[0.957] Possible Minor Bug - Kills not registering in stats
Posted: 2010-11-29 09:10
This last session of PR I played, I killed two enemies at close range w/ visual confirmation, but did not receive points for the kill (even after checking back more than 30 minutes later). I considered whether a teammate had managed to kill them at the exact same time (as often happens), but none of my teammates were in a position to have made the kill in either case.

Muttrah incident:
Had scoped riflemans kit and my squad boated into the docks. engaged an enemy squad that had rushed to the warehouses. Surrounded their building, but came upon an enemy that was lying prone outside between two conex boxes. He had not seen me, so I scoped in and pumped shots into him within 4 meters and watched his body go rag doll. All of my teammates were on the other side of the warehouse. We wiped out his squad minutes later so they could not have revived him.
Iron Eagle incident:
Was defending Alkomin as MEC Marksman. Had an israeli squad dropped by BH in behind us, but I managed to flank around behind them while they were in the tall grass. Saw enemies less than 100m away rushing toward my squad, so I scoped in and fired on semi at them. Most ducked for cover, but one was confused as to where the shots were coming from so I managed to take him out, watching his body ragdoll. Again, my teammates were elsewhere and at the time were not firing at this squad. They did finish off the IDF squad and came to heal me as I had been taken out while foolishly moving in closer than my weapon was suitable for.
I know kill score isn't all that important except for bragging rights, but given the fact that I visually confirmed these kills at close range when no friendlies could have taken the shot, I'm going out on a limb to say there was a bug somehow in registering the kill to my score.
