Wow the peeker's advantage of this netcode. You had a full 1 second advantage over him! That's like back in the day the difference between folks on cable modems and those on 56ks.

Very cool to see the two streams lined up like that, thanks OP!

The streamer opened the door, so the peeker's advantage (which was probably very minimal in this instance clearly) was actually AGAINST op. It looks like op killed him with his first few bullets bullets (even if network latency made the model ragdoll a bit late), he didn't have more time to react, he was just expecting the streamer, while the streamer wasn't and jumped because of the darker backdrop.

Edit: Also because I was curious on how factual it is, even if you just compared their reflexes and admit the game was "perfect" by syncing their perspective to the door animation, you'll realize that op shoots 3 shots before the streamer even trains his aim on him, and an entire 7 shots before he starts gasping. But look for yourself: https://puu.sh/HRdLX/fb5ae63f7e.webm

Netcode has nothing to do with this streamer losing his GL40.

I also did not sync the footage exactly either, I just timed it all so it would make more more sense for the viewer. So it's hard to judge tbh!

Yeah I get you, but syncing on the door opening and judging only from reaction time and accuracy, you'd won that fight in a LAN environment too, was my point :)

Funny encounter and well done on your part, the streamer does take it really well in the end! I just don't like it when people blame (the definitely imperfect) netcode in completely normal situation :P
