Sometimes I really don’t understand why I torture myself by reading video game forums, I guess I get some kind of a kick out of it. It makes me giggle sometimes to see the nerd rage that can surround single posts about unfair game mechanics or how someone died when the other guy should have died.

Today I decided to dive headfirst into the cesspit that is the Official Halo 3 Forum. After wading though the numerous piles of “Scarab in MP” and “Fix BR Spread” topics, I stumbled across something new and refreshing, something I haven’t seen in at last three days. A “Ban Elites” topic.

I’ve seen many of these topics over the last year, rage ranging from “aliens are stupid” all the way to saying the model is bugged. The majority of these complaints are aimed towards the use of the Elite player model in the “Team SWAT” playlist, where headshots reign supreme. I’ve taken some time to demonstrate one of these bugs.

More after the Break.

There appears to be a small hole in the hitbox just behind the model’s head, if aimed correctly, shots will go right through and deal no damage. I don’t see how this is a problem, as the chances of you hitting this hole while playing in matchmaking are probably the same as getting hit by a bus… drivin by me…

Of course there is a small fix to this, allow me to demonstrate:

AIM FOR THE FUCKING HEAD. NOT THE NECK. THE HEAD.
