No one has, so all these people talking out of their assholes about what would work and what wouldn't, especially when just about all of them are Planetside PLAYERS instead of Planetside DEVELOPERS means a sum total of jack and coke. Mmmm...
I think the original reason behind headshots was A) no insta-gib and B) lag. Though I loved the random jackass on Forumside back in the day who would swear they did have hitboxes. Anywayz. Technology has changed, dev tools have changed, PCs have changed, loads have changed, internet connections have changed, Obama advocates change, I change the lad's diapers, you get the point amirite?
So. Here's what I propose - implement two hitboxes - one headshot and one body block. The headshot box should be, naturally, no bigger than the head. Have it stress-tested on PS:N servers. Let's put it to the test. Try it out. See if it works. Get five hundred people on all three empires and let's have ourselves a headshot test session. If it's a fail, take it out. That simple.
