Important Notes:
The studio and development team are aware of the requests to improve hit mechanics. Here is a repeat of Kevin's response to the comments on this issue for any who missed it:
We hear you about the hit detection. We are working on it. Hit scan would not solve the problem (at this time). This is a larger problem related to network prediction. Network prediction helps deter the problems associated with network lag. As an example, the client sees a running player in one location but the server sees him a meter ahead of that, thus making it difficult to shoot him. This makes it feel like you have to lead the shot but in reality you are predicting where the player is on the server. We are bringing in a team of network prediction experts beginning next week to start taking care of it. This also encompasses the issue with the jittery spectator camera. We want to get this fixed as soon as possible.
Hitscan and weapon mechanics will be reviewed after these fixes are implemented.
