Head glitching is an issue. I have hit snipers who's heads were just above a hill top with my forge. Got the blue shield flash and saw the explosion, but nothing. They just sit there and plink my armor away.

As for the MCC snipers... They're like tower snipers. I switch to the free sniper suit available to everyone, shoot them till they quit spawning/landing there, and then go back to my forge suit. I've never had an occasion, except head glitching, where I couldn't pick a sniper off of an MCC if he was in a position to be able to hit me as well.

Well said, and I do MCC sniping too... someone who understands the 'if you can shoot me I can shoot you' rule.... unless that blue shield flash thing happens Sad

Someone was shooting at me with a Thales from their MCC, their shots repeatedly landed in front of me, I let them unload two clips before charge sniping them, its definitely ye olde head glitch bug.

I don't think people are doing it intentionally anymore though as its a matter of millimetres between dying and getting it right with a dose of hope the spot you are in allows it. Granted some fkers will go out of their way to make it happen though.

The forge gun splash radius nerf has not diminished my ability to kill infantry with it. Thank you.

Granted some fkers will go out of their way to make it happen though. I think part of that isn't even really head glitching though it's happening. There's also a rendering issue. I've seen, and shot at, mercs that looked like they were right there only to realize that they were behind the wall/building that appeared to be behind them.
