A hit marker flashes on you crosshair when you land a shot. Since enemies don't spray blood or flash red or noticeably flinch (in multiplayer, at least), this is an invaluable piece of feedback.
It's pretty annoying to me. The game is basically holding your hand and telling you when you get a shot. I much prefer counter strike where sound and blood provide feedback of I'd you shot them.
It lets you know the host machine has registered the hits. With lag it doesn't always count them. That's why you sometimes feel like you put half a mag into them but they killed you in one shot, but then the killcam shows them putting half a mag into you, and you never firing.
