Question: Does the damage variey per-shot location?

I.E as a Infiltrator does it matter weather I aim for the head or the ass of a enemy grunt or enemy infiltrator.

Not in this game. There's no hit zones.

It doesn't matter where you hit someone, the damage is the same. Range will decrease the amount of damage done for most weapons. Vehicles will do damage based on how fast they were going when they hit you. Area effect weapons will often deal damage based on how close you are to the center of the blast.

That sucks, really lowers the amount of skill that is needed to be actually "good" at this game in some ways. I.E Aiming and not just spraying.

The no hit box and COF both make the game more "lag friendly". Basically it deceases the advantage LPB's (low ping bastards for the young'uns) have over the HPB's.

Not really. You still need to aim pretty well to actually hit the person. If you spray your COF just gets huge and you miss 90% of the time.
