if not reproduce-able you might've been sniped without hearing the shot (long range)

That was my initial thought but the coincidence seems fairly odd since I was in a remote area, wearing protective headgear and happened to press esc at that very moment.

Have not tried again on that particular ladder as it is far NW of map but have been trying others.

I doubt he was shot. This happened to my friend while he was on a ladder in the red and white tower north of Balota. I think it's called Greenly or something, but regardless he was completely protected by the building and I was guarding the entrance. He changed his video settings and fell to the ground and died and his body soon disappeared so I could not recover his gear.

Thanks for the input Sandman. Guess I shouldn't have been tweaking settings for the perfect screenshot while on a ladder.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback, however this has already been reported.
