Grenade Throwing When there really wasn't a grenade. (CSS)

[thegrb93]

I can't really understand why, but 70% of the time another player comes into view from an alternate visleaf, he does a grenade throwing animation, and I get the incentive to take careful aim and shoot at him rather than take cover because he has no gun when he is throwing a grenade. BUT, he isn't throwing a grenade its just a fucking glitch, so while I'm taking aim for a precise shot, I get shot in the head by an invisible gun. It also disorients me since sometimes their arm is blocking their head, so its like creating an imaginary meat shield to their head. If I can't see their head its a little harder to aim at. I don't remember if this happened before CSS got its big update, but I think it did, and I want it to stop.

Somebody please tell me this happens to you because I feel like I'm the only one that this is affecting, and I'd like to e-mail valve about it if it is a common error.

Never heard of it or experienced it, maybe you should reinstall due to have perhaps installed a bad mod.

I experience this quite often

Caused by lag, I presume.

It happens a lot and it annoys me quite a lot too. I hope they will correct it.

I used to get this aswell, I don't notice it that much.

Also, The quoted part is just silly. Their head doesn't move and you can shoot through their arms.

I get this sometimes, only with the reload animation.

Well, their arm is the first thing I see when they pop out and its so disorienting. Its like that shit people do in kung fu, where they wave their hands around to confuse you.

That's not how it works. The hitboxes work so that wherever your shot hits, that's the amount of damage it does. You can aim at somebodies head but if you shoot through the arm it'll only do damage to the arm.

Now I'm not %100 sure, but I think it may be the switch gun anim, taking the gun off your back.
