Near Impossible Headshots

I do agree but he is sprinting so it makes sense. This will no doubt be tweaked in beta if not relized before hand.

Nice but I can definitely agree that the way the NC and TR play is that they might be soldiers but definitely not scholars

The funny part of all this is the OP thinks the backpack has more armor then the body armor thats meant to lessen bullets damage. LOL

I aslo see this backpack as a easy target being so shiny it will stand out big time just aim at the top & boom free kill.

If anything the OP should ask them to re color it to help the poor vanu from being spotted so easily.

i think that they could make backpacks that stop 50cal if they wanted to

Nope.

OP: Though i think the bullet will just go through the backpack... problem solved.

I hope headshot on MAX's increase damage only when at 0 armor

it wouldn't be a backpack at that point it be a solid object or a safe at arund 1500lbs lol.

unless you are trying to say a tank is just a super big backpack xD lol

@Ceska

Look at all the MAX units None of them have a super armored helm the helm is no more armored then the heavy assault.

MAXs have allot more overall HP.

If you watch some of the E3 footage PPL were owning with maxes day 1 by day 3 a heavy assault killed 3 max units in about 6s per max unit he was putting his LMG into the MAXes head about 4 meters away xD was funny to watch best part was he died to a medic lol. the MAXes were total nubs but it showed that MAXes were not the omfg run away its a max crap.

[Ceska]

Yeah, I've seen that MAX's are far from being unstoppable... I hope they will find a usefull role for MAX's, it's not obvious from footage

NB : they still have the more armored helmet of every class,from a visual point of view

I yet to see if you can flash bag a MAX if so MAXs might be in deep crap because they will be used often in close combat

That is not what I would call near-impossible. Besides, people will make what you call "near impossible" shots all the time (It's not like it doesn't happen in real life).

If someone peeks their head out from behind cover, for instance, they're going to eventually get shot in the head - it's the only place they can get shot. (Assuming all enemies don't get taken out first, heh)

[Toppopia]

What will make headshots even more awesome, if the lag compensation is good and i play with my 150-200ms latency and shoot people who are in the open on my screen but are in cover on their screen, ahh. Good times..
