Please explain this one.
ERROR

Aim Target _ Get Tag Pos.
Cannot find tag.
[j-head] on entity.

Got this error message when trying to reconnect to game after being the last opposing player to leave previous server that had a blatant hacker, walling all over the map.

Yeah I do that every time before I play these days.

It's just that I've never seen that error message before and just wanted to know what it means if anyone knew.

I'll tell you what it means (If you haven't figured it out already.)

You said a hacker was in the game right? I bot you more than anything the hacker used a headless mod that removed his head model from his body. From my understanding how the body models and hitboxes in MW3 work is they generate "tags" A head tag (j-helmet or j-head depending on the system), a body tag, and limb tags. When you look at an enemy, you, the client requests the tags from the server and they are sent to you. (Get Tag Pos) This way when say, you headshot him, the game correctly registers it as a headshot, but in this case, since the enemy hacked the game and removed the head model, he also removed the head tag. So if you tried to headshot him, the game has no clue on how to place the bullet because apparently the bullet hit a head that wasn't there to begin with so it boots you out of the game and gives you that error message. It can also happen if you so much as look at him because you are aiming at him (Aim Target) And it generates that error when you the client try to request the tags because again, the head does not exist when it supposed to exist. So if you do run into a hacker running the headless mod, i advise you leave the game immediately and if you can't or won't. try to avoid all contact with the hacker.
