Was i a victim to the hackers?

So i logged in evntually after trouble from rocket launcher, i appear in the airfield. I start to walk up the airport tower stairs, grab some loot and feeling good. Then i hear footsteps, running, then... Boom the game lags out and after about 40 seconds or so i un-lagg dead by thid uknown user.

I respawn and no lag... Surely if it were server lagg the other player would of lagged too, therefore not be able to shoot me. My interet was running fine, no lagg. I believe it was some sort of hack, ive never got like come on like that and then have some shoot and loot me before it returns to normal. Very odd... Does anyone know if this is something dodgy?

Thanks

The lag could've been caused by a number of things (or even a combination of):

1) Client-side (is your CPU a piece of shit?)

2) Server-side (too many people trying to connect at once, physics overload, buffer overflow, too many entities not despawning)

3) Lag switch

3) Bandwidth (shitty ping)

4) DDoS (doubtful though)

I've never heard of a hack that would induce lag upon a specific player without affecting the entire server's performance for all connected players. May be possible though. :\

Thanks for the reply. Im running core i5 @3.8 ghz and 12 gig ddr3. My gfx is fairly good, i dont often get any problems with performance on arma.

I guess it could of been server but then the other player seemed uneffected and was able to shoot me. In the past server lag like that effects my buddies too and is serverwide. This seemed odd that the other guy was able to move as normal and kill me. Perhaps im just over thinking it but i thought id just see if anyone had ever had the same thing
