whatever you want to call it, bullets from the sniper and pistol go towards enemies when slightly off them in halo pc.

There are many things I would like to say, but I will not. What I will say is that you are wrong; in an unaided, unmodified version of Halo PC, the projectiles from the sniper rifle and pistol (not plasma) have no "auto aim" or tracking abilities. However, there are programs that induce this effect. No, I am not accusing you of anything, I am simply stating a fact.

Back on topic, yes, no, good montage.

EXACTLY. Nessy, there is no auto-aim whatsoever in HaloPC. Unless you want to talk about Halo2Xbox, the New Mombassa is just around the corner. Just remember to take the right turn from Optimatch, and you'll see an island filled with retards who thinks they can snipe. You can't miss it.

That made me laugh. :)

Which is harder - sniping a moving target from across the map or sniping a moving target from across the map without using the scope? Obviously the latter.


1. If you would read my post that's a few posts above that one, you would realize that has absolutely nothing to do with the point I'm trying to make.

2. I never said anything about across the map.

3. My point was, at mid-range, a lot of the time it is easier to no-scope than to use 2x scope, because as you zoom out more, the hitbox on your target gets bigger. Don't believe me? Test it.

The technical term is auto-aim, not reticle magnetism.

People use the term "auto-aim" to describe both reticle magnetism and hitboxes. I think we should distinguish between the two, because calling them both auto-aim can get confusing, like it already has in this topic.


if your zoomed in there is auto aim with the sniper, try zooming and aiming just above someone, it hits.

same with the pistol

whatever you want to call it, bullets from the sniper and pistol go towards enemies when slightly off them in halo pc.

That's one way to describe what I would call hitboxes. This is exactly why I think we should distinguish between reticle magnetism and hitboxes. In Halo PC, there is no reticle magnetism, but there are hitboxes. I think the best way to describe hitboxes would be that the game gives you a certain margin of error (it's different for each weapon, and it's measured in degrees). Take the hitbox for the head, for example. If you're using the sniper (let's say you have 0 ping), you can hit within a certain distance from the center of the head, and it will still count as a headshot.

When you scope in with the sniper, the hitbox stays the same in relation to your screen, and thus the hitbox of however many degrees is covering a smaller area (seriously, try to picture this one in your head). Zooming out actually does make the hitbox bigger in relation to your target. Get it?

Ah, I do now understand what you're trying to say. Though you do make a point, I feel that using the scope is always much more practical and accurate.

There is a small hitbox around enemies head when zoomed in with the sniper or when using the pistol. Try it, I am right.

Yes, there is, but it's bigger when you unzoom.

Ah, I see what got milk is trying to say. I think I'll make a small instructional video on it just because I'm bored and because I am no longer good at Halo.

I belive what Kim was trying to say is, she(I'm assuming she because Kim is a female name) was good at Halo PC, but through lack of not playing, has become less skilled in the nature of Halo PC.

Add me to your friends list if you haven't already. It's a lot more fun to play with people from The Maw and people I know than random noobs.
