Sniping in this game is absolutely ridiculous to start off. I will snipe someone right in the temple, as sure of a shot I’ve ever been in my life and it counts as a body shot. Then, someone is running with their back facing me, I get a shot in the middle of their spine and it’s a headshot?
Ironically while ghandi hopping and strongsiding don’t seem to even be a strafe anymore, simply staying crouched while shooting completely distorts the headshots. Fix your -Yoink- 343
What is strongsiding?
Lol its about as good as shooting the air that’s not even aimed at the head but the body and being far enough to not even land the shot unless I dragscoped so well that it registered as a headshot.

I would guess that at least some of what you are experiencing is lag. For me, now about the last 3 weeks, I have seen a lot of lag in games.
If you cant be bothered to watch the video strongsiding is just running away while looking down so its hard to get the headshot

Never happened to me, and i snipe a lot…
@Cyber-Strongsiding is where you would look down with your cheif back in h2 and h3. it would basically make your head hitbox much smaller and would get you out of tough spots. The term was coined when Strongside (same SS that works at 343) was using in FFA’s and surviving impossible situations and getting away doing this.
@ OP- Crouch strafing was used in halo ce and died until h5 came out. The same way jumping become popular for h3, it changed the hitbox, just as crouching, it CHANGES the hitbox.
It’s most effect when close range, 50/50 at medium, and bascially irrelavent when far.
So at close ranges you should be expecting it, and aim at the neck/chest, that way you have to minimize the amount of vertical aiming you have to do.
Medium range, just aim at the neck, doesnt matter if they crouch or not.
If anyone crouching from far range, it doesnt matter, at that range you should have the entire player inside the circle and the autoaim/magnetism will do the work for you.
Arguing to “fix it” would be like saying jumping in h3 was broken should have been “fixed.” It’s essentially the same argument in which the hitbox was changed. You can’t have it both ways lol.
