    That's what I've been saying.

    Technically the first person to die loses, even if the other player dies a split second later.

    That shouldn't be a win/loss, that should be a draw.

    The person who Dgunned the enemy com in TA was always considered the loser, because he was stating defeat.

    But then the com that died must have also lost, cause they died, so two losses, no-one wins. I believe that is a draw.

    But nobody considered it as such, if you dgunned the enemy comm then both of you died, and if you were the one who had done dgunned them you lost, because you gave up.

    To be fair, i have not played TA, but in PA the goal is to annihilate everyone else, and if you die, you have lost, you can´t continue your quest of annihilation. If someone suicides to kill the enemy, that should be a draw. It should at least say "everyone loses", just not have the player which you suicided to kill be the one who wins.

    blowing up few milliseconds later than your opponent is not a victory.
