I can't penetrate this guy's helmet with the Chinese DMR? I see smoke.

Either hes hacking or somethings going on with the game. I had a simular experience today with a FB. As a insurgent my squad killed a bunch of brits and took there kits. We put incindenaries on the FB. About 2 of them and nothing happened to the FB. We put atleast 7 moltovs on it also and nothing happened. We gernaded it atleast 12 times and nothing happened. The thing couldn't bloody die and brits kept spawning on it.

bf2 crappy hitbox detection?

[NewShores]

Same thing on technicals, gunners have invisible wall surrounding them.

What is your ping?

What is your ping?

Can't remember what server I was on or the exact average ping. I live in the USA and was definitely on a server in the USA.

I concur. The "dust" is enough indication for me.

[Truism]

There are serious glitches with FB AA hitboxes too. Sniping people in those just doesn't. . . . Work. . . Right. . .

Indeed.

About the video though, I think it's the crappy BF2 hitbox detection. Have had lot's of similar experiences in PR and Bf2.

[ConscriptVirus]

lol i never thought the hit detection was THAT bad.

[Outlawz7]

It's the ".50 cal gunner invincibility" bug, I've seen it in PR before and I play PR SP a lot where there are tons of jeeps on maps and every so often there's one bot manning a .50 cal you can't shoot out.

[Valtasar]

I also have been in similar situation.
Just instead if marksman rifle I you sniper rifle.

[Rollonio]

Yeah the hit detection for vehicle gunners has been off for a while. I'm a very competent sniper but I've given up targeting vehicle gunners as its just a waste of ammo.

you never let the gun settle for the 3-5 secs it needs for an accurate shot, in the end it was your own damn fault you missed.

He didn´t miss at all.

He didn't miss, if he missed the smoke puffs would not have come up. The thing is bf2 has horrible hit boxes so if you try to go for headshots you are just gambling.

[McBumLuv]

Ye, sorry, but, WTH?

None of his shots missed, as shown by the puff of smoke comming from the guy's body. And if you think hitting a stationary target literally 15 meters away from you requires you to sit still for 5 seconds, then you must have a highly misconstrued notion of what deviation is, how it works, and what it's supposed to represent.

EDIT: Wow, twicely ninjad
I dunno if it's crappy hitboxes, because the guy was 15 meters or so away, and stationary, and even though they he was going for the head I don't think the context would have been bad enough for the hitboxes to lag that badly.

It's probably, as Outlawz has said, a glitch with the hitbox position or w/e.

[Tomato-Rifle]

I have had those glitches killing people in a FAV for a long time, even in vbf2, one time i just came up too him and stabbed the gunner 3 times, but no kill.
