So I play Halo every ounce and a while and i realized this game feels different for me especially sense i have been playing halo for years and to my curiosity i want to know if they messed up on hit boxes/hit detection because sometimes i lunge at a enemy when i go to melee them and sometimes i don’t end up hitting them when i have them dead on my sights and i noticed that sometimes that it takes more shots to the head then it should and this happens in most halo’s on this collection for me, i have been along time fan of this series but when i get into a game after long waiting, sometimes this just happens to me for no reason and i feel like there is something wrong with it. Because i can definitely feel the difference compared to the previous halo’s. Another thing that has been bugging is when i zoom in with a BR or a Sniper Rifle and i am shooting at people and they shoot at me it forces me to zoom out and that has been irritating me a lot because how am i suppose to snipe in halo now? I was always used to zooming in and getting shot and still being in zoom and it happens to me but never my friends!! and it upsets me that i spent $65 on this game and i am not happy with it. I want to hear your guys thoughts and if you can help that would be great if you know a solution or if you think this might be a bug or glitch or something because i don’t just think that the servers are broken because when i get into a game some people just eat way too many shots then they really should and when they shoot at me from any range i automatically zoom out. The zoom is meant for far range/accuracy it annoys me that this happens because now i have to constantly snapshot my opponent instead of staying in the zoom and it makes it way more one sided then it really should, why didn’t they just have it so you could just take the shots without zooming out. I need feedback, it would be most appreciated because it irritates me, did anyone else noticed this?
And sometimes i don’t lunge at them and sometimes i do ending up hitting them or not and sometimes i lunge and i either hit them or i don’t. its just all luck.

Because being descoped is how sniping was designed in the 3 best halo games. As for the hit detection the only thing that seems off to me is the sniper in h2c, could just be that it has been half a decade since Ive played h2 matchmaking though.
I can never tell if its a hit box issue or if im just lagging. 
Sometimes the hit boxes do feel closer to the pc versions.

Thankfully Halo 5 is going back to descope (I have other potential issues with H5 multiplayer but we will see in the beta)

Sniper definitely has a jacked up hitbox

Well, it makes battles way more harder to handle, i personally never noticed getting descoped in other halos if it does happen, i find it to be a issue in game play, i don’t think it was in halo 3 (2007) or even halo 2 (2004).

And i do think that Descoping is a pain because is a pain to deal with sense i am used to the older titles gameplay, i personally don’t like it, i am sure some do but i don’t.

Then you need to refresh yourself lol both of those games had descoping along with halo one, reach I’m not sure of because I can’t remember but I know forsure that descoping was not in halo 4, so I’m guessing that’s what you’re going off. Descoping=more competitive=better gameplay

Maybe they did XD, I don’t know dude maybe i just liked it better not getting descoped, although i also get descoped in Halo 4 i don’t know why.
I’ve always found descoping to be annoying–a guy halfway across the map could descope me with a spray and pray smg and throw my whole aim off. I’ve never understood how it was competitive, but it is what it is.
Halo CE you need to lead your shots, the melee in Halo 2 was -Yoink- in my opinion for not always connecting a melee lunge (more often than not it won’t) and Halo 3 had the least aim assist. But no aiming isn’t off.

I agree with descoping being annoying and uneven… and trust me i know, all the other halos were fantastic its just that im finding this to be really annoying after waiting a long time for a game just for gameplay that is lazy to my expectations.
I really do think that there should be a option for descoping or not.

sometimes it does lag but very little, i think its just the game or the servers.

no there are currently network and gameplay issues, in CE the bullet registration and off-host gameplay is horrid, it’s worse lthan halo PC by a mile. H2A seems to chew up bandwidth in spikes, people with bad net or a host with bad net can make the game intolerable, a seemingly lagless game can still have registration issues where it takes more than 4 shots to kill. halo 3 also seems to have weird registration at times. the game in general seems to have some buggy behaviour regarding registration, empty weapons not disappearing, geometry glitches, weapon orientation, collision and lag
