Anyone else insulted by this?
"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 am of the opinion that the bullet smoke trail and blood are simply out of synch somehow with the actual shot. Like say for example, you fire at someone and the smoke trail connects with them and the blood occurs, but in reality you actually missed. Take this screenshot of mine from a custom game with friends: [url]http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=13499441[/url] In that pic you can clearly see my smoke trail hitting his feet and blood coming out, even though in the actual game I was aiming for his head. And I can tell you for a fact, with full shields, that he did indeed go down with that single shot. But there's no way anyone would die instantly from a sniper shot to the feet. This leads me to believe that my shot actually did hit him in the head, but for whatever reason, the smoke trail and blood manifested at his feet. [Edited on 10.08.2007 12:21 PM PDT]
