Three years after its release, Valve is finally looking in to tweaking the hitboxes in its competitive shooter, Counter Strike: Global Offensive. This is something that has affected the game since its launch and has often been complained about by players.
For those who don't know what a hitbox is, it is the part of a character model that registers when a bullet has hit. Valve decided that it was about time to take a look at the problem after a video rose to the top of the CSGO subreddit, showing off a crouched enemy player taking no damage from bullets fired at point blank range.
In the thread, Valve employee, Matt Wood, responded saying that hitboxes were “being worked on” but there is no current release window for a patch. Counter Strike Global Offensive is one of Valve's highest selling titles, it has also made a big splash in the eSports scene.
However, the game is often plagued with hackers, some of which are even part of professional teams. Additionally, there have been a few reports of match fixing between competing tournament teams in order to profit from gambling. It is all a bit of a mess really.

KitGuru Says: As much as I like CSGO myself, it does have some glaring issues. The gun play is not nearly as accurate as it was in Source and there are quite a few hackers around, especially in the lower competitive ranks.Do any of you play a lot of Counter Strike Global Offensive? Have you encountered any frustrating issues with the game?
The hitboxes on the chickens are the worst I think.
Might be my crappy work computer, but I don’t think so. That GIF is the worst animated GIF ever. Doesn’t show a damn thing, frozen on the relevant part of the video clip. I’ll try it again on a decent computer when I’m not at work but still.
must be you PC bud, it does work ok even though it looks like it was recorded on a mouldy potato, OR the PC you are using has decided not to display such low quality video……you never know.
Actually i get better reg on the chickens. Even when they are running.
Oh man. I know CS:GO is a competitive game and performance is utmost key but holy shit that resolution! There’s a difference between getting as much FPS as possible (Even though CS:GO is insanely optimised for competitive intentions anyway) and being able to actually see
its the gif. The gif can only go to 24 -60 fps. The game for me runs at 200+ fps
@garygazzakeen:disqus @disqus_2jUBAWaTbk:disqus I just looked at the gif, it’s a 1920x1080p gif. I viewed it fullscreen, and it was completely high quality.
*slow clap*
I play every night with my buddies. We’re ranked between MG1 and MG Elite and we’ve found that this range has more hackers and wallers than the silver tiers. Its quite frustrating that the most competitive Esports shooter can’t sort this shit out
Makes you wonder whether all this time, effort and faith in valve is misplaced ..
Yes the gif is a poor quality gif, however pro’s and other high level players tend to use a 4:3 res due to the bigger models making it ‘easier’ to hit targets hence the general poor quality look to the game.
DMG/double ak and play with LEM there are hardly any cheaters at the moment – I get accused a lot due to map and timing knowledge meaning I can pre fire.
honestly gold nova had a shit ton of cheaters as it’d be their starting rank mg1 is super easy and basically no cheaters supreme and global now that shit sucks major dick where it’s riddled with cheaters and people who are ungodly at the game.
I run 300 fps max quality except on certain things which do either nothing or would make the enemy harder to see. (see 3klicksphilip for optimal settings for vision I have shadows and other bits higher to make the game look prettier)
Wait till you get to Supreme 🙂 *noscoped across mid*
everytime i hit Legendary Eagle i start running into spin bots and wallers until i derank back to DMG i definitely try to stick to ESEA and CEVO on occasion.
running everything on low except shadow quality is optimal for competitive play btw

Actually you should have fairly high anti-aliasing. also shadow quality is better for competitive play being lower (although the very lowest tends to do really weird crap like sudden popping into vision shadows).
Gold Nova through MGE is a train wreck now hackers derankers u name it Absolute garbage! My main account is LEM and I cannot for the life of me get my alt past MGE without Hackers and crap! I can play LEM all day and stay at that rank but they need to fix this game for once and all.
