Hitbox misalignment discovered in Counter-Strike 2

Twitter user Joleksu discovered a misalignment of hitbox and the player model in CS2. The results are based on testing using the 'bot_mimic' and 'ent_hitbox' console commands.

Joleksu mentioned that the problem is most noticeable when a player is looking down with a knife out, or with a bomb in hand. This causes problems with hit registration.

Other users have also noticed the hitbox misalignment and found out that the problem additionally occurs while running and planting a bomb.

Back in the spring, blogger Ansimist said that the developers had aligned head hitboxes in Counter-Strike 2. He noted that Valve increased the head hitbox volume by 4-20%, giving all objects a capsule shape.
