Well goddamn now I know why I'm a shit sniper, the trick is to not shoot anywhere near the player... those hitboxes are retarded. This video makes me angry.

I know some of the reasons behind the hitboxes being apart from the models is to try and compensate for lag in a player's connection but seriously?

Wtf at 2:15, a 6v6 clanmatch and a scout misses him with what's probably time for four shotgun shots?

Edit: He made a kill at 8:14 when the player wasn't even on the screen!

And what's this stupid weapon flicking thing he does and the mouse circling wavey thing, some counter strike rubbish?

The hitbox issue is everywhere these days which is funny when in UT99 you could have 300+ ping and the hitboxes would be fine while having anything over 30 in TF2 it struggles to catch up to the fat ass of a heavy.

The cherry on top of the cake is the huntsman, but don't worry, all the steam forum sniper players will tell you you're the noob for not knowing an arrow is a projectile

[Exterminatus]

an arrow is a projectile

No shit? So I guess projectile weapons such as... well... ALL weapons other than melee ones should also shoot around corners, magically change trajectory at the last second and hit people that are actually right behind you.
The hitbox thing is a bitch, yes, but it's only an issue with snipers since only their shots matter where on the body they land. I can tell you that a pyro's head is fucken hard to aim for since pyros are bent over a bit so their head ends up somewhere in mid air between their gas tank and their mask...

[Doomzor]

Well I have to disagree on pyros little heads, I get them quite often with my ambassador

Well, assuming he has been playing since TF2's release, there was a popular bug that allowed you to rescope and shoot again in nearly half the time by double tapping Q and rescoping. This was obviously unfair, so Valve added a timer between the shots you can take, to avoid this.

It could be that he's still doing that anyway, or it could just be why I do it; Sometimes, when I rightclick after shooting whilst scoped, the game jumps me back into scope when I don't want it. The most reliable way I suppose, to not get back into scope mode when you want to run/move around/ take a lash etc. is to doubletap Q for assurance.

That, or it is some hidden CS bollox I don't know about like it taks 0.00.32 seconds between being able to scope in or out and you can't afford to take the time to do that

The mouse circling is to keep his mouse moving, improving accuracy because of friction on the mouse from still to moving or some other bollox. Excessive is what it is.
