Snipers, one shot one kill, or No?

[Tobias]

Should snipers get 1 shot one kill head shots?

[War Mongrel]

I say headshots are instant kills except for players wearing the heaviest armor.

One of the first pieces of Armor ever invented was the Helmet. It was invented to stop people from getting a kill with one blow to the head, and it has been very effective in it's job.

Throughout history people hvae sought out better weapons that could punch through the helmet, but every advance in weaponry has been met with an improvement in Helmet technology.

Now let's look at any of the PS player modles. They all have helmets.

Am I supposed to beleave that 200 years into the future a bulky and cumbersome helmet offers no protection? I think not.

Snipers should take a good portion of health, and even kill you with one shot if your already damaged, but it should take at least 2 shots (in the head, or body) to kill someone with Full health.

What about one-shot kills through the visor/front of the helmet?

If you shoot me in the face, I'd be happy to die in one shot.

In Tribes 1 there was no one shot one kill unless you hit this very small "Life Support" system light on the sholder (at least in IX mod, not sure about base since I didn't play it). Other then hitting someone in that spot it tok at least 2 shots.

n00b snipers were not over powering, and didn't screw up the game, and skilled snipers were truely something to fear. That's the way it should be.

Aye, newbie snipers just pulled out the laser/sniper/rail gun and stood out in the open plugging the other newbie Snipers in Tribes1. They were harmless, like gerbels.



And there were those fookers who could hit you from half the map away while you were in the air, i did not like them. I was somewhere in the middle.

Perfect explanation of how I'd like snipers to be Tobias.

Agreed. But i think light armors like scouts and cloacks should be 1 hit kills. All the rest would have less damage taken the more you go.

I can't believe i actually succeded in not using the first option! Phew it was hard.

[Tobias]

I picked the 3rd myself, aye cloakers should be one shot one kill, cause snipers cant cloak and therefor cloakers are evil.

I can't seem to find the option for "Quit posting all these shite polls"

[Tobias]

I actually had a poll about that airlift.

Sniper bullets to the chest should damage u at least 90%. Any shot to the head except pistol should be one hit kill. And a shot in the leg or arm areas should do little damage.
