Bulky rocket

[Batausu]

Have you noticed when you are on the edge of a building, watching a tank down below and fire your rocket, most times it hits the edge and often you die?
Or if you are behind an obstacle, you stand up, aim, fire and hit the obstacle!
Is it a bug or a 'feature'?

Yea, could be 2 things, crappy programming or crappy aiming.

That has happened to me so many times.. it really ****ed me off. Im at a edge of a wall in zoomed mode with a clear view. I shoot my rocket, and it instantly explodes and kills me.

Seeing it happen to someone else is extremely funny though. :laugh:

This is an issue in many games. I think it's due partly to bad collision detection and that the rocket is an actual projectile. Most weapons int most games are hitscan and don't produce projectile. They only check if your shot intersects with the enemys position.

It's because your looking through the viewfinder and it's off slightly from the place where the rocket actually launches. Like, take a regular camera and look through the viewfinder.. It may seem like a good shot, but your fingers are covering the actual lens. Now, this may be intended and it also may not be :P

Not if it's a SLR or DSLR :P
