Vub: The Power of Two; +188|6766|Sydney, Australia

Looking at the Unlocks Badges Awards and Rankings (UBAR) pages I noticed that the G36E takes four shots to kill unarmored personel, and five to kill armored.

Then how come last time on Sharqi Peninsula, the day being bright, my mood being cheery, and my ping steady and low, I came across a medic who had spawned and was just standing there: so I went prone, and virtually at point blank range, took me three bursts to kill him? I saw a lot of dust meaning that the shots all hit, but still it took 7 to 9 bullets to kill them.

This can't be a hitbox lag problem, because he wasn't moving, but was just standing there. I watch BF2 videos where if you aim right your shots will hit, and wonder what I'm missing.

The Hitboxes suck imo.

I shoot guys in the head with an M16 and they don't die.

Bad luck man, bad luck.

Uh, I've always imagined that you have at least a second or so before you can take damage after you spawn. Just a theory. A really weak way to stop spawn campers. As I used to spawn camp with the PKM and do the same thing with various shots needed to kill enemies.

if you're getting lots of dust it means your hits are not registering for the server...

or you dealt a killing blow, and if the guy is still standing then it didn't register

I wouldn't mind it if it was an isolated incidence. But ever since getting ADSL2+ my accuracy has slumped dramatically as shots which previously would have registered no longer do. It makes BF2 a drag to play.

Did you change the Userconfig.cfg files before getting ADSL2+?

If you did (presumably to suit your ping) you will have to change it again to your new current ping.

it is extremely annoying to have a day in which your hit detectino is horrible all day long, but something you must get used to. I have to deal with it all the time, and believe me its annoying

on the plus side, the dust puffs make an effective smoke screen if you're prone, i once had my life saved by it. I was prone with AK101 by a tree, and someone started shooting at me. I'm down to the reds, and suddenly a huge cloud of dusts like came out of my head, blocking my view but also my enemy's, allowing me to get behind the tree, heal, and then kill him. Other times it has killed me though

I have changed it on numerous occasions (both the Interpolation Time and the Latency Compensation). Sometimes there's no improvement, sometimes it gets better for a day and then the gameplay just reverts back.

Your probably just having a bad round mate. I get rounds where I hit everything and I get rounds where I hit nothing.

It shouldn't really matter anyway with the G36E. It's crosshairs are so small and the gun usually rarely misses and has accuracy better than the sniper rifles, it's also a pretty cheap weapon. Just use 9 bullets per kill, that's still 3 kills per clip.

You suck with the G36E?

I thought that was impossible, it's the skill-less weapon of the game, only rivaled by the G"I am a fag"3.

That is SO profound. Isn't Life a cereal? Please tell me how that goes again!

Nature is a powerful force. Those who seek to subdue nature, never do so permanently.

I saw a commander for the other team, got my dao shotty out, and went around in a circle blasting him away...But he was still there...and Yes my crosshairs were on him and I was close to him. I just finally ended it up by knifing him.
