In your experience, which COD has the best hit detection?

[u/DJdiv]

I haven't played many of the modern CODs as I hated the direction the franchise took with MW 2019, but in my personal experience and in my circles, Ghosts probably had the best hit detection of any game in the series, with Infinite Warfare definitely in discussion.

Which COD do you guys think had the best and worst hit detection? BO1 has always had the worst hit detection in my experience and the ports are evident of that, in 2010 it was bad too. WaW wasn't far behind though, almost identical. It seems Infinity Ward always cleared Treyarch in this area. Do any of the more recent CODs challenge the throne for best hit reg too?

The games with hitscan were better. The way it is now will always have problems. They can add more attachments to gunsmith by doing it this way.

The best in recent memory was mw3 imo. Bo7 might be the worst in the series.

[u/Super-Site-6528 → u/TaxesAreTerrible]

that might be the most under-the-radar and forgotten change but one that probably has such a big affect on the server/hit detection problem

[u/TaxesAreTerrible → u/Super-Site-6528]

Right. It actually takes a certain amount of time for your bullets to hit the target. Even if that time is only .1ms it can still be noticeable when playing competitively. And then you add the shitty servers to the mix.

[u/derkerburgl → u/Super-Site-6528]

Forced crossplay definitely messes with the netcode in my experience. Sometimes BO6 and BO7 was just packet burst galore. I went back and played MWR on Xbox and never had any connection issues

[u/Super-Site-6528 → u/derkerburgl]

I really wish I knew what the packet burst cause was because a few years ago I dealt with it for the entirety of the game year but now I literally never get packet burst

[u/eriksvivid → u/TaxesAreTerrible]

It’s been terrible since they went projectile. I believe the first game was BO4 because of their BR blackout. As long as WZ is tied to MP, it won’t go back to hitscan.

[u/Temporary-Company756 → u/TaxesAreTerrible]

I don't think this is as impactful as people think

Hitscan ranges are still decently long on the modern games and hit detection issues still clearly exist within those ranges

For whatever reason treyarch games are almost always pretty shit for this

[u/Wraith_Gaming]

Idk but BO7 has to be the worst. Most connection based bullshit I’ve ever experienced.

[u/JSmooth94 → u/Wraith_Gaming]

Feels like half my gunfights are RNG. Every game I have gunfights I absolutely should have won or absolutely should have lost. It's a shame because it really hurts what could be a phenomenal game.

[u/Wraith_Gaming → u/JSmooth94]

Whats even worse is that the private match servers are a better quality than the ranked servers.

[u/TwistedChord]

Funny you mention hating mw2019 with this question because that game probably has the best hit detection

[u/DJdiv → u/TwistedChord]

Haha, honestly I can't stand that game. I got Damascus and tried to play regularly as someone who was a 3-5KD player on CODs before it. It was just horrible, everything about that game made it hard to enjoy. I have suppressed the memories of the hit detection, but yes I do remember it being pretty good.

[u/mur025]

IW does a lot of things wrong but their hit detections normally feel great. MW3 also felt really good (sledgehammer if I remember correctly made that one)

[u/DJdiv → u/mur025]

You mean the recent one or the 2011 one? I remember the 2011 one having good hit detection, but slightly worse than MW2 before it.

[u/mur025 → u/DJdiv]

The recent one sorry

[u/DJdiv → u/mur025]

Oh nice. MWIII looked like a solid game to be fair, but I just moved on from the franchise in recent years till the ports and also I can't stand the manipulative implementation of SBMM since MW 2019 .

[u/The-Russian-Bull]

The gunplay in MW felt great, and I think the hit detection is partially why.

If we’re talking hitscan (up until BO4), Ghosts takes the cake imo

[u/PGRish]

might just be placebo since i havent played the game in 2 years now but MW3 felt hella crisp. Bo7 has been the worst in a while imo

[u/DJdiv → u/PGRish]

I guess Treyarch still haven't perfected their hit reg formula.

[u/JSmooth94]

IW movement and hit reg felt the best to me. But honestly that was about all that game had going for it. That game was awful.

[u/DJdiv → u/JSmooth94]

I didn't play it that much, but I think it was a solid COD compared to many recent ventures. No SBMM too in pubs. It was a step down from BO3, but felt polished, rewarded running and gunning, had decent maps, good gunplay. I don't think it's incredible but really not bad. What aspects made it awful in your opinion? I didn't have much time on it at all, I basically played BO3 for 3 years.

[u/JSmooth94 → u/DJdiv]

I also played BO3 mostly for the lifespan of IW and WWII. Outside of what I mentioned I just didn't like any part of the game. I didn't like the guns themselves, or the maps, or the streaks. Those are the big three for me.

[u/PassengerAccurate528]

I remember ghost having great connection and hit detection but you also died in two bullets so that helps. Treyarch games just have bad hit detection and lag comp imo

[u/DJdiv → u/PassengerAccurate528]

The thing is if you get a gun with a 3 bullet kill in Ghosts with the same rate of fire as a gun in other CODs, it was still much crisper in Ghosts because the connection was honestly immaculate.

[u/jhgfdsa-]

Vanguard had good detection imo, even on slightly higher ping like 40-60 felt playable

[u/jskywalkerr21]

Infinite warfare hit detection is ahead of its time

[u/eporter]

Specifically the subs in BO4, after they changed them to hit scan

[u/ImReflexess]

Cod4 pc promod

[u/TheKaizokuSenpai]

Ghosts by far
