Well that sucks, I konw Ive given people a bloody head with the sniper, and they didnt die but I didnt think it was this bad. Maybe it isnt the unusual, Ive never seen another games hitboxes shown like that (except fighters where I study hit boxes RELIGIOUSLY).
This is quite typical for a source game... it's mostly to counteract lag and it works for that. This is a hard problem to tackle.
Did the connection issue get fixed? I know there was an update, but all I heard was that it fixed the intel falling through the floor (happens in 2fort all the time).
knowing all source games ahave this problem, I'm not even a bit surprised, for the number of times I died behind a wall as a scout and having a backstab not work as a spy. I this last concern, this is why a pyro owns so much now with the backburner, because it barely relies on it.
So do we have the lag compensation on or off on our servers?

It's a client side variable, so you set it on your machine. I don't know if it is on by default or not though ???

Oh. That's good to know. Can I run the command in the console or do I need to put it into a text file somewhere (and if so, where)?

It should be fixed, havent played since. It was in the release notes though.

this may explain a little better.
It seems that lag compensation is already on by default, so this video seems to be at least presented in such a way to create controversy.
But if you want to make sure type "cl_lagcompensation 1" in your console.

Glad you admitted you were wrong 8)
I don't like it when duck posts without getting a good night's sleep.
Also you will notice I edited the top post to reflect all the new information.
Sigh..this already happened with CS:S. People just wanting attention by creating controversy. There is nothing wrong with the damn hitboxes.
Now if only gears of war could get this... :
the hitboxes are a bit fucked, cause I have headshotted people, and there is blood on the model, but it did not even hurt them o.o
