Explaine the hitboxes to me

[MonkeyWorks]

I see people talk about the hitboxes in CSS
Maybe a stupid question but wth are ya all talking about :dunno:

It refers to the makeup of different areas on the body that sustain different damage when shot.
Head, neck, shoulder, chest, upper arm, lower, etc
All these take different damage.

Salem likes to complain that the hitboxes are innacurate.. but he's just a whiney baby. :hump:

Actually, its true. The head hitbox in CS source is quite a bit larfer than the one in CS 1.6. This is the reason why people sometimes get head shots while firing at the victims torso or sometimes even feet :crazy: ...It also has a lot to do with the net coding of the game. Atrocious really. Anyways, Valve will eventually fix it, we just dont know when. Right now it seems that they're just into customising source a bit more with maps and stuff. :dunno:

I found this on the Steam forums about hitboxes and why they lag behind the player. I'm sure most of you already knew this though.

actually i didn't know about that. thanks Decaff.

in other words we have to worry about our preverbal hitbox "shadows" while strafing and such. makes sense now... which means now i have to worry about two arses instead of just one. oh joy! (sarcasm)
