Trust me its come a long way from when I started playing in the Alpha. More features and a map will be coming soon. I'm involved in all the pre-patch development testing each week and should be something special coming in the next one.

Some of your points are valid but keep in mind the ue4 build has been in development for less than a year. Ue3 build was scrapped. I'm not a fan of the hit detection either,and character is way to stiff for me. That may be why the 3rd person seems off. Not trying to make excuses just sharing thoughts. And price did seem steep. I cant speak for the bans,some people cant differentiate constructive criticism from trolls. I think over time it will be a good game,but it still has a long way to go,just hope people are willing to wait that long.

Here are your patch notes for this mornings update.

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.

I totally missed testing that patch before release,but we are testing another today and hopefully i got time to try it out in the morning when I get off work. They really are listening. Have patience.
