I know hit detection is awful, but this never happened to me before Uprising 1.2, because of the strafe speed increase. Since 1.2 I occasionally run into horrible CQC 1v1 situations, but this one was... atrocious.
Line Harvest, Skirmish. I'm checking the A-D hill side and I spot a sniper far away on the mountains. I'm using a GLU-5 and an SMG. I start climbing the hills, the sniper is still far away, and suddenly a red dot shows up on my Tacnet. I approach the enemy from a good position, but he spots me and opens fire with a full auto AR...??? WHAT THE F...
Too close for my GLU, still not close enough to do full damage with my SMG. Terrible, terrible situation. The distance is perfect for his AR and he's strafing like crazy, I can't use the GLU and there is absolutely no trace of cover on the hill-side. Both wearing a PRO suit, he's got less HP but a very short recharge delay, while mine is pretty slow. I noticed that because for the most part of the "duel" we didn't even hit one each other, we were strafing and jumping like brain-damaged people, dodging bullets like Matrix, it was so stupid and frustrating (and unreal). My health was dropping SO SLOWLY but constantly, instead he was able to recharge a little bit of his shields once or twice and I started going "panic mode", while he switched to his SMG, then back to his AR, then back again...! I couldn't believe it.
I swear it took about 30 seconds to kill him, I'm not even remotely exaggerating. I was still alive with 28 Armor.
Now you can say we both suck hard at aiming and everything you want, but the reality is we don't, or at least not that much. He went 13-3 and I went 8-1 that match, the game was close and full of prototype mercs... This simply does NOT ever happen in any other game I play.
How much would change with a better hit detection? And what about the strafe speed? Why exactly it was increased? This kind of 1v1 is really terrible, I do my best to avoid them and that's why I use tactical weapons over CQC weapons and mid-long range 1v1's are just fine...
Does this ever happen to you?
imho: the moment you panic'd was the moment you had decided that losing was attractive.
if he isnt hitting you effectively, and you are out in the open, use strafe to keep him on screen and look around as well. Get Your Bearings. That hill side has a couple of flat patches, but it also has alot of striations, predominately near the peak to the north and the towers mid map thru to south.
that being said, I have hated the duvolle with a passion for a long time now ... except when i have bothered to spec to lv5 to get it myself
