But the hit detection in this game's....mediocre at best. I loved SOCOM 1 style hit detection. Beautiful accuracy, nice hit detection = good games all the time.

amen, i played S1 a few times. the hit detection is 30x better then Socom3's. People drop 3-5 hits when you actaully hit them.

lol. You could get that for what, 5 bucks now? But I'll say S1 was the best in terms of hit detection. I love seeing the end of the round stat screen and seeing someone I killed drop in 2-4 hits.

Let me set the scene.

I was on the terrorist small roof on Citadel. I saw a shadow below me, so I dropped down onto the next level. The guy is facing the wall, and I'm behind him. I can't be more than 2 feet away, I've got a loud 552. I put the crosshairs on his back and hold down R1 for 2-4 seconds. He turns and fires ONE 226 (silenced, so I know he wasn't aiming) and kills me.

Yeah man I've had similar instances but mine have been with .50cals.

I shoot this guy in the CHEST...he falls over, I have to reload because I was 1/10, so I reload, he's just gotten back up, then I shoot him again, but this time hit him in the leg because I was frantically trying hit him...he just slows down. Then he goes behind a wall and I can't see him again.

2 50 cals.......gay. I've had more instances like that too but yeah...especially in s2 lmao

ThaReNeGaDe · 10-15-2006

i get that all the time.

the one i can clearly remember is this one game in harvester. this guy was prone and i came behind him. i scoped in on his head and shot him and saw blood. He sponges it and gets up and pulls out his pistol. i gave him 8 shots of my 226 and he toke one shot with his F57 and i drop.

If he takes a 50 cal bullet to the chest and 8 226 shots he's not sponging he's using a lag switch.

^^^The guy above that attributed " the sponging " to connection speeds hit the nail on the head IMO. The one issue I have is that it seems that everyone is harder to kill if you shoot them in the back than in the front.

Ok so there are two reason u are a sponge in this game reason one you got a 56k internet that you havnt updated since 1999... or your internet provider sucks and your playing out in the boondocks... sponges are laggers aka noobs that dont die and who get voted cause they lag the room so if your ever on my side in a match im pretty sure you be boots in like 2 mins
