MW2 (PC) Death-cam replays are all wrong...!?

Its the same every time.  I see a target at the same time he sees me, we exchange fire.  But on the death-cam replay, it looks like i'm turned away from him standing there like a jack-ass.  I know that didn't happen... I was there.

So whats up with these replays? 

Is the lag really so bad in this game that it just flips a coin and decides who dies?  My thought: Sure it considers your aim, but factoring in lag it just chooses one party to die and then adjusts the replay to fit that story.  I don't recall FPS games of the past having to use this system.  Is the internet so 'crowded' now that you can't even run a FPS game like in the old days?

     First, thanks to your 60$ contribution to kill PC gamming.

     

    Long version:

    Probably theres like a "window" with netcode data [DDDDDD], that window is filled with downloaded data (e), and predicted data (p)    [EEEPPPPP] ,  you screen is rendered based on this, mostly predicted data. 

    But wen you render the repetition,  probably you get another window  [EEEEEEPP]  so what you see on the screen is different. 

    What you see on your screen, and on the other screens is different. Everyone see different things, your ping (100ms?) mean how fast stuff is sincronized to each another, from-to the server. 

     

    Short version:

    Thats how the server has see the things.  Get a better ping  ( <90 for a FPS )

    haven't had that issue with replays but i am playing the xbox360 version, but i have just asked a friend prior to writing this reply and he said he has sometimes xperienced your issue.  On the replay system though, it also shows whos cheating in the game as well, pity you can't do much about it though..and also cheating is soo rife its just not fun playing online anymore, i just play special ops now much more fun.
