Typical, blame the player and not the game. Me and my friends have had the same issues over the last two weeks. I've seen terrible hit detection, as well as being shot through walls and that's on top of the horrendous lag that will send you off a bridge while driving, or drive you into a guard rail and glitch you into it. Every round is hit or miss in this game. You never know what you're going to get.
I also don't get how the lag could be so bad that it makes party chat lag with it. Never seen any other game do that.
Over the years, I've seen way too many people complain about shots not registering in many games. I used to feel that way sometimes myself. I stopped complaining most of the time after I started watching my own gameplay.
There are definitely problems with this game and lag and weird network issues absolutely exist. I'm not denying that at all.
We are now in an age when you can easily capture and share your clips.
I always prefer to see peoples shots and see what's actually happening. This is a shooter, but it's not COD. Recoil plays a real factor and at distant you really can't fire full auto. It's gotta be precise single shots adjusted for recoil.
Many times it's people not learning or understanding shooting mechanics. Most recently I remember people complaining about hit detection in Gears 4. That game had some issues, but the vast majority of clips people shared on the gears forums weren't of bad hit detection. They were just poor shots and as players they couldn't tell while playing. Going back and watching the clips, it was obvious.
People complaining about their hits only registering 40-50% of the time should really be sharing tons of clips of that happening. One off game or a few clips here and there are not going to convince me because I'm playing the same game and the majority of times my shots connect when they should and miss when they should.
