Yesterday i started sniping, managed to get around 3 matches in
3 kills 1 death
5 kills 4 deaths
6 kills 1 death
Did they hotfix hitboxes? or am i just getting better?
The last match was my absolute best match since i started playing. would have went 6 and 0 had i not been discovered up on the hill, was out of ammo and hiding waiting for the last 3 clones to die for the game too end.. and got popped =( oh well anyhoo back on topic..
Seems far easier too hit people from afar with the sniper rifle now, and am wondering if they did any hotfixing on the hitboxes?
Also am using the charge sniper rifle, instead of militia.. maybe that has something to do with it? |

I think they have done something to improve hit detection because its either that or a lot of people are getting better at killing me. |

Every other rifle except the charge rifle sucks. Charge rifle kills in one hit so thats why you're doing better. |

the first two ratios i posted were with the militia sniper rifle, i just went 6 - 2 with the charge rifle.. seems your correct
Though i dont always 1 shot somebody, it def. its a better weapon all around.
Seems my skills are improving a bit, was just curious.. cuz if hit boxes were fixed ide try a few different builds..
gonna wait till the next build too try some different things out..
thanx all! |

Charged rifle is over rated. Seriously. What's the damage on it when fully charged again? 236? I remember using the AUR Genesis which might have had less damage but it fired a hell of a lot faster. Alpha is nothing if you miss. If your target survives he's gone anyway as well. On top of It the advanced sniper rifles can kill other suites as well in one hit. Hell. The tactical can kill scouts in one hit.
I really loved the tactical but the small clip size was always a hassle. But I remember dropping three enemies within like 2 seconds with it one time. Also it takes down heavies quicker than anything else as well.
The standard sniper rifles have five round magazines and if you spec into damage you can drop does one after the other very quickly. On top of that if you miss-you still have many more shots that can follow up quite quickly.
I swear. People act like you can't double shot someone. It's really not at hard to follow up on a second shot. Especially with the tactical sniper rifles where you can drop people so quickly that they don't even know they are being sniped. |

Hit detection in this build is FAR better than the last. However there has been numerous instances where (usually close combat) I have blasted someone at point blank with a shotty and nothing registered on their armour/shields.
Last night I shot someone running directly away (not at an angle), well within its range from point blank to maybe 8 metres, with 4 shots from a shotgun and it had no effect. They then took me out with a scrambler pistol lol.
I suspect lag is a big problem in close combat. As far as sniper rifles are concerned then yes definitely the hit box problems are minimal.
P.S. Charge sniper rifle is fairly powerful, but it has massive drawbacks. Its not always good to wait for the rifle to 'charge up' to take a shot. In fact its really only good for medium to long range targets, and forget multiple shots at an alert enemy.
Overall the basic sniper rifle may well be more flexible. |

Just went 9-0 playing sniper fit; usually a logibro. So I would have to say yes.

I know nothing.
But the # of players on the server has been going down, and it makes we wonder if Singularity was feeling a wee bit abused when she had 3000 peeps stuffed into her. |

I had a guy run up on my blasting with a smg today and I unloaded a half clip or so from a dovall on him dead on and nothing happened to either of us. I moved to a better position and he started weaving but still no damage. I could see his shields getting hit. Then we just stood there point blank and emptied almost a full clip at each at other and nothing. Craziest thing I've had happen yet. I dunno what that was all about, but must have been something more than just bad hit detection.
Also, on the map with the B and C hacks in that complex place if you go to objective A between it and the building where the clone station is there's a hill. Try to run between the hill and the close station's building against the wall and you'll get stuck in the ground. Makes you almost impossible to hit but you're stuck there until you suicide so it's not all that great.
Other than those things the hit detection seems a bit off but decent most of the time. Course, I wasn't here for the previous build so I can't compare. |
