I was a lurm TBR with 2x LRM20A + 5x ERML + LTag, last one standing vs an SNPPC Javelin. Legged the dude at the final encounter, we're both about to die.

Yeah I lost, but it was so close of a match, everyone is ******* dead.

Thats not something you see often since weapons stop firing as soon as you die even in the middle of a burst. Rare game indeed.

I guess that's as close of a game as you can get lol.

projectiles can pass eachother in flight though. get those sometimes. you can also start an ammo explosion and get killed, then the other guy blows up as his ammo cooks off.

Right, but at the end of a match even that is turned off which is why you can sit there overheated when the game ends and not die. Same with if you were way up in the air on a jj leap with red legs you won't take any fall damage if the game ends. So for this to happen the timing would have to have been almost simultaneous. Too bad there isn't a recording.

No, the lost was due to the timer itself. Both died, thus win went to the team who had the lowest countdown. Did Messenger actually killed the Javelin or did it overheat and kill itself? If he had gotten off some missiles right before he died, and the javelin was still alive but not in the circle, then died on the last bunch of missiles, then the Javelin team would by default due to the countdown difference, just as it would have if the game timer had hit 15mins.

Yes thats the loss. But I'm talking about the timing of the kill shots. If one had died just one or two server ticks before the other the second mech would have lived due to end of match damage immunity. They had to have killed each other on the same server tick.

Well, the Javelin did kill me, and then OH.

would have had to happen on almost the same game tick or at least between whatever interval win conditions are evaluated.

besides its domination and you need to walk into the circle to end the game. it can come down to the last player with half a clanxl and a single leg way across the map and you would have to hobble your way back to the circle to end it. the only reason its not a tie is that there was probibly a difference in remaining ticks that put the other team ahead.

and ninja'd
