    Also, is the fade crouching hitbox fixed? Will I still have to aim at the lower body/legs to score hits on a crouching fade?

    Ya i messed with that, the whole head/upper shoulder was unhit able. I have no idea why people would aim for the head (no loc based damage) anyway, but its still a bug.

    Well I wouldn't be aiming for the head per se but if I aim at the centre with a shotgun some of my pellets are bound to not score a hit when they should because the head/shoulders are not really there.

    Also fades crouched behind buildings very often only their heads poke up so you would have to aim there before you rounded the building to get a better shot.

    when a skulk gets near you and you shoot it with a shotgun, it does no damage unless you hit it from the side. it's pretty common since shotguns are a close range weapon in the first place.

    The "spark" bug still exist's, just Flayra turned off the actual spark's so you can't tell what's a "bad aim" or a "sparkler gun" miss.

    Yeah the way it was put in the changelog made is sound like he thought the bug was only the sparks and nothing else... I hope he really doesn't think that... Skulks would almost never kill shotgun marines head on when and if they fix this.

    Agreed. The sparks are the only thing gone.
