Getting Killed-PS3

Codofwar

this has being happening a bit recently on cod4 which I never really noticed until now. Snipers killing me from a distance but when I watch the kill cam the crosshair wouldn't be aiming directly at me. One that has happened was in crossfire at the opposite end of the map, I was running across and got killed, fair enough I thought, good sniper getting me on the move but when I watched the kill he had aimed beside me but in the opposite direction so it was essentially behind me when I was still running.
Now don't get me wrong im not one of these sniper hating people and I can appreciate a good sniper kill but when the crosshair was not once over me and i got killed frustrates me, I also checked the connection and we both had 'four green bars' which means it couldn't have been lag really.

Has this being happening anyone else?
Sorry bout the long winded post.

Noticed in on PC also. But I think the killcam is only approximative. What you see is not exactly what the player who fragged you was seeing. I don't want to go into too much detail because I simply don't know why exactly it does this bu basically the latency (or "ping") will cause such inaccuracies...

Cheers, Very frustrating though when it looks like shooter wasn't even aiming.

Basically, the game generates the killcam using your stats and it what your game thought was happening, not what the other sniper was doing.

so even with two good connections there can be quite a difference.
