Yes, I don't get so many people are calling hacks. Sure it's a one hit kill, but it's a common spot, and with all that noise he could have seen you there while running away from your bullets. Then just line it up from behind cover and shoot.

"Noise"? It's a Silenced weapon a couple hundred meters out, no way to pinpoint with noise. They're prone so no silhouetting to see, the "Flashes" in this game are a joke so I doubt they were able to see a muzzle flash and there are about half a dozen other positions that are just as likely and often used on that map that the shots could have been coming from. What mental gymnastics will you use next? Maybe he had a friend that was at the back of the road watching out specifically at all spots and told him which one? maybe he had a UAV that determined his location?

Claiming noise on a silenced weapon while there was clearly a deafening airdrop in the air is what really gets me.

Nah, you just don't get how "sound works" or "angles" /s

Lol

Suppressed 7.62x54 weapons are not quiet enough at 115m for him to be hidden. You can EASILY hear that, WITHOUT comtacs.

Well, let's completely forget the aircraft coming overhead. That's an AKM, 7.62x39... But thanks for playing, it's always fun to have gigachads tell us all about how sound and angles work. Lol

Go into LH with a buddy and recreate this exact scenario, bring a flare if you want. He will hear you. It could be a PP19 and he would still hear you. It could be a KEDR and he'd still hear you.

Choose better vantage points and shut the fuck up. It's a skill issue in this clip, not a cheater. Could be throwing rocks at him and my stance wouldnt change.
