one thing I learned long ago... never try to save a team mate on MP.
You'll end up getting bitten instead of them.

What ping does your friend have on the server? You can look at the ping by going to the Client Menu > Show Server Info > The ping will be the last number in the bottom right corner on the server info

I think it is due to how game unfortunately handles the packets. If it doesn't receive some of the data it decides to wait for it, rather than use the given one and approximate lost data to compensate.
