Im always one to complain about hitboxes on dod:source...here is a vid proving how terrible they really are. Sick of ppl telling me to aim better :@

aim better

Sounds like what was going on when CS:S was released.

To do a real test you need to make offline video with bots (if DOD:S has them), and use the show hitbox thingo.

thats why they invented iron sights

it's fine

learn 2 play


but seriously, the hit boxes do suck

yeah totally agree they suck cs-s still seems to have a laggy hitbox problem ive stop playing dod source atm.

I still think BF2 sniper rifles are the worst you can be prone and aim directly for the neck or chest and it will miss , not to mention the mountains of bugs with that game ive stopped playing its wrecking my experience of the game and ill continue to play when bugs are fixed still playing cs-s

that has been addressed before on steamforums. its the cone of fire not reg problems.

That video proved nothing. It's not CS - you can't strafe around randomly while firing and expect to hit anything.

ROFLMAO love the benny hill theme

Ive never had problems like that! maybe one or two rounds fired which i think should've hit but never an entire clip :S

To tell the truth i havent really come across any misses that should of hit, but remember that the guns have recoil so when you spray most times you actually miss when you think you should have killed them.

I have actually come across where i hit the shoot button but it dont fire until a sec or so later and it has happened to me a few times and when that happens i usually get shot in return.

you do realise bf2 isn't a laser game, like most games are. it actually has bullets as an object, which take time to reach their target, like in real life. learn to lead your target.

and when ur target hasnt moved and u should of got the hit there is sumthing wrong...

and guessing sum figures of the top of my head i think bullets travel @ like 800m/sec give or take

/edit i wasnt far wrong with 800m/s

Sniper

The hitboxes are fine. Just take more care to line up your shots.

well well well source engine strikes again, brings me back to the css topics exactly like this one ^_^

Madaz_ it all depends on the type of round, conditions, distance. but its about 800m/s's soon as it leaves the gun doesn't, stay 800m/s for ever but still u got no chance at dodging it unless ur reflexes move at over 800m/s or u can travel over 800m/s, which i doubt any human can do

cone of fire?
more like cone of spam.

lol thought the hitboxes were screwed too for a bit cause the other day I seen this noob standing in the corner of church tower and shot the **** out of him from 2 foot away and he didnt die so I thought oh! no..not BF2 again lol and to my suprise seconds l8ter while standing next to him thinking this, he then clubbed me with his shovel the *****. I then after awhile realised that you must be protected whilst in pause mode or menu or something lol.

Dookie - You have revived: This Thread - +2 Revive Points

LOL sooo many randoms on these forums.

Pablitos Way, it is people like you that don't quite "get" the idea of a WWII game. Use the damn iron sites for god sake. I know you are used to playing the original DOD which didn't have the iron sites, but for gods sake man, it's not an arcade game. Whats the point of setting a game in the 1940's when you have a magical little cross hair that helps you aim.

If you walk around like firing a rifle from the hip you aren't meant to hit anything.

fool.

u should camp,pab it really helps

LMAO Learn to shoot. As everyone else says, iron sights!

BTW, funny video.

Shh.... well.... actually it is...

pfft ive heard this a million times, noobs complaining about the hit boxes when really they cant aim.

go play rune scape noobaratchi.

It's not like you have an advantage/disadvantage. Every has to deal with the same hit boxes.

I found the hitboxes fine, a few misses (most likely the cone of fire) but the majority are a kill.

lol hit boxes are fine
u dont know what your tlaking about.

you sound like your saying "i dont notice ****"

well. ill tell u it aint fun when ppl who hve played this game know what theyve done to it. and yet ppl continue to offer poor support like "get some aim" its your rates" update your drivers" etc yeah whatver.

thers nothing worse that playing a game where u shoot bullets. FOR NOTHING i mean. the word REG ever only comes up on valve. EVER> no other game ive ever seen the word be mentioned.

its **** poor and the developers admited to doing it on purpose to stimulate NOOBS who want to be pocket warriors out of the box hax with flying random 100DMG 45degree angle thompson bullets.


let me tell u 1 thing. bullets do not leave barrels "un parallell" so wtf.

why aim. its not going to reg if your a fast player like me,

and no i wont slow it down slow it down to what stnd there and get shot while i dont get n e hits, also the only bonus i can say is . "**** im good at doging now," because of that,.... thanks valve.

HAHAHa, that is awesome bump.

Why would you even be reading the forum archives? Mother of Christ.

you're **** anyway ashyr

thats just an opinion,
wow everyone has one.

go play with your opinion. _b

so what if this is old post, pretty much shows there's been no change.

Actually, no one has even discussed the topic since 2006, hence the thread having been closed since then.

quick grab his legs! ill go get the chainsaw

ironsights are ****** now anyway

Thom was the only Oceanic player that used them (ironsights) properly, imo.

Also, terrible topic bump.
