I think that the angle of which you can stand from in order to grab should be bigger than in SCCT. A lot of mercs get away with accidental hits instead of grabs... stupid. I don't know if it's a bug, or if Ubi made the grab only be performable on exactly one point. All I think is that spies should be able to grab as long as he is facing the back. Standing at the side and infront should remain a hit. 8)
It is a pretty big grab angle in CT, way bigger than in PT. I am not sure if bigger would be better, or if it is just the netcode that makes the grabs hard to achieve.
yea its not the angle, i've had ppl grab me from the side b4, its the actual hit box, it just needs to be a lil farther out from the merc

Well, it is easier to grab on the left side because of the right handed mercs. But, the netcode in CT isn't exactly top-of-the-line, and I think that is the culprit.
It's just lag issues really. Especially if you elbow him from straight behind. It's either hit detection issues or lag. I have faith that this netcode will be much better than CT's garbage one. I think that DA's grab was perfect. I mean the range you have to grab him was perfect. Of course there was no elbow so maybe that's why...
No, its the skewed position of the Merc's back relative to the hitbox.
thats what i said, the hit box is messed lol
prolly the 1 and only thing they fixed in da, or they just made it huge because u can elbow
Punch and grab being mapped on different keys like suggested a million times already will lead us all towards the light.
ALot of people have agreed on that idea for a long time now.
Yeah that would be the best solution.
I've done a lot of testing on the grab bugs in CT,
and found out that you can not grab from right behind, or a little to the left (well, mostly never).
You can grab from almost direct right side of him.
So... From the middle of the back, plus some degrees to the right, until the right side of the merc, you can grab.
Most likely because of the weapon.

Funny, because I can only grab from the left side of the merc and will always elbow if I go from the right side....

Same. Did you really test it or was that a typo?
Well, i'm pretty sure he means as if he was standing infront of the merc, so his left is our right and his right is our left...you know what I mean.
