[realninja]

i have been killed 100 times with headshots by ppl far away in windows strafing side to side ,making them impossible t o hit .. how can they do headshots from 150+ when moving like that?
thats gamebreaking if anything is

I don't know. I'm also strafing... but just before I fire a shot I stand still, shortly after that I continue to move again.

Maybe you just experienced the same?

Are you sure it was that person who shot you? there's up to 31 other people on the battlefield.

If you are not exaggerating, which is very possible, that kind of shooting to me sounds like someone using an aimbot. I encountered aimbots almost immediately after beta was released....

Maybe you just went up against a player or players that are trained in shot leading? This game models ballistics so you can't just shoot at the perfect spot someone is in when they're running and expect to hit them, you have to lead your shots. In a previous unit I ran, I trained the members and we had specific drills to help them learn how to hit moving targets, and after we would do those drills, they got fairly proficient at it.

Bullets are faster than you. 150m is nothing.

Some of the posts here have been valid points, but it still is possible to continuously sidestep back and forth while shooting. I've seen it done quite a lot so far in the beta.

But I'm sure real soldiers were taught to circle strafe an enemy boss, in order to stay out of his bayonet range while maintaining aggro.

I'm not worried so much with whether or not it is possible to do IRL, or any other such arguement. What I do wonder about is, is this the type of tactic that should possible in RO2? It seems just too much like "twitch arcade" tactics to sit well with some.

While I understand some people out there is by far capable of putting a bullet into your skull from 200 meters away, an aimbot may be another possible cause of what you are describing.

Anyway I find the moving targets not that easy to shoot, (depending on the distance, of course) but it's balanced, overall. At least for me.

He isn't talking about hitting a target that is sprinting through the battlefield, he is referring to people that continuously strafe side-to-side while shooting back at you.
