Love the Railgun but...

I imagine this is nothing new but I am beyond confused when you can hit someone dead on with this beast and they are fine. My last game I had back to back shots on two different players. Checked the replay and first one, right in the chest. Second guy had his balls blown away but yet neither died, in fact the second guy took NO damage.

Cool weapon, very effective but seriously!!

It was probably lag, I get 1 shot kills with Railgun all the time

Could have been but there was no lag in that game, everyone had a good connection. Not the first time this has ever happened to me either.

Well that’s strange maybe they had lag not you?

I find rail gun, stickies, and sticky detonators are unreliable on the damage they do.

On a side note has any one ever thought the rail gun should have a scope. I’ve always thought of rail guns to be long range weapons.

it was lag the railgun is 1 hit kill if u hit them directly. its splash damage is underpowered though, the only way to kill someone with it is a direct hit or on a wall right next to them

That’s what I thought.

FYI this happens to me quite often, too, so it’s not just this one guy, if anyone’s wondering.

It happens to me too. But not often enough to complain.

with me it happens with every weapon every game. and my internet connection is great. 15mb download 3mb upload.

its just the game. its ok, ever since halo 4 came out and i got mad with it ive just play black ops 2. and that game is fun

the railgun ruins team doubles

343 better not screw up Halo 5 like they did Halo 4. it’ll be a chance for them to redeem themselves from this mess of a game. i like Halo 4 its fun but Reach was more fun and there are a ton of problems with Halo 4.

Yeah, I constantly find myself trying to scope with it. Rail guns aren’t usually close range weapons, and honestly its mostly inferior to most close range weapons due to charge up.

Only the railgun, incineration cannon, binary rifle, and boltshot are new. Two of those are sort of just ‘promethean’ versions of existing 1HK weapons.

Lead your shots. Eventually you get used to the travel time and can hit long shots.

This happens to me also quite a bit. Direct hits and the guy takes no damage, pretty frustrating. On the plus side though its happened the other way too, I was blown back by a rail gun that Im pretty sure nailed me and I took no damage at all.

The rail gun does have a scope, its just not very practical for targeting people at long range. You have to start the charge and then zoom in to take advantage of it but you lose all your aim assist in the process.

And just lol at the extremely off topic posts.

I’ve tried to see if I can survive some one hit kills on my own with a guest and sword, shotgun and bolt do have a tenancy at kill range to rarely just take the shields down. Same goes with plasma grenades, the sticky detonator, incineration cannon, and a splatter some times your just pushed or blown out of the way. This was all with out the cause of lag some times you just don’t die. Other instances would be when a vehicle your in is destroyed you occasionally bounce out of it unharmed. The Sword, plasma grenades, sticky detonator, splatter and vehicle destruction surviving or not killing happens to me almost every single day. I tried all these cause they have happened at least once and thought I need to recreate it. The cluster effect is the only part of an incineration cannon that can touch you and not kill you.

Halo has had lag problems since Halo CE. The type that ive never seen in any online game, ever. Halo 4 does seem the best halo thus far in terms of hit registry, but even still, some shots do crazily miss. I can play all day and make a good 20 minute video of all my missed hits, and i really really should some day.
