(the last shot shows how wonky hit detection is. Gives an hit marker on the wall, but then the kill... i don't get it)

All of those seem like pretty lucky shots, your crosshair was huge the whole time, never tightened up enough to guarantee a hit.

That said, yeah, hit detection is weird. It's really irritating that the hit indicators are client side, it would be good to have better feedback on that, but they're usually accurate.

Yeah. As I understand it, some cheats used them to predict where the next shot was going to land. Hence the old every-shot-from-a-SHAW-at-70m-hitting-the-same-spot hacks.

Yeah, that's what I meant to show. It was all pure luck and I'd never replicate it. I get really frustrated with shot mechanics. The feedback is so bad between animations, markers, and lag. Times I track great and feel I'm clicking accurate shots, they're misses. Then in crazy bloom, crazy movement, pure panic shots at the wrong range like that gif I land each one...

Indeed! and congrats! Those seem fun.

No no, you get something no matter what, so it's not technically a lottery, you see, because that would bring up legal problems... :ssh:

Nice vid, Songbearer (and Daz again!). I'm excited to try that out.
Here's another that I managed a few times, but only once like this:



Also, that RFP event... what a debacle. I'm sad because I love the RFP so much but I'm not going to pay that much for the silenced one that's not even working at the moment. Wish they did something like the infected event for the .45.

The friends list main function is to keep track of where the try-hard assholes and annoying fuckwits are playing so you can avoid them. Considering the amount of try-hard assholes and annoying fuckwits in APB I think this could end up being a popular item.
