BF2 Hit Detection Test

*****Please read at least this*****

**** Version: v1.4
**** My Ping: ~53
**** target's ping: ~86

NOTES: I did not modify the game in any way to make this video. No CFGs or alterable console values or whatever -- NOTHING was modified.

I was ducking when I shot the sniper rifle, although the sniper rifle is accurate in all stances.. proning and ducking barely increases sniper rifle accuracy at all - only slightly.

*************************

a friend and I joined an empty server (someone else's server where we got ~70 ping) and tested the hit detection for battlefield 2. it's pretty ridiculous.

maybe understanding where you need to aim will make this game a little less frustrating for you.

The game displays a small yellow "X" over your crosshair if you successfully land a hit on an enemy, but because of the reduced resolution and the video compression, it's somewhat hard to see when it does show up in this video. so i added a Beep sound indicating that the "X" popped up. if you want you can view it in fullscreen if you want to make sure, and see the X's for yourself.

hope this helps someone..

i think bf2 hitboxes are just so realistic though. i think you just gotta know where to aim and how to shoot. it's not that simple, you've gotta learn it. bf2 is a realistic game since it's foundation back in 1942. just aim according to your movements, to the enemies' movements. c'mon, we're talking about the game that lets a missile go through a chopper without hitting it if it has the space it needs, aren't we?

@bjmzc

I don't really care anymore but I have to point out this is a bad argument. I'm not disputing the complexity of the hitboxes, but rather the actual placement-- relation of visible model vs. actual hitbox. Sure, the chopper hitboxes have a hole in the middle so a missile can fly through, but that doesn't mean it's aligned correctly to the physical model. Plenty of videos of TV missiles zooming straight through choppers (through the models of the pilots and everything) with no collision.

Yeah, u should really try to shoot the enemy and not the ground behind him. Mine works just fine.

@onetyme01010

I admit the video sucks now. I had a beep sound whenever the X appeared (which means you DID hit) so it was easier to notice

But in reply to your comment- check 1:50 - I aimed at the enemy and hit him lots (he was going "ow ow ow") but not one hit registered and he never died

the clip starting at 2:16 , is me shooting all bullets behind the enemy and magically killing him xP

lots of the clips in this suck, only the last one is good, dunno what I was thinking on some of them :/

Shooting is pretty difficult in BF2. I mean not difficult, all you need to do is be patient, but theres really something wrong with the hitboxes if a guy is on vehicle.

[Discombolulatedone]

@release2 so you have to shoot behind them??

[Discombolulatedone]

Dude everytime I play bf2 online. it lags really bad,but if i play in single player mode it plays really good. at top speed. also this pc can play mw2 just fine. so i know its not that. i have updated punkbuster. and it still is doing it. agin only in multiplayer. put everything to low. looks the same (altho i know its not that) like a lot of ppl on the web are having the same trouble,but no one has said if they found away to fix it. ppl say its punkbuster making the lag. can you help me?

@Felonious405 Someone needs to get their eyes checked.

[CtlBrandon]

patch 1.5 improves hit detection a lot

[Slider2k]

the hit detection is really off-putting, compared to TF2, it's really SHIT

[xraidedlok]

@TheCota65 this game is fucking awesome actually
