How come when u kill someone and u go away if you hit a wall and u die its their kill

[lordhades]

I hate it when i kill someone i try to go to base and since my health is low I hit a wall and die but they get the kill while it was clearly not. Also sometime when facing loopys u see that the missles never touch you but the get to do damage.

1) Whoever got the last hit gets the kill. This lasts for about ~5 seconds (?), after which time it counts as a suicide. This is mostly so players get kills for indirectly causing a guy's death. The most obvious example is using an explosive to knock someone into a wall, but also for players that deserve a kill because they were in a dogfight and their opponent dies after being chased into a wall or stalling out or whatever.

2) A hit is based on what the attacker sees (ala Counterstrike), not what the victim sees. Sometimes these don't match up. Occasionally you'll see the reverse - you'll fly through a shot without taking damage. The main reason it's noticable in Alt is because everything fires real projectiles... there aren't any hitscan weapons like most FPSes.

You're probably using Rubber Hull, right? If I do enough damage to you that your incidental fumbling around the base kills you despite Rubber Hull, I deserve that kill.
