said by urbanriot:I was playing the beta and the hit detection was absolutely terrible so I stopped playing it altogether. You fire away point blank with machine gun and no one's hurt, but sometimes you randomly kill people by missing them.
How long ago was that? I found in the release-day patch I seemed to be more effective with my shots.
As someone who's played 1.6 and many hours of Source and now 40+ hours of GO, I think it's a pretty good game. Definitely worth the buy for the $15 or whatever it costs, you can't really go wrong, and Valve/Hidden Path has done a great job listening to the community and pushing fast updates for bugs.
Avoid Valve servers if you can though - they all have some serious lag issues. At first I thought it was my connection since it happened all the time but I saw a lot of complaints in the chat as well.
