A Twitter user uploaded a video where they were shooting a largely stationary target with a sniper rifle onCall of Duty: Warzone. Understandably they were frustrated that this had no impact and they were shot by another sniper as a result of their shots not registering. For a game that is built on bullet collision principles, this is a significant issue and co-design director of multiplayer Joe Cecot has now intervened. The Twitter user asked Cecot directly “who do I talk to about this?” and the Infinity Ward staff member was quick to respond with a reassuring message stating, “Looks like miasaligned collision. Reported, thanks!”
