There are still issues with the hit boxes left over from the previous release. Basically, the hit boxes don't work very well with crouched players. What I've found is that it's impossible to head shot a player while he's crouched. You have to aim for the center of his chest to score a hit. Anything above that won't score a hit of any type. I'm not sure if this is a hull issue or not. If I understand the process correctly, I think the engine checks for a hit on the player's hull before narrowing down to the individual hit box. If the hull doesn't register a hit, then the hit boxes never come into play. This leads me to believe a crouched player's hull is messed up somewhere, but I can't figure it out. It's very annoying, cuz a lot of players want to snipe at each other and they're usually crouched. Then I have to listen to "Hey WTF?!?! I hit him in the head!" Chances are they did. But the engine won't acknowledge it. I'd be curious if someome found a way around this little problem.
