| − | ==Underwater arrow firing==
| |
| − | Though the weapon cannot be fired underwater, it can still be fired INTO the water at the cost of a heavily deflected trajectory. Enemies CAN be killed in this fashion. Would this fit better under Trivia or into Huntsman Strategy? --[[User:Atylonisus|Atylonisus]] 03:30, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | : Thanks for pointing this out. Looking at the [[Flare Gun]] page, a similar issue (firing into water) was covered as part of the introduction. I would suggest the same applies to this information. --[[User:Focusknock|Focusknock]] 19:35, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

| − | == Height-independent headshots? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I theorized the other day that, because arrows use the projectile hitbox, they cannot know where a class' head bullet-hitbox is, and that they use a system somewhat like "if hit in the upper sixth of the box then arrow in skull". Since all classes have the same size of projectile hitbox, this would mean that you can always get headshots by firing at a particular height, regardless of how tall the target actually is. Can this be tested? Do you get headshots by aiming at heads or at the top bit of the hitbox (which guys like the Engineer are rather shorter than)?

| − | :The arrows use the top bit of the projectile hitboxes. That's why the Huntsman causes so much rage: The "head" portion of the projectile hitbox is significantly larger than the player's actual head. -[[User:The Neotank|<font color="#FF8C00">'''The Neotank'''</font>]] ({{mod}}<small> | [[User talk:The Neotank|Talk]]</small>) [[File:User The Neotank Signeotank.jpg]] 03:10, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

| − | Basically, there are three options here - which one is it?
| |
| − | #Headshot range is the same for all classes regardless of model.
| |
| − | #Headshot range is lower for shorter classes, but still reaches to the top of the projectile hitbox.
| |
| − | #Headshot range is lower for shorter classes and shots that are still in the hitbox but too high are misses; the total size of the headshot area is the same for all classes.

| − | Option 4. The hitboxes are different for each classes.

| − | :Uh, yeah, but those are the '''bullet hitboxes'''. We're talking about how the Huntsman, which uses the '''projectile hitbox''', which is the same for all classes, decides whether a hit is a headshot. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] 23:30, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

| − | == Half-Life Weapon Similarity ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I know I've added this previously and it seems to have been taken down, so lets discuss it before I go adding it again.
| |
| − | The Huntsman seems to be very similar to the Half-Life 2 Crossbow. Both are projectiles and seem primitive. The both have large projectile hitboxes, causing the "it looked like it missed" kill. And the main similarity it, it pins enemies to objects if killed with it. Again, I'm not sure why this piece of trivia was removed. [[User:Danton|Danton]] 14:13, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

| − | == Reference ==
| |
| − | Is there enough correlation to add trivia that the Huntsman is named after the Freakazoid character[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73Wb14NZ01E]?

| |
| − | :The huntsman is also a large type of spider in Australia, and bows and arrows these days tend to be used for hunting instead of killing. Those are the two references I pulled from the name, anyway. I don't see any actual similarities between the Freakazoid huntsman and the sniper. -[[User:Unapologetically Bad|Unapologetically Bad]] 14:17, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

| − | == About the quote at the top of the page...==
| |
| − | I personally preferred the whole "Dinosaurs being bow-and-arrowed to death" thing over the recent edit ("I'm running outta places to put holes in ya"). Given that the new one can apply to the Sniper Rifle, as well, what makes it better? Is it because there exists related audio?
| |
| − | :I'm definitely agreeing on the dinosaurs quote being better. -[[User:Unapologetically Bad|Unapologetically Bad]] 17:33, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

| − | ::...It got changed again to another non-dinosaur related quote. Is it all arbitrary, or discussed elsewhere? [[User:InShane|InShane]] 01:59, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
