Now that we KNOW headshots are planed.

Forsaken One · 2011-07-11, 02:32 PM

This thread is only for discussion on what we want to see assuming headshots are going to be forced on us no matter if we don't want them.

I seriously want the game to ether have CoD:MW1 TTK or the hardcore version of that TTK.

Why?

Because if headshots are going to matter at all I'd rather people die in a max of 3 bullets.
I DO NOT want the game to devolve into monkeys cycle strafing/jerking with the enemy trying to get a headshot first/the most headshots to win any firefights, even 1v1

Even if headshots are not OHOK the fact is it will turn into monkey shit because whoever hits the most headshots kills. meaning you will HAVE to try to go for headshots. making people forced to monkey style headshoting or just uninstall.

For all those against headshots, I'm organizing a huddle cry, because I too suck at aiming.

Why all the doom and gloom, headshots could just give a small damage bonus, say 25% or so - that sounds reasonable. We can't have a game like Planetside where you die in 2-3 shots like Call of Duty because there are so many people it'd just be a giant Cluster Frak.

I'll be sticking to vehicles. Don't need to worry about headshots when you're hurling tank shells

Were talking about a company that thought BFRs were a good idea.

Just sayin..

I'll happly take a cluster frak then the whole game becoming about running around with your crosshairs at head level.

Why not cry about people having better aim that you then?...Not fair if somebody just aims at my body and hits me 90% of the time when I cant do that.

Hit boxes make more sense and add more depth.

If somebody has great aim and hits you in the head 6 times with a pistol, and you hit him 30% of the times with jh on his body...You deserve to die IMO.

True you will have an advantage if you aim for the head, but it's such a small and hard target that most people won't. If it's still say 10 shots to kill an agile from an AR then that means its about 7 or 8 which you won't be able to land. If you aim for the head and miss you totally miss, if you aim for the centre of mass and miss you may hit the chest or leg or arms, your recoil might even walk you up to a headshot.

As long as the TTK time is pretty high headshots are relatively void unless you are supremely good.

I'm sorry. do you want a banana? I don't speak Monkey. I'm a human. with intelligence over dexterity. The way Humans were meant to be.

Trollololol

Those that do not wish for location damage can no longer whine about the skill-system removing player skill from the equation.

Not having finer aiming amounts to exactly that.

See, the problem is if you end up fighting against a few blokes that are supremely good. Switching servers is not really an option ... unsub + uninstall is.

Good job the ground isn't all flat then isn't it?

As it is you could argue that you run around aiming at belly button level, as that's the mid point of the hit box...

These are the people I feel bad for. As much fun as I like having a huge k/d I have enough empathy to realize that this is going to get insane. (Not that I won't enjoy it.

)

I hope we can upgrade our skill trees on armor to include a helmet that protects against headshots. Not that I want to waste time on something like that, but it sounds like it's going to be extremely useful when playing against my friend Beachball who from what I can tell is already aiming at people's heads when he plays.

Yeah... I too suck at aiming in comparison to the teen who has fast reflexes and doesnt ever come out of the house because he games 24/7. I have no problem with headshots doing more damage. They should. But the question is how much more. At the risk of sounding like a whiner, the biggest reason I like PS is because it takes more than good aim to play well. If fits ME, as selfish as that is. Hitboxes, headshots etc.. are needed in an FPS. No question. For me, personally, I wont play very long if I spend more time re-spawning than playing the game. I dont have the reflexes for twitch aiming against teenagers anymore. it's just a fact. and getting owned and told I suck by said teenagers is gonna ruin my fun and why play if I'm not having fun... and be paying for it no less...
