He was behind me on my screen I was behind him on his screen probably. Then in the final push, he not only caught up to me on my screen but ran past me. That's not netcode. That's only possible if he was running faster than me. And I'm not talking about the teleport that happens at the end if the server thinks someone was ahead. I'm talking about just straight running. He overtook me and that's only possible with more speed not shitty netcode.
    There's a gif with that exact same example in this thread. Yes it's netcode.

    I mean you said it yourself, you were probably behind him on his screen. The jump forward is the snapback people are talking about.
    It sucks that it looks like you should've won but didn't but that doesn't mean they cheated. It's just poor netcode.

    I don't think you understand. Let's ignore the game mode for a second and just visualize 2 players running in a straight line. They both start running at the same time. On P1's screen P1 is ahead and on P2's screen P2 is ahead. On the server though they are both running side by side at the same speed. There is no way for P1 to pass P2 on P2's screen, and no way for P2 to pass P1 on P1's screen. The only way that can happen is if one of them is moving faster than the other. No matter how bad the netcode is, if we're running together at the same speed, then the distance we see the other one behind on our individual screens should stay the same. But he passed me, he went from being behind me to steadily being in front of me. It wasn't a snapshot at the end of round. It was as we were running up the mountain, he overtook me. That means he was running faster than me which isn't possible in this game mode. And my original exposure to this cheating was someone else that made it up the mountain WAY faster than possible. People are definitely cheating at this already whether you want to believe it or not. Just like they cheat at PvP. If there is a way to show off that you won something, there are going to be bad actors at play that cheat the system to try to look good.
