The conclusion of our tests regarding hit boxes is that they are extremely accurate. The only slight quibble with head hitboxes is that they extend down onto the neck a little ways, but side to side and above they're dead on as far as we could tell.
Interesting to know. Thank you for the information.

With that in mind, the bonus damage zone / 1 hit kill zone could be smaller "bulls eye" part of the head, because it's just too easy to get headshots, which means headshots aren't special, and I think is a missed opportunity for some depth in the game.

I personally know that I sort of point my assault rifle in the general upper area of the enemy and unload until one of us dies, which I don't really consider to be skillful play, yet 21% of the time I get headshot kills with my main assault rifle. That Vadershake guy gets headshot kills 19% of the time with his main assault rifle and his KDR is less than mine. That just seems "off" to me and I feel it cheapens the "skill curve" in the game.
