Hitbox/Netcode

Just wanted to ask if anyone else has had issues with this or if it's just me. 

Long time lurker here. 

Anyone else feel like there is something off about hitboxes and/or the netcode? 


What usually ends up happening for me is me shooting a guy in the head(sorry guy), and i'm getting a regular kill instead of a headshot kill, i have to deliberately either switch to a bolt action or switch to semi auto and shoot real slow to get the hit i need to get the headshot. To be fair, i'm a geriatric as far as FPS games go, i'm over 30, but i just feel like it's off somehow. Even with the bolt and a clear hit to the face i sometimes still just get a hit marker and no kill because the game determined i didn't hit the head. 

Another big thing that ends up happening while playing is ducking behind cover, and in the same second you get behind something, you're dead, having the killcam show the guy clearly behind the object or wall while your character just lies there, sad and broken. 

Being old has it's perks though, you guys remember Wanted? Angelina, McAvoy, Freeman? They bend bullets to get around cover, i feel like the netcode is bending the game to allow people to hit me behind cover. One other thing, very rarely, i feel like some hits aren't registered, it's most noticeable when shooting rockets or main battle tank cannons. 


Also, why do all the menus look like the Netflix browse page?

  • It's the bloom, not the hitboxes in my experience. Bloom makes your bullets go sideways, behind you, above you, and occasionally disintegrate entirely. Things that increase bloom include:

    • Getting shot at
    • Moving
    • Standing instead of being crouched or prone
    • Sneezing
    • Firing full auto
    • Jumping
    • The enemy looking at you funny

    Bloom is pretty lame and I wish they'd remove it or at least tone it down. I much prefer my bullets going where my gun is aiming. If you start tap firing/ shooting in 2-3 round bursts at more than 15-20m, you'll probably start to see your shots landing.

  • same here, I have done several posts about this issue. Im getting real tired of it…ruins my games and fun

    Its NOT bloom. Ill have some yahoo jump down stairs, sliding, smoking a cig and Ill fire first, crouched,  register 3-5 hits at a 900 BPM weapon at 25 dmg and all of a sudden I fall over dead. its NOT BLOOM. People run and gun and I just fall over. Sometimes Ill put 3-5 shotgun slugs into someone and they turn around and mow me down. I die around corners. I die with NO LOS. I have a brand new comp 5090, gigs upon gigs of errythang on FIBER and the just lose 95% of battles. Like poster, Im not some gaming gawd, but its not even 50/50. If i play at 2-4am I turn into super soldier. There IS something wrong. I feel like they are slowing me down for bad connection people and cross play. I wanna select a region of servers to only connect to. This is NOT fun.
