PSA: movable objects are not synchronized between clients

So the box you are hiding behind might not be there for your opponent:

Whoa, that really sux. I wonder how many times we've all been killed when we thought we were behind cover but in fact, weren't?

I wonder if this is only for movable objects, everything static should be there for all players I would think. I wonder how static yet destroyed objects render from one player to another?

Good find Johnny.

I was going to comment on the difference in graphical settings and how this could be the cause of the box not showing up for the other player .
But then they switched around three quarters into the video , so there's goes my theory :s .

Some quite good info there; the clipping issues are known I guess, but at least the synchronization seems to only lack for boxes or smaller stuff you move around.
