I think your enemy has to be laying down.

I've tried hitting them everywhere. By them, I mean a noob playing as Recon who was completely oblivious to his surroundings. I even tried to shock his face for Pete's sake!

Nothing like running down the locker room at metro with a M60 with a extended magazine. Just holding down the trigger screaming mother ******. Turns out you die a lot haha but it is fun to do. Makes your friends laugh though.
 
A friend of mine was complaining about it, but it's a lifelong thing. Some days you don't notice it as much, others you just get smacked in the face by the game.
 
It's been pretty bad for me for the last few times I've played. Tonight there were instances of bolt-action rifle headshots not registering, consecutively. Times where hip-firing from close range with a carbine into a guys back wouldn't do any damage.

So much frustration lately for me with this game.

That happens to me whenever In sniping in a Hardcore match. Very very very annoying....
 
Defib kills: you have to hold the fire button down for.a couple seconds to get the kill. A quick tap like you are reviving wont do it.
 
I've never attempted a Defib kill.

I guess holding the button down overcharges it and makes it lethal.

Also, it's been explained to me by a friend that the L96 isn't a great rifle when it comes to shooting.

Why's that? Personally I love it, I'd been away from the game for ages until a couple of days ago; on a server running the flying maps I decided to do a bit of sniping and I got back into using the L96 as if I'd never been away. Even at fairly close range, actually, something I never used to do.

Also -2 month year old me for some reason thought it would be a good idea to extend my general 'suppressors and holo sights only' rule to the JNG-90, that rifle with the second lowest bullet drop (and therefore excellent at long range, I'd imagine). I still can't work out what I was thinking back then. Nothing more annoying than switching to a weapon in the respawn screen only to find you've totally screwed yourself over with ridiculous attachments.

I played on a CQ server last night, I chose to use the G53 for that assignment. It went well. Then when I finished that assignment I chose the ACW-R. It didn't go nearly as well... After that I couldn't find my rhythm so I gave up. Shame, though, I had a really good game before that one.
 
Not getting a kill from 2 headshots with the L96 from fairly close range would be a good reason. Could only see the guy's head and I had the 8x scope on it within range where no bullet drop occurs.

Anyone having issues with hit detection lately?

I have had problems with getting hit markers for head shots with the M98B. Sniping from maybe 170 meters out.

I have been getting really good at getting head shots from close range. But last couple days I think i have been getting screwed over.

Also just last night my buddy and me were sniping at the back left of the US base at metro (spawn camped). I watched his bullet go through this one guys head and he only got a hit marker. Then shortly after someone killed him and he had a 100% kill assist. Those have been happening a lot.

Ahhh ok. I will give it a shot. Thanks

Ah, that's not exclusive to the L96. Last night for instance, running around Ziba Tower with my G53 getting hipfire kills at a respectable range, I encountered a guy standing not five metres away from me, completely in the open. Fired three quarters of a magazine at him, the crosshairs barely bigger than he was on my screen, and I got no hit markers. None! He killed me right good though, naturally. Ended quite a long kill streak that did, I wasn't happy. I used the L96 last night as well and had no such problems, though I couldn't tell you how many kills I got. Not many were headshots, but I didn't see any collisions being undetected.

Oh right, I've just seen your posts on the page before this one. Yeah, I've been having issues with collision detection but I think it's mostly down to lag.

Edit: Just scored a 1002.42m headshot with the JNG-90 on Bandar! My previous best was around 640m I think.

So, it's not just me having issues and it's due to servers being overdue for maintenance then? That's a relief.

That would also explain why my friend and I have had issues knifing people.

This worked. Just tried it at metro.

I died a lot but with every kill it got it was worth it.

It is hard to do. I haven't figured out the best method for doing it but instead of knifing people I am going to do this. Hahahaha it's so worth it
 
They didn't even attempt to capture flags during the game. I typically don't like playing that way but it's nice to get some sort of redemption after losing so many games.

See if you can beat my 1115m next time. I got it on the carrier at Gulf of Oman and I killed someone in the hotel.

Possibly unrelated but you can't register a hit on a player as soon as they've spawned. You have to wait like 1.5 seconds and I actually think that they're able to shoot and register on you before you can on them. Bloody annoying that.

I can't think of a longer shot you can do than that without it being set up, I would guess Bandar has longer distances but the terrain gets in the way.

In the same life as that headshot I managed to get from the US zone to the RU zone, realised I'd screwed myself because there was a whole lot of traffic coming through where I was, but I managed to kill an engineer (at about 5 metres with the 12x scope!) then died because Sprut.

I still only have 2 claymore kills, I guess I should see about completing some of those all kit weapon assignments on CQ maps as Support. Ziba Tower has quite a few spots where claymores would be hard to spot... Just not really sure I can be bothered. I want to unlock that assignment for kills with each class, though that will also require 13 more AT mine kills.

Definitely unrelated. Although that spawn protection did fool once me last night.

But, chasing a guy down and attempting to knife him and the knife not working properly... :ouch: Even worse when two people try knifing two enemies and neither one gets the knife to work. :lol:

Yea the knife hasn't worked properly for me in awhile! I haven't noticed the hit detection problems though. Play a round or two of cod blops 2 hit detection on that game is terrible! Lol!
 
One issue I have had is when I spawn in on teammate, expecting to come out guns blazing suppressing the enemy, the gun doesn't show up on the screen for a good 3-5 seconds. Sometimes long enough for the enemy to kill me. Nothing is more aggravating than that (except maybe that glitch on Damavand where you randomly die while flying the chopper).
