We need to talk about jumping and hitreg/hitboxes

Something's WRONG here man.
Someone needs to actually test this somehow because something's just WAY fucking off.

It's really like when you're in the air the hitbox is just somewhere else or something. I am ON the target yet as soon as they're airborne it's like only 1/3 of my shots hit.

I'm not 'anti movement' , AT ALL but something is way off :(

Because movement isn't really the problem in this game, it's the animation length + netcode + hitboxes + the fact that some weapons still have a TTK of 130 ms.

When you put all that together, some absurd situations happen in this game.

In my opinion, this is the most frustrating Battlefield game, it's a great FPS, but it needs some fixes.

If this really, really bother you leave match if some players got really high ping. Over 100 and the rest is quite low. For me this is biggest issue. Anything feels off for me and I check pings every time someone with high ping

But i am actually starting to wonder if this is not even a ping only problem.
It REALLY feels as if the hitboxes do not follow the player model, regardless of ping.

It's like the hitboxes just BREAK when characters are in the air. Is there some way to actually TEST this?

I mean, i can't be the only one thinking like 'wtf' so often?

i saw it. He doesn't even touch the hitreg at all.

In air like far from you? Parachuting? Lead your shots.

These core, fundamental issues determine whether a game is great or not.

It’s time to embrace the horror. They’re not fixing this game. Once you get to this part of an EA games lifecycle it’s over

The jumping 100% breaks hit reg. I gun for a friend in a tank a lot, the amount of players being able to jump away from the tank shells is comical

Honestly, battlefield has been having these issues for years. It's just more noticeable in the newer battlefield.

I embrace the shill if you can't recognise the greatness of BF6. Do tell, what other 64 player combined arms FPS does it better, because I'll head straight to it. I'm enjoying HLL:V and Gallipoli, but to argue either of them come close to the greatness of BF6 is lunacy.
