Question on Headshots

Venoxile · 2003-01-03, 04:58 PM

Will there be headshots like there is in counter strike and ut2k3? I'm not saying htey'd be one hit kills but I'd like them to give more damage then a regular chest shot or a leg shot. If they didn't have headshots there wouldn't be any skill in aiming at infantry.

I don't think there is any bonus for a headshot except with the bolt-driver, hamma would know for sure.

Wow, that's incredibly gay, that would probably ruin the game for me. People shooting me in the leg to kill me. *shudders*

Also, how many assault rifle shots would it take to take down a medium armored soldier?

Yeah i'm hoping for seperate body damage as well but i get the feeling that's not how PS will work. I agree it sucks but well we can't really do anything about it.

Also, will your aim be all fucked up while moving like it is in raven shield, or will it be like ut2k3 where your aim is always perfect? Where no matter how fast your moving your bullets hit where your crosshair is aiming.

ps uses cone of fire. so yes it will be like raven shield.

ut2k3 uses pixel perfect

and i was hoping there'd be seperate body part damage as well.

So basically to hit anything at a distance we'd have to be standing in one spot, not moving. Wow, sounds great for snipers...

No sarcasm there, seriously, everyone will be really easy shots for snipers if anyone trys to fight back from a distance.

Yea but u cant one shot heavier armors.

I suspect this is somthing people will get pissed about.. I dont see how they cant implement region specific damage. Or whatever its called.

Ah crap i was looking forward to being able to give mor damage to someone by hitting them in the head it will be way to easy to hit someone thats why i love sniping that way it gives a good challenge evan though i said it will be way to easy i haven't played the game yet so it might be different.

I wouldn't worry to much about the cone of fire increasing when moving because all that really means is that you don't need to aim as well to hit the guy when moving because you reticle can be a fair ways off and a few bullets still hit the guy.

One thing I heard about having headshots is that it encourages aimbots, but I have seen an aimbot broken down and I have seen how they work, I am not sure how someone would use one with a CoF type aiming system, but it is probably possible. I don't think there will be headshots, based on the posts I have read about cheating.

The crosshair/circle thing adds a second circle when you're moving. That second circle indicates a larger cone, but that cone of fire (outer circle aim) dosn't get anny bigger until you start to actually fire, now if you fire while running you're only going to have the first few shots somewhat acurate then it's spray and pray... best thing seems to be to fire in bursts.

The less you move the faster the aim gets small again and the more time it takes before it starts to get big when you fire. Less movement = better aim... Running while shooting = crappy aim after the first 2-3 rounds.

Getting shot also increases the crosshair/circle and decreases your accuracy.

And if you're wondering where i got this info then watch gamespot video 11 and 12 =)
