Is it just me or does pounce screw up sometimes?

Post by caleeb101 » 10 Apr 2017, 16:02

Today, as a MATURE HUNTER, I pounced at a smartgunner who was standing between a reinforced table and a wall. So yes, it was a straight narrow pathway. There was no escape. I smiled. Until I see five small characters in the bottom of my screen. '"Bonk!". I frowned, getting up and trying again since shooting downed xenos is such difficult task for some reason (not being sarcastic either, why is it so damn hard, it's easier to use a boot knife). And lo and BEHOLD! "Bonk!" again. I was sure I had pounced directly at the guy, my mouse was right on him. So what's up with that?

Like boiler cloud, for some reason you will move sligthly left or right when pouncing, or there will be a glass window not facing you but you somehow hit it, its weird.

For some reason these one tile wide pathways block things, similiarly to boiler gas.

Yeah. Whenever Inthrow someone or something near a 1/4 tile window, the window is hit.
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.
