There IS a post about this I made.

Basically the way it is looking ring, is like this.

Say me and you are in a firefight.

I am shooting you, I get say 5 hits to your chest at first but recoil makes my bullets move up to your head and the final 3 hits are on your head. Now... Basically from what we have seen from GDC and that GT footage is... Those last 3 hits are not one shotting you. They are doing extra damage, and if those 3 hits are what kill you it labels it as a headshot. Your not getting one shot if they hit your head, your just taking extra damage. Make sense?

Why do I think thats how it works? Because in both footage reels, multiple shots were made on the target but headshot still popped up. Thus showing it wasent a OSOK, but a increased damage hit. Instead of taking 5 damage your taking 10 kind of thing.

Yeah, I'm really excited with how the jumpjets are looking. They are short and quick. Just enough to get up on the roof, but not too much where you can hover around all day.

Very much more of a jumpjet than a jetpack if that makes sense.

in comparison with the main event footage, i thought that the popcount was too low to give a good representation of ps2 and what it is about.
I even saw some comments that said the person didnt see how ps2 was different from other shooters. The gametrailer footage doesnt clearly show that ps2 is a mmo-fps with lots of players, which the main event video did much better in comparison.

What do you think?

Having driver gunners made that Mag defenceless, I really hope they reconsider pilot-gunner setup.

Are you serious this is still Alpha game play! Nothing is set in stone, even then it looks like Higby used a console command to get more ammo.

I actually don't think he was serious, but this is the internet and people do a lot of odd things.

And explain to me how is this ANY different then in real life or most games?

You dont see M1 Abrams fending off helicopters in BF3... (Unless the driver switchs to the secondary position) Its a main battle tank... without a secondary gunner it SHOULD be weak to air... its the way it was meant to be.

I don't know if anybody noticed. But its a 10 sec wait on the jump jets after you use them till you are allowed to use them again.

You reckon that's enough of a restriction?

I'd rather see a total amount so it's used carefully and tactically, not every chance you to gain the high ground instantly. Just 10 seconds... I mean stamina regain in an infil suit took about that long in PS, but then didn't give you full benefits of a minute of surge immediately as you'd risk using it up again straight away.

Having to dose and plan ahead is a good thing as it provides incentive to play smart instead of relying of what could become seen as an occasional/frequent crutch.

I'm pretty sure what you're seeing is the afterburner recharger, not the health regenerating.

Edit:

Just kidding, I saw the health tick up a bit. I really hope that's just for the demo.

No, I don't. I feel like the CD on the jet pack should be longer. Say 30 seconds maybe even a minute. I would rather people use the jet packs strategically. There needs to be a risk/reward with it. Not a shit I'm about to die hit the jets. I feel like with it being 10 seconds all its going to turn into is a zergfest so to say with people hopping around every which way with it being so fast.
