I love all the people bitching about "FPS Mechanics" and how this game plays like crap... Honestly, I think this game plays FAR better than CoD does (since WaW, MW1 was sweet).
Hit Detection a known issue and is being improved, for all of you that don't know how it works, lets get educated!
Hit Detection currently happens server side, not client side. What does that mean you may ask? Well, quite simply put - when you shoot someone, your game tells the server, the server calculates whether or not you hit them (based on ping, bullet speed, enemy position, and various information) and then the server sends the results back to you, and everyone else in the game. This takes a little bit of time though, as the internet isn't magical insta-information-transfer device. The lower your ping is, and the lower your opponents ping is, the less you will have to lead them (leading is shooting slightly in front of them), because the information transfer to and from the server will happen more swiftly.
The fact that we are being moved from the current test servers we are on, to the actual EVE Singularity test server, means that server speed and connection times will probably be improved, resulting in better hit detection. |

Remember its up to us to get the the feedback ccp needs like complaining about not being able to break crouch by sprinting.
I personally really like the gun play right now, shooting feels natural, recoil is good, doesn't seem forced. The only real thing I'm waiting for as far as gun play, is more options for sights! I am not a fan of full screen scopes, I like iron sights and red dots much better. I have more of an issue with movement while running, why can't mercs turn their hips!? lol  |

I pretty much use Forge Guns, Shotguns, and SMG's, so they're all I have experience with - and overall I like it. Sometimes my Forge Gun shots don't register (or I don't get a hit marker) but that's fine, as hit detection is expected to be spotty on these poor test servers. If we still have issues like that when we are moved to Tranquility, then I'll start whining.  |

Eh, I just report the bug, and wont really mind it unless it turns out to be something they are outright ignoring, rather than something they just aren't currently giving much comment on. We will certainly see hit detection improvements when we are moved to SiSi, I'll bet you that. |
