Bomb Lance Melee Attack...

What exactly is the melee range on this thing? She was at least a good 5 feet away and looked like she completely missed and yet I'm suddenly on the ground dead.

If the bomb lance melee attack can hit people from 5 feet away, fine. But if not and you're supposed to be right up in someone's face like EVERY other melee weapon in order to successfully hit... then please fix it so it doesn't look like there's enough time and space between me and my opponent for me to try and take another shot. I should've tried to juke out of the way or quick switch to an uppercut...

Did look like you lagged a bit there but yes the range is very long

Yeah I figured afterwards that lag probably had something to do with it. Oh well, whatever.

Also thanks for providing that video as well, this clears things up. 👍

@OP,

No you're not lagging man. Look at your shot that hit her before she melees. That was an instant hit.

What looks like lag is actually the death animation/transition on your end. I've seen it with myself as well. It feels like lag the very instant you die but I think that is a bug. I've also seen it on one or two videos that other players have posted.

As far as the range on that melee, that was some bs but that's on crytek. People have complained about hit reg and I've seen it myself (most especially head shots that seem to just pass through targets). This is probably just another hit reg issue and that guy got lucky. You got robbed man.

Crytek needs to fix their $hit.
