Why didn't this guy shoot me? (Video Included)

[Metroid331 0]

So I was shooting people in Elektro and all of a sudden i hear a pop can being opened to my left (Turn up the volume if you can't hear it, its right after I put the second bullet in the first guy), I grab my gun and shoot him. The thing is, he was looking right at me and must have had plenty of time to shoot me, why didn't he? My sniper rifle shots are loud and it took me more then 10 seconds to switch to my assault rifle.

The only reason I can think of is that he was typing some sort of line into the chat before he was going to shoot me.

Also, turn down the sound after the shooting, the end music is really loud.

Don't make two threads. He did shot at you.

My question would be... Why did YOU shoot him?

[FaceAche 69]

My question would be... Why did YOU think we care about any of this?

WTH, i didn't make two threads, i just made one.

Also i shot him because he was going to kill me, they always do.

Maybe the soda sound was a "Pop" gun...?

Eh? Anyone? Okay, I'll go hide now.

Because this is DayZ. Not call of duty.

Not everyone is a KoS fag.

Honestly, he could have been waiting to catch his breath. Also, he most likely didn't drink the soda next to you. Sometimes when you bump into people, you will hear every thing they did since they logged in. Last time I met up with a friend I heard him drink 3 sodas, eat twice, gut and cook an animal, right as we ran up to each other. There is a sound lag for some actions, that will play for other players when you get close to them. Even if you ate/drank a while ago. I don't know why anyone would hesitate to kill you, no one should think twice about killing a hill sniper at noob towns.

Good post Buick72, didn't know that and it explains some of the odd sounds i've heard before CQC. Kinda like battlecrys......guts a cow
