Weapons effects not matching hits?

[BadAim]

I wonder if the extra information being transferred with the new patch could be pushing already marginal connections "over the edge" to packet loss. I'm not even sure if there is all that much difference. One thing for sure is I've seen very strange things online plenty of times before. (this is one of the reasons I take "cheating" reports with a grain of salt)

Edit: Damn good point Luno!
