Quake Live - Terrible Hitboxes

Watch how Grunt, a medium sized model, can take shot after shot without it registering. Imagine how bad it is with Tank Jr...

Yes, we know there's no headshots in Quake. That doesn't excuse the one-size-does-not-fit-all hitboxes in a competitive game, especially a Quake game.

It just got fixed last update with the new cylinder hit-boxes. they added a head box now.

@SickzorOne Cool stuff.

I don't know what they make with the hitboxes but in q3 i had 25-30 % accuary and in here i have got 40-50%. i played 2 year q3 instagib and after i go there..

[scumsberg]

They fattened up the hitboxes horizontally so it's easier to hit (lag not withstanding), but they didn't increase the vertical hitbox so a lot of shots still go through people's heads, shoulders and on the largest of models, other places as well.

That's why GRUNT KICKS FUCKING ASS!!!

@omniscientantipathy because the black ops engine still uses the original engine port from Quake 3 Arena! :D its actually pathetic isnt it... but tbh the single player is amazing i cant fault that.. so many things you can do and it looks very realistic just the multi player looks directly like its come from Quake 3... aint good man

@kragle2008 Why would you bring up that mushy abortion of a game?

[Shazeen82]

Use visor skin Keel Grunt etc skins head was out of the hitbox. 

[kragle2008]

this is why black ops fails... it still uses the Q3 engine lol! i often shoot people and the ping lag plus bad hit boxes have made it look like i have just shot the other side of the map

[Shazeen82]

Keel and tankjr has the same hitbox problem. Thats why use visor in the old days

[Fablivion]
