"What you’re seeing is roughly the same situation as you would have in Halo 2, but with movies and screenshots available to examine this stuff, you’re seeing more alleged injustice on a frame by frame basis. The sniper IS harder to use now, so sack up, it requires more skill."

This is what we got in response to asking why the hit detection is glitchy in the sniper rifle. Are we really being told, in the face of irrefutable evidence that the sniper is glitchy, that we should just deal with it because it's now "harder to use"?
I wouldn't mind if the hit detection was a little off and from time to time shots go through heads...I can deal with that. The problem is that IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.
By the way, for those who are going to tell me it's lag...it's not. I've done it in local games, and against stationary (afk) players on Live. It's not a lag issue. It's a hit-detection issue.
I've got over 15 clips of this happening in the past 2 days. (I've uploaded some of the more blatant ones, and more are coming later)

PLEASE, Bungie, don't throw this back in our face and tell us it's our fault. The first step to fixing a problem is to admit it's there.
PLEASE admit the hit-detection's a little off...even if it can't be fixed.

And don't even get me started on the Double Reload glitch...

By the way, I know this has been discussed, but it's so infuriating that I needed to vent a little. I was really pissed when I read that "sack up, it requires more skill" crap. Sorry.

I always have sucked with a sniper rifle so it doesn't affect me too much. Sorry for you who use them though, I haven't really done much with them in 3 yet, I figured it was just me.

Another funny side note: if anyone has seen the halo 3 beta RvB episode, Griff I believe complains about not being able to hit anything with his sniper rifle, and sarge says that it isnt a bug and that he just sucks. Maybe it was a bug....

Bungie said this? Source?

If Bungie DID say this themselves, then I I just loss a lot of respect for them. How egotistical. "We make Halo, so kiss our asses and suck it up." It's also an idiotic statement. If you get screwed out of headshots, "skill" has not a damn thing to do with it. I don't care if it's a lag or not (and this has happened to me on off-line multi play as well), it's an issue, and it needs to be fixed. Either fix or or address the fact you can't fix it if that's the case. Glad to see a company caring so much about its players (sarcasm).

Here's hoping Bungie goes under, now that they don't have daddy Microsoft to protect them.

Honestly, I love Bungie and love Halo.
I just hate that a glitch was thrown back in our faces and outright denied.

It was in the weekly update, the latest one with all the resonses to player questions. And yes, that is a -blam!- ass egotistical thing to say and it pissed me off to hear it.

The sniper is my third most used weapon (next to the AR and my fist) and I really don't see it happen too often. Yes I do see that occasionally something strange happens and I have seen pics and clips of it happening, but I really don't think it happens that often.

Finally, a thoughtful address to an actual situation.

While it wasn't the nicest way to say it, I still fail to see how he is wrong. This kind of thing did happen all the time in Halo 2, and a rediculously amount more in Halo when using XboxConnect. Also the Sniper rifle IS a lot harder to use now since they removed almost all auto-aim from it.

Aiming isn't the problem. It's the hits not registering when clearly they should. like the creator of this thread said before, I've played local games and still had shots not registering so this is NOT a internet connection/lag issue.

I have noticed this as well Ver7ig0. I actually turned quickly around once fired without the scope and much to my surprise killed the person. I was left wondering how cause it looked a little off, it didn't feel right. Sure enough I look back and the footage and it was a nice shot but it was off by a hair, that pissed me off. It has happened a few times. Its not that big of a deal but it is kind of annoying....oh well.

excuse me but did that 1 guy just say that since they wont fix the glitch then skill means nothing. you have to be kidding me you are concerned about skill in a video game ? you should instead be concerned about skill in a job trait cus last i checked very few people in this world make a living off of video game skill and the fact that you actually care about said skill makes me chuckle

My roommate and I agreed with the OP on this one. When the Q&A (read: Bungie answering a couple questions they felt like answering) came out, we saw that and were blown away by the arrogance. They used to be all about the gamer, and tried to meet our demands. Now they're just like, "Well, we made Halo 3, and it's the best thing ever, so what it it's loaded with glitches, deal". I mean, screw you too guy. I paid for your product, and I expect some customer service in the form of fixing what's broken.
