Parallel Shooting

[imported_Chewie]

How do you manage to shoot someone that is running parallel to your position? I find it nearly impossible to hit someone who is walking or running parallel to my position. I've tried aim carefully using single shot bursts as well as shooting slightly ahead of my target and rarely do I actually hit the target.

It's not a problem when the target is stationary or is moving towards or away from me.

Yes, welcome to the wonderful world of BF2 hitbox lag. It depends on your ping and the server you're playing on. Sometimes you aim right at the model, other times you need to lead your shots, and other times you need to shoot behind the model. And this can vary from minute to minute as well as server to server. Personally, if the target's sprinting, I don't even waste ammo shooting at him unless I'm playing support. Wait until the target stops sprinting and then shoot, because the hitbox lags less when he's not sprinting.

I also lead with me shots.

Re: Parallel Shooting

It is pretty hard to gun somebody down if this happens , I will normally run with him untill I can get along side him then blast him.

This should be made easier when patch 1.5 is out as hit boxes follow player models

Re: Parallel Shooting

Just lead your shots it's pretty easy I never had a problem with that...
