Modern Warfare 3 hitboxes are lagging behind

PSX-Sense writes 'Ever had that wtf-moment in MW3 that you were thinking you hit an enemy but he still kills you? It's not that you're a noob, the hitboxes aren't just correct in the game. We've found several videos on the internet which you can check over at our site.'

This may be nick picking but isn't that first video from Black ops.

edit: glad to see it removed

Some of them are bad. From the videos is seems to be a quick scope issue except for that really bad pistol one

After 4 games on the same engine, you think these turds would get it right. SMH at all of you supporters.

I love sports games, but stopped buying the yearly updates at full price with barely enough added to make it a DLC.

jukins4565d ago

actually it probably plays just how they want it, quickscoping, auto aim, huge hit boxes, that way everyone can be good and have a big epeen and continue to buy CoD

gamingdroid4565d ago

Are you sure this isn't just lag?

I have seen this happen on a lot of games, I always assumed it was lag. If you can shoot around the character normally without hitting them, then that would be indicative it is lag unless your hit box changes you move.

Somebody should test this in a local private match, not assume based on specific conditions in a game. Somebody also mentioned a glitch in the theater mode... but I wouldn't know.

P_Bomb4565d ago

It's not lag. My wife and all her friends have been complaining to eachother about the same issue and all they play is COD. I don't play personally, but I watch and I've seen it as well. No doubt they'll patch it.

Pacman3214565d ago

^ Your wife plays cod and you don't?
Well i guess we know who wears the pants in your relationship..... :P

bub164565d ago

im so glad this video has come around, my friend is a p3 fan boy and i got mw3 on xbox, i kept telling my friend about this and he blamed me and my "crappy" xbox, now he can stfu

cyborg69714565d ago

This is on not just the ps but also your crappy xbox as well. Activision doesn't discriminate.

Boody-Bandit4565d ago

LOL!
Activision doesn't discriminate MW3 sucks on all formats. Instant classic.

Avernus4565d ago

Yet so many reviewers gave this above 8 and in most cases, almost a perfect score. The most important thing in a FPS is hit detection, yet they screwed it up, and that didn't seem a problem for reviewers? lol

zeroreloaded4565d ago

they were either paid or cod fanboys, i mean honestly even an idiot would know that this game has many problems and few improvements.

Hufandpuf4565d ago

reviewer:
BF3 - Oh, I can't destroy tanks by myself 7/10
MW3 - I can kill people faster 10/10

That cracks me up.

BraveToaster4565d ago

A lot of FPS games nowadays have bad hit detection. Bad Company 2 had awful hit detection until the patch that came out this September. Battlefield 3 has bad hit detection, Red Orchestra 2 has bad close range hit detection. All the CoD games since MW2 have had bad hit detection.

Fishy Fingers4565d ago

Didnt fancy the source headline then "Modern Warfare 3 Hitboxes not quite right?"

Oh well, I havent picked it up yet, hopefully any problems will be sorted out before I do. Either way, give you "real gamers" something to continually whine about, so thats a plus.

svoulis4565d ago (Edited 4565d ago )

It's just more hate-bait for COD, What you are seeing is just lag. when you watch a recorded game it makes everything seem smoother (i.e the guy getting shot with the pistol) on his screen the guy was where he shot, when recording it the guy was in front of him to make it not look like it was lagging.

The way MW3, tries to give you the illusion that the game isn't lagging is by making enemies run slower than usual (you can notice if you pay attention). This is no different than getting killed in BF3 when you your character gets rubber banned, and out of no where you die.

You know what cracks me up, how many people hate on this game, yet are playing it and enjoying it. Its a f@#kin game not a way of life. Enjoy it or don't, just dont look like a whiny 12 year old measuring your E-p33n while doing it.

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

melons33d ago

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac33d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

X-2332d ago

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris48d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera47d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii47d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts47d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX47d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos47d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast47d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.
