Half-Life 2: Deathmatch help

[Narkro555]

HL2 DM is very fun, but something odd is going on. Other people's weapons often seem to be WAY more powerful then mine. For example, this guy shot me with a standard SMG1 from a decent distance and killed me in less then a second. Then, I was shooting some guy in the head with that same gun at very close range and it took a couple seconds to kill him. All of the servers I go to are "VAC protected", which means there shouldn't be any hacking, but I don't know.

How is this happening?

EDIT: This is all on full health. I checked. A lot.

You're low on health.

You're low on health.

 

No I wasn't. I get killed like that right after I spawn, sometimes. It doesn't have to do with low health at first.

Sometimes servers are modded to make weapons do more dmg.

No, I meant against me. Like their weapon is MUCH more powerful then mine, even though it's the same weapon.

They're probably either hacking or very very good, since HL:DM seems to only have those two types of people anymore. Valve might not be paying attention to it since it's an older game.

Don't play an unbalanced DM.

[Starcraftman]

Maybe you are lagging. What kinds of ping do you get when you play?

[Flying Ace]

Don't play an unbalanced game such as this crap this is why it's free on steam for nvidia and ATI users
