Headshot hitbox with sniper rifle is wierd
« on: July 22, 2008, 04:10:05 PM »
I play alot of sniper matches and I look at where I'm sniping and it's usually in the head and the dot in the midle of my aimer means its aiming at the head and yet it doesnt count as one it usually counts as a body shot, it's really starting to tick me off, I look at my films and see that it should have registered as one but it doesn'y any of you have this problem?

Lag my friend.....me being in the UK, I sometimes hit a body shot...doesn't even register - blood comes out but doesn't affect the player....damn lag. I've shot someone with all 4 bullets before and they've survived lol.

As for the head, last night I shot someone in the shoulder and it counted as a headshot lol, I checked back in theatre to look..and yup shoulder hit.

I've got used to this kind of inconsistency being from the UK, but I agree it is quite annoying...when I'm sat yelling at my tv that it was a head shot lol.

It pisses me off, too. What gets me is when guys kill me through walls and rocks. That really makes me mad.

The bullet registration, especially with the sniper is really lame. 1 out of 10 shots dont register for me even when i see the blood. And its definitely not lag most of the time.

It's extremely frustrating, but bungie is coming out with updates soon which I hope fix certain problems with the game *cough* AR *cough* but I won't say any specifics.
