Some people will shield and armor tank. Keep an eye on the health bars over your opponent. Some heavy suits with good shields can live through a clip of fire from a militia assault rifle. But if you see the health bar go down at least you know you are hitting.
Then again, sometimes not even that will happen.
They are working on improving matchmaking so that new players should not be mixed in with advanced players in the high level gear that can take a lot of damage. But it isn't quite there yet.
Erm... heavy suits have smaller shields than a scout i think, if you aren't popin' em after 5 bullets, ur blind or the hit-boxes went to have a lunch break. If you are denting the armor, yep, it may seem like you are not hitting em, but after 20 bullets 1/4 of the armor should be off.
I find it the worst at close combat, i go around in a SW/Breach SMG fit, so i can get free WP from those militia LAV drivers and melt ppl at close quarters (everything but shotguns, as it should be) well; sometimes assault suits are killed so fast than my squad mates can't even get the assist. Then sometimes, the hit detection from 2 builds ago kidnaps the actual and i find myself using 2 mags 80 bullets each to kill the mentioned assault. But I'm not only talking about how awesome i am and how the breach SMP is da' boss; sometime i face a shotgun scout, and i say to myself "****, I'M DEAD" then i see trails from his gun through my chest/body, but my shields don't even flinch, and while i kill him (80 bullets are a dread thing to take to the chest) i can't help but feeling bad for the guy, almost as if cheating.... then i get an orbital strike and i ******* forget about him, get to a corner and search for the biggest zerling rush to nuke.
Seriously, the day the hit detection is fixed they might find the need to balance all weapons in the game, because atm any of em is working as intended yet they are somehow balanced, so when they work its gonna be crazy; SMG killing w 20 shots, 1OK shotguns, AR will turn to be terribad ( the range the only advantage against SMG) , a HMG capable of killing 10 ppl at the same time if close.... THAT will be a real game. |
