I have been very pleased with the the way the game registers hits. once you learn how to effectively lead your shots to compensate for ping it's pretty easy. I wonder if the majority of people complaining about hit reg just don't take that into account when playing... At any rate, anyone who wants to complain should just play CSS for like 5 minutes and they should be find with the way this game registers hits.
This problem doesn't occur (noticeably, at least) at ranges outside of 10m. It always happens in CQC, and it doesn't matter where the person is, what stance they're using, cover, move speed, period.
I've come up behind riflemen standing next to a window aiming outside and shot them square in the helmet with an aimed shot. Nothing. It's very difficult to reproduce regularly, but it happens enough to totally screw me at least once a game.
Just used a random picture as an example but maybe another issue with hot boxes maybe this, a person hits someone in the arm where i have shown on the picture, and the arm blocks the chest from being hit and being a lethal shot, where in reality it would go though the arm and still hit in the chest?
If this is true, this could also be a reason with it taken up to 3-4 shots in limbs and hands and not very visible or noticeable effect on a non lethal hit
This -might- have to do with some of the issues, but again, I've lined up head/torso shots from 5m away on an unaware opponent and had absolutely nothing happen, despite the fact that there is a dust cloud kicking up on the other side of their face, where my bullet -would- have hit if it had penetrated their skull. There have been plenty of occasions where the position of their arms wasn't a factor.
Wow this has never happend to me... If some of you guys are experiencing this must be a gamebreaker. Problem is we can't see what ping he's playing on. Could this be related to particular servers? Do you get this every game you play no matter server ping etc?
Doesn't matter what ping, or how populated the server is. I've had it happen to me at 50 ping. I'm almost positive it has little if nothing to do with network connectivity or servers, as it'll happen with 5 people on the server, it'll happen with 50 people on the server.
It gets worse with 50 people on the server, but that might just be because there are more opportunities for it to screw you out of a kill.
Is it just me or are the sights adjusted for like 300m?
Not sure that would matter at those ranges. Even then, I've had it happen to me with the rifle sights at 100 and 200 degrees (my usual settings).
And I use 1680x1050 res.
