Yep; I call those "lag kills". You can tell that was the cause by watching the killcam: if to you it appeared you got the drop on the guy and unloaded on him early, but the killcam shows you in his sights first, you just got "lag killed". It happens a lot. IW and Activision = big fat FAIL with their host determination process.
