Shots to the back

[SlasherMovieGuy]

This is just an observation. I don't know, but the more I play this game, I feel that this game was designed to be harder to kill someone in the back then in the front. I guess it's just somewhat of a chance to let you live to defend yourself, but only reason I bring this up is I use to blame all those times where I come up behind someone and light them up only to have them turn around and cap me in the face on lag. But it happens often, so I really think it might be harder to kill someone in the back. So what you think, and don't say anything about bad aim because that would make you a stupid twat.

This has been an issue for a while, since S2 came out it does seem like hit detection when behind an enemy is especially bad.

I don't see it, I use a shotgun and BOOMHEADSHOT!

It seems like you are just missing or it's lag. When I come up behind someone I stop moving and fire in bursts to increase the accuracy of my shots.

This isn't halo. Back shots do just as much dmg as frontal.

A person's head is also tucked in looking at the back of them. So it's harder to get a headshot..when facing them normally their grill is right there so it's easier to get a headshot..and we all know how long it takes to kill someone without getting a headshot in this game.

I would like to say it's lag, and I know I'm hitting the person because blood has been replaced with the puffs of air coming off the body when you hit them. Although it's doubtful, the game could be designed so you can take a little extra damage to the back.

There's no difference. I find it to be equal.

There is no difference. Lag could always play a factor. Either way hit detection isn't the greatest in this game, front or back, imo.

If you shoot a person in the back with a sniper it really doesn't matter because as long as its above the waist it does kill him or her.
