People eating headshots like candy?

Is it just me? Shocking aim but check this out, this is just one example. Reticle is clearly directly on his face while he’s one shot as I pull the trigger, ignore the pathetic aim beforehand.

Is this latency spikes/jitter? Packet loss? Server-sdie? Is it HIM lagging? I’ve noticed with H5 that the people who are laggy/glitchy can often eat shots/mess with aim. Then there’s this guy haha. I must admit this is my no.1 most frustrating thing, people eating shots or worse when it gives a white hit-marker on their head at which point it is just trolling you for fun. I got a new router with some QoS recently and switched to ethernet and my connection is as stable as it’s ever been according to pingplotter.

Is it just me or am I getting outplayed?

I like the taste of lead it’s not my fault

It’s my internet provider

dude, i can’t tell you how many people i have shot directly in the face when they were one shot while we were in a duel, and yet they will not die. For real, there have been many times when this does not happen, but this definitely happens, am glad im not the only one who has had this happen

I just watched your link, and that is the exact situation that has happened to me countless times

Happening to me a lot. I don’t know why. At least one bullet from the burst didn’t kill him and don’t know why.

I get this issue a lot with CS:GO. Surprisingly not with any of the Halo games.

The joys of online gaming in Australia, I guess.
It’s just frustrating because even if it happens just 5-6 times out of the 40-50 or so lethal engagements during a match it makes the entire match feel dirty and frustrating.

I didn’t watch the video but you probably need to aim higher. I’ve realized it’s not about hitting them in the head you have to hit them slightly above the head to get a headshot to register

happens all the time and its the most frustrating thing

Its probably the reason why we can destroy the enemy core Palmer. It might be the reason.

I would throw my xbox out the window if this ever happened to me! No joke!

Yeah I’m definitely going to give that a go haha

Most of the time, it’s not laggy.
It’s lost package.

A laggy means your response of the game is delayed.
But lost package means a lot of your action is not send to the server and do not have effect.

When your internet connection to the XBOX LIVE & HALO server is not good enough, there will be some package lost during the game.
If the situation is heavy, when you use a accelerator/pumper (whatever you call it), you will notice that you are “shrinking” in the sky several times before you landing.
Or sometimes when you try to climb on something, you just suck there and keep doing the climbing action many times before you actually make it.
Really annoying.

And in this situation, there will be a lot of shoot you made won’t have any effect.

There was sometimes my package lost reach 40%
That means every shot I made have 40% chance to miss the enemy wherever I aim.
Makes the game almost unplayable.

i.e. An enemy clearly already lost his shield, I use a DMR shoot his head 6 times, nothing happened and he turn around and kill me.

i really reeeeally sympathise cuz i know exactly how u felt and how frustrating that was…so many times i keep yelling at the screen askingwtf was that when i clearly shot the guy in the head, only for him to kill me a few shots later

There’s one way to fix it. Halo 2 Magnetism.

Upon closer inspection of the second clip, the second bullet hit the ground causing it to not connect and the white hitmarker was because I was aiming too low. Which makes me feel better as I can simply improve.

Add me to the list OP…happens all the time to me AND I’m in North America, have a wired 1GB Fibre OP connection, wired elite controller. Just played some SWAT tonight and had games where I shoot the guy in the head—nothing—then he hits me and boom, down I go. Also find that in Slayer sometimes I get opposition players absorbing bullets from my magnum at close range where I go down from some doofus spraying me with an AR from across the map! Ughhh!!!

Hit mechanics are totally inconsistent and unpredictable since one game you’re doing fine and the next, no matter what you do, your shots seem to just go somewhere else.

Its like they want you to win but lose the bullets thinking.

After watching the videos the first one is the only one you could complain about. #2 you missed almost every shot, and the others were just lag
