Subject: Hitboxes

For The Lulz is a worthier cause than For The Win.

From the skies to the ground, I'm the one that'll reign destruction down on you from behind the wheel and the flight stick. Keep your eyes on the rear view mirror, or you may be eating exhaust aside the road, riddled with holes.

My sniper is hungry for souls.

If at first you fail, fail again so that you succeed by wrapping your fail around the continuum into the win zone.

We all know they're really, really bad, but just how bad are they? This bad. To my knowledge, this is the worst case of failed hitbox just about ever. This one might be worse, though. I'm really not sure.

So what I want to know is, programming wise (if anyone knows), just how badly did Bungie screw up the hitboxes? I have no knowledge of programming, but I'm going to assume if I can shoot a hill and kill someone fifteen feet away, that's really crappy hit detection.

Yeah, so, hitboxes need to not do this kind of thing in H4...

Can't speak for the one on FBWalshy, but in my clip, I don't think it was laggy. That clip is old and crusty as hell, but if I recall correctly, it was fine in terms of connection.

In my experience these things happen usually because of some lag, but the video's you posted seemed to be going smoothly.

second video was hilarious

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

The hitboxes make sniping hilarious; I don't know how people can't be sniping gods with Reach; it is exponentially easier than Halo 3 sniping and then even more than that with Halo CE sniping.

I have no idea how to explain the second clip but the first one I think was just a case of the tracer not actually going where the bullet did. Bungie said something once to the effect of "If the tracer looks like it is missing the target, relax. The reticle knows all." I think the bullet was supposed to hit the guy, the game just drew it wrong or something.

Again, can't speak for the second clip.

A part of me wants to think that the second clip was either extreme lag (definite original excuse) or the bullet rebounded, but for some host-mumbo jumbo (I definitely know what I'm talking about), you didn't see the bullet trail.

It's possible. The reticle was red.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

None of that ever happens for me. Maybe once, months ago when don't remember, but not now.

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

Not all of us have steady aim and fast reflexes :(

Yeah especially because he used a Swedish song taken from a very popular Comedy Movie.
