Sniping question.

[barondro]

Let's say you shoot somebody down from hooverboard with sniper rifle. He tumbles but still lives. Where do you shoot him when he is on the ground? Because, I don't know if its only me but when I shoot the body, nothing happens. No hit whatsoever. And I am sure I hit the body ;-) after all, he is laying there helplessly for those precious seconds. I am not sure, but I think when you shoot above the body, you'll actually get some hits. Or is a person somehow "temporary protected" while he is on the ground?
What's your take on this?

[Wrathchild73]

After a sniper I normally prefer to change weapons to shock and combo his helpless body to hell. yet if your to far away make sure he is getting up and finish him off.

Same problem here barondro. I aim for his head and when shot nothing happens, even though I hit him right 'between the eyes', so to speak.

Then I curse and grab another cookie.

Hitting the player immediately after falling off the hoverboard shots are not registered. You have to wait a second until they start moving again and are almost back to their feet. At that point you should have a shock ball waiting for them

Thanks for explaining. That's what I usually do anyway ;-) or flak, nothing better than waiting until he stands up than blow him to pieces. but didn't wanna always switch to shock, or flak and run towards him. It gets tiring after 20 or so kills :-)

Ooo I make sure he's dead. Same as some people make sure I am dead. Especially after killing bunch of them they run around my corpse, blow it to peaces and chant

when i fall of the hover board i get obliterrated by 30 bots, when i play lol i dont even stan up and i lost my body

[Ronvdl]

that happens because ragdolls are calculated client side, so when you join a server and someone ragdolls (falls from hoverboard or feigns death), the body will be on different places on the client than on the server. so when you shoot a body and you miss, this means the actual body on the server is somewhere else.
the higher the ping, the higher the difference can be

once i feigned death online, fell down from a ledge, and when i stood up, i was at the top again

kinda.. bad...

I had no idea, but this explains a lot of strange things that have happened when I've tried to feign myself out of being stuck in some geometry.
