-
Huh. Cool.
-
It looks like the bullet bounced off good head
-
Lol you killed yourself before you killed him
-
-
Well done, my day has been made. #MoTW
-
Assuming your using the quest sniper with skip rounds then your just unlucky, I've done that mid raid once
-
Yeah mate this happen to me and I've already seen people post about it also. Yesterday was the first time that ever happen to me. The team we were playing were laggin quite a bit when it happen...was your game also? I'dk if it's the map or if it's just lag, never happen before patch/thisweekend.
-
Double headshot from one bullet. Nice.
-
That map has been really glitchy, probably due to the unusual physics of antigravity.
-
The bullet bounced back
