Question for my fellow snipers

[KEKEKE]

Preferably ones that average 70% headshots...

Is it just me or did they completely destroy the headshot hit box? I originally figured it was my computer overheating, or that I had just lost my touch. Then I started to notice a pattern. Basically I can shoot someone in the head and it will do one of 4 things, registered headshot, unregistered headshot, bodyshot, miss.

It used to be that you aimed for the head, from the chin to the very top of the head, it was a headshot. Lately I have seen a ton (like 1 out of every 5 headshots) where I see a big bloody spot appear on the heavy's face, and he takes no damage. I have seen even more (1/4 headshots) where I shoot them in the head and it registers as a body shot. This isn't me missing, this happens when the only visible part of the character is the hat.

I won't blame my missing on Valve, because I can't prove it, but they changed something. I am sure of it. Any other snipers notice this shit?

[Awol]

Personally I haven't noticed any changes but I know others were complaining about missing headshots that hit.

[RandomGuy]

its like when they tried to fix facestabs, but made it worse. here they reduced the head hitbox to provent shoulder headshots but screwed it up.

I noticed this too. it's pissing me off. so much harder to get a headshot. ps- I'm typing this on my iPod touch

I would give my 10 cents worth but I only get about 65% head shots.

Today during arena breakfloor, It was me a heavy and a medic vs a heavy and a medic. I got down on the bottom of the arch and charged up my rifle. Then the heavy came and I shot him in the head. (Blood came out of his head so yes, I did.) Then he started shooting at me.

Needless to say, I'm pissed at whatever happened to the old headshot system. D:

[captainAngry]

You know you can headshot a heavy and not kill him right. Is it possible that some of these might be the damage sound not playing or something?

[PhrozenFlame]

It was a fully charged headshot. So yeah, whatever happened to the old headshot system, IT NEEDS TO COME BACK. D:<

I really haven't noticed that much of a change in the sniper hits. But one thing that really angers me is the fact that you can get a direct hit right between the eyes of a heavy, and he's still standing, but the game registered a critical hit.
Is it just me or is that just a little bit unreal? I think if I took a shot between the eyes with ANY weapon at all in real life, I'd be dead with my brains scattered all over the wall and floor. I mean, I know it's a game, but come on, a little realism would be nice.

I haven't noticed much either.

The game isn't about realism so no, you can't have any. But I know my sniper on this game and I've gotten fullycharged headshots that just go right through the players.... It might be a ping problem or something though.

You probably have a better ping than me, and my ping's usually 40!

[g_e_oos]

Mine is usually around 60-70

[PhrozenFlame]

Yeah but I use wireless internet soo...

[Sastora]

So does he I think. and so do I.
