These two points are valid. I may be over interpreting but the first seems to tie in with the "hit detection" problem. Which might have a lot to do with latency.
Basically, when your sight or reticle is over the character model of your opponent and you fire, they take no damage. Sometimes it seems like the no damage is due to lag, since with various rates of fire a strafing scout can dodge back and forth through a stream of assault rifle fire and seemingly not get hit. But basically the hit box doesn't seem to line up with the animation of the character model with the reticle, scope, or sight.
So if you lead the target you are trying to guess where their hit box will be by the time your shot gets to where you think they are going to end up. Too much work. FIrst, scouts should not be able to run faster than the speed of your rounds. If they can then they are too fast and problem is less to do with hit detection than speed of round from gun to target vs. speed of scout. But yeah, you should just be able to put your reticle on where anyone is, hit fire button, do damage.
Second point is also important, a scout should not be able to strafe faster than your gun can move if you are pushing the control to move your gun at maximum speed. If scouts can move faster than turn speed they are too fast. Because even if a player had a fast brain and very good eye hand coordination they would not be able to push the reticle fast enough to shoot the scout. The game would be getting in the way with slow reticle speed.
Way to test this would be to have a scout run in a circle around you at top speed and see if you can keep reticle on the scout. If the aiming speed is as it should be then you should be able to move the reticle faster than the scout can move. Unless they are really close. |
