HEADSHOTS: SPARTAINS VS. ELITES

[XGC DWEEB]

Does anyone know if the headshot box for the Elite are larger than that of the Spartains? (like in h2)

 

[XGC BoonDock]

I think they fixed the headshot box around the players. Well what I am saying is I think they made it smaller. You actually have to hit the face now. And if that is the case, are the Elites heads bigger? So there is a larger box around them.

Spartans not Spartains.

And they made the Spartan And Elite hit box's the same in H3.

 

[XGC BoonDock]

Well Dweeb, there is your answer. I guess I was wrong.

i've watched it (cause im always an elite) i die just as quick as the spartans, no sooner or later.

meaning, it takes the same amount of time to kill both.

 

[XGC BoonDock]

I never thought there was a time difference. I thought the box around the Elites heads were bigger because their heads are bigger. I thought it was easier to get a headshot on an Elite than a Spartan.

spartans... spellcheck?!?!?
lolz, my bad.
i guess it's safe for me to use the dinosaur now...
i just didn't want to get killed faster.

Think of it like this:

The Elites are easier to shoot in the head from the sides, where as Spartans are easier to hit in the head from behind. They both have the same amount of hit-boxes, it's just that they're in different places.

 

[XGC BoonDock]

Yeah, you're right Acal.

Bungie fixed the hitboxes for Elites in Halo 3. I'm glad they did because I love wearing full Astetic (or however it's spelled) when I get tired of the Katana. So yeah, it's already been said but the Elite is easier to shoot in the head from the side while the Spartan is easier from the back; the hitboxes are the same just arranged differently.

I'm an elite player and yes they did reduce the range you can recieve a headshot on an elite. It's now the same as a Spartan. The only problem between the two is that sadly the spartan lunging range for weapon melees and sword lunges are farther than elites still. I think bungie hates elites. That's my opinion.

 

[KoG YoMoMmA]

All I know is I can definitely agree that it is way harder to snag the headshot in H3!

 

[ragdoll x]

actually
im almost positive elites have a farther melee and shotgun range
thats just my experience though

 

[SYN BL4CKTAIL]

And also, is it just me, or does it seem that it would be easier to stick elites then spartans, since elites are wider?

 

[mercn]

elites are way to hard to snipe in the back but easy for a 2 shot 1 kill

 

[I_Drav3n_I]

The misconception is this. The Elite's heads are lower on the body than the Spartans. Therefore, most people tend to correct for this difference, not knowing that in all reality it is relatively the same (In proportion to their body style). I believe that is where the issue is. For those who don't understand what I mean. It's as simple as this... [You have to know where the head (box) is in order to shoot it correct?] lol

 

[DVP17]

i dont care i get a head shot any way just besouse elites have *** heads and spartans have small

 

[I_Drav3n_I]

No, actually the heads are different in size like you stated, but the shootable area around each head is the same... So neither has an advantage.

 

[XGC HyPeR]

I find it much harder to kill an elite in SWAT especially from behind but changing to an Elite to play does nothing but make me worse its a confusing one.

 

[scabtastick]

it all depends about what helmet and how youare faceing with the character but generally the spartan head is bigger
