Headshots should be instant kill in every game

I think whenever somebody makes a headshot in an FPS it should be a 1-hit-kill. I hate seeing a player, and quickly lining up a headshot only for me to have to put two or three more rounds into the player. I don't think this would be a game breaker as it takes decent skill to get them regularly and it's really satisfying to get that unintentional headshot on somebody and see them drop with one bullet.

Does anybody know if any of the guns besides snipers are 1-hit-kills to the head in BF3? Imagine you've successfully flanked 2 or 3 enemies behind a wall, building, rock, etc. and you're standing there with your weapon, be it a pistol or a rifle and you've got three beautiful stationary targets. Is it not insanely fun to do three quick shots to take them all down? There's something about quick accurate 1 hit kills that's so satisfying.

Imagine this but with a pistol.

Well true...I should have said games like Call of Duty, Battlefield, Crysis, etc. Games like TF2 and Battlefield Heroes shouldn't. I don't want to use the word "Realistic" because you guys will jump all over me so I'm trying to find the right word for the particular genre of games.

Okay you are wrong and I will explain why: Because random headshots are a game-breaking issue.

Headshots should never do significantly more damage unless the weapon is:
a) slow to fire, eg. sniper rifles etc.
b) 100% accurate, eg. WolfET style.

Random deviation mixed in with OHK headshots is absolutely frustrating, bad, and broken in games like CSS and BF2.

If I shoot somebody in the head I want them to be fking dead. In COD4 if I see a guy running across the street and do a sick 1 shot hit to the head I want him freaking DEAD.

well you have two choices in cod4. either play HC and they'll be dead from a hs, or you can just, like, hit again. 3 hits to kneecap at any range = kill in that game anyways.

you might think random headshots are "cool" but once you reach a certain level of skill just to get randomly headshot by clueless retards all over again you'll realize what i mean

What did you think of the AK101 in BF2?

The OHK headshot part of it is completely unnecessary.

In the Syphon filter 2 for the PS1 there was a cool little system in the singleplayer where the AI could headshot you. There would be a little warning when a NPC got a headshot lock on and if you didn't get behind something in the next half second you were instantly killed.

Does anyone else remember this?

Heh.

BF2 - rifle bodyshot at long range, then headshot with pistol to finish them. Always fun.

bodyshot + 1 pistol bodyshot kills unarmored infantry. most people still don't realize this and try to kill medics with 2 rifle shots instead, which is a bad move because most of the time they'll be full health again when you line up the second shot

Not every head shot, even in those games. Might as well not wear a helmet if every small fragment of something can kill you in one hit.

I heard helmets aren't too good at stopping rifle bullets, but they deflect them alright. I also read somewhere they're more for shrapnel and general head trauma prevention than stopping bullets.

I love Syphon Filter. Yes I do remember that. You had to roll to evade cpu headshots. Good times.

I also heard you can get tetanus from rusty metal, but that doesn't mean I want to see it in an action FPS. Go play Arma or Project Reality.

"piss off, we all have different opinions on what is fun. don't use those two words in a sentence again"

Apparently I'm not allowed to use the words "realism" and "fun" together in the same sentence. So there goes "Realism in a game is fun"!

Shifty, if you want realism and OHKs in a game, then go play a game that's geared towards realism, and leave the more arcady games to proper balance and fun. Don't QQ when the popular games aren't what you want.

helmets stop pistol bullets

piss off

imo, rifles should be a ohk if you aim right but pistols should not, unless the target is not wearing a helmet.

Plus if you want to be realistic you should aim center mass anyways, unless you're facing targets that are suspected suicide bombers.

And plus, not every game needs to be super-HARDKOAR-tactiCOOL-elitle-operator-realism-simulator-game. Look at shit like TF2, where only one type of gun can headshot, and it ends up ruining the whole game for everyone.

I agree, but if there are helmets there should be a chance of deflection. Either way you should be knocked out or at least stunned.
