has no idea the impact his videos can have when they show off some exploit? check.
Actually, I think the point behind him showing off those exploits is so people use them to the point that valve has to fix them. He's literally taking the nuclear approach to something that isn't that bad because of people not knowing about it instead of filing a bug report.
Team Fortress 2's hit detection mainly work's like this. The hitboxe's generally work fine i'f the client is either stationary or has a reliable internet connection with no latency issue's. The problem mainly appear's i'f the client has latency issue's because the hitboxe's may not be entirely synched properly with the actual player model. The larger the latency spike, the more further apart you may notice the hitboxe's position to be. So for example, i'f you're moving forward's, the hitboxe's will be behind the player and i'f you're moving backward's the hitboxe's will be further infront of the player model.
The exact reason I stopped playing, I just couldn't take that anymore.
Edit: On that note, anyone want a free set of Buck Turner All Stars? I've been trying to sell the damn things off and on for about a year now, it's just not worth the ~$5 I would get for them
