Yes. Absolutely annoying.

EDIT: Just realized it said like or dislike... I mean no, I dislike it entirely.

I think it is useless. Most weapons won't deal too much damage, so you can see it from the hitmarker if you headshotted or not. And there is really no point in hearing if you get headshotted by enemy, it's more like annoying.

Ikr? It's like, Woopity doo, you managed to hit my head. Now stop making it sound like you're shooting clays every time it hits my head.

I'm fine with it. TBH, it does not really bother me.

There was a new headshot sound in GU7?

Gatekeeper · 2013-04-23, 09:35 AM

I actually really like it - now when some ninja bastard kills me in a split-second when I was sure I had the drop on him, at least I know for sure it was because of a string of head-shots...

In other news: some people sure are good at head-shots

WSNeo · 2013-04-23, 09:36 AM

I like it. While you're dying it informs you that you were hit in the head once or twice before you died. Whenever you're killing someone, you're rewarded with the indication that you did successfully nail a headshot or two.

I hardly ever get annoyed when I lose a one to one firefight or if I get headshotted by a sniper as the hit indicator informs me what happened, and how I can avoid it in the future if a medic immediately rezzes me.

the sound of someone taking the top of your dome off like it was tin can, I like it actually

When I first heard the "ping" sound I couldn't help but think of Monty Python. Then again I do think about Monty Python quite a lot, in fact I'm thinking about it right now... Anyway.

I do find it humorous at times, the headshot sound not the video, to hear it and immediately go "thud" onto the ground. Other times it can be a bit irritating when all I hear is "PING!", which usually indicates that there is a hacker around... Which brings me to another point, it might make me more aware of aimbotters... Well, if I failed to notice the 10 people said hacker just killed in the matter of seconds with his/her SMG at 100 meters. So there's that.
Oh, but it has made me wanting to aim for the head more often. Not so much as to kill my enemies faster but to make sure that the last sound the bastards hear before they go "thud" is the same sound I hear before I scream out an assortment of swears... Especially when I get sniped when trying to revive someone, dirty snipers... Mash that dirty sneaky scum, kick 'em in the teeth where it hurts. Kill! Kill! Kill! The filthy bastard snipers, I hate 'em! I hate 'em! Aaargh! Aaargh!

So in conclusion; I have no idea why they added it in, besides just for kicks, but I'm OK with it. Mostly because I do like machines that go "PING".
I do wonder... What's going to happen when they add in hats to replace helmets? Is it still going to go "ping" and if so why do we all have metal plates in our heads now? Who tampered with the revival tubes to implant them, was it you Clegger? Did you Clegg it up!?

DirtyBird · 2013-04-23, 10:28 AM

I assume its a sound that players getting hit hear?

Maybe Roy can extract it for us to listen to.

Canaris · 2013-04-23, 10:29 AM

Well tbh I'm hoping for some more ping sounds in the gun fire, any time the VS or NC attack a TR position it should be a lot like this

Once you watch it listen again with your eyes closed to the sounds
