Valve confirms it is working on addressing long-standing issue.

 

Valve has confirmed it is working on tweaking the hitboxes in its competitive shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

 
Hitboxes, which are an invisible part of character models that register collision with bullets, have been a point of criticism for many playing the latest iteration of the popular first-person shooter.
 
 
Global Offensive's hitbox issues were more recently thrust into the spotlight when a video emerged of a player firing directly into a defenceless enemy at point blank range and doing no damage.
 
The video reached the top of the Counter-Strike subreddit and generated much discussion from incensed members of the community, who decided to send it to Valve employees.
 
Unexpectedly, Valve coder Matt Wood responded by saying hitboxes are "being worked on" but added that the company currently did not have any specific release window for updates that would enact the improvements.
 
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was co-developed by Hidden Path Entertainment and has become a popular title in eSports tournaments. Recently, the professional Global Offensive circuit has been plagued with match fixing.
 
Valve recently issued bans to a number of prominent professional Global Offensive players, preventing them from playing in high-stakes tournaments.
