More headshots in UT2007!

[Vault]

headshot shaft is LAME.

 

[->Sachiel<-]

Headshots for every weapon is LAME.

 

[Vault]

the word LAME is LAME.

 

[->Sachiel<-]

You used that word twice in one sentence, your LAME.

 

[gregori]

Severly paralysingly crippled?

This thread is dead.

 

[gregori]

So are lots of people but i won't hold that against them!

 

[Vault]

and i wont either....cause that would be LAME.

 

[->Sachiel<-]

How bored are you Vault?

 

[Vault]

very very very..

and thats LAME.

 

[Neophoenix]

Don't you know? He has a quota to make. If he doesn't make so many posts a day he gets a whip to his back. lol . And no it's Phoenix, I've been fighting to keep this name to myself because someone else online seems to like using the name NeoPhoenix too. :tdown:

As for the HS thing, flak primary, link secondary and bio goop wouldn't be able to get HS, because they would all be to easy. The increased damage would still be the same though.

 

[Vault]

thats acutally true....

In CS:S 50% of the kills are headshots because all weapons are able to get headshots and it has per-poly hit detection (unlike CS 1.6 with its crappy hit boxes).

No it doesn't. Doom 3 has per poly hit detection. It has a max player limit of 8 (thanks to the expansion pack).

CS uses hitboxes, but they're a hell of a lot more accurate than CS 1.6.

 

[EL BOURIKO]

Most times i've got them in ut2kx have been by accident, which isn't nearly as rewarding!

Oulalalalala.... same with me! and even more embarrassing when I try to snipe player A and I get an headshot because I accidently/luckily sniped player B :S (happened once)

go play some CS:S

You'l never take me alive, Counter Strike!

Please dont make it easier, but make it so that if you hit the head you really get a headshot... tbh I would rather see it go, it's mostly luck anyways, sure you get more headshots as you get better but that is because you start to hit better with the LG/Sniper overall... the big majority of the headshots still come as a surprise, even if you are the best in the world...

Ya, and usually I shoot in the middle of the box where I think the head is and i still get the normal hit...

 

[1337]

Shoot right above where the neckbone is, unless it's going through some crazy animation like a flip, in which case shoot where the neckbone will be or was midway through it's animation. Ex: Tamika is in flipping animation during a double jump, so shoot at the bottom of the hitbox regardless of where Tamika's head is in the animation.

I think it makes more sense being rewarded for shooting in an area above the neck instead of hitting someone in the forehead, becuase in models unlike juggernauts the rest of the body is exposed as well as the head so it doesn't make anysense why someone's forehead would be weaker than the rest of the body, unless it penetrated the bone or caused brain damage, which none of animations or particle effects in ut2k4 imply, plus, after the headshot, the skull of the character flies off and if it wa the sks a headshot, the skull would have broken, but the head flying off a character more implies that the connection between the head and character was severed.

The head in headshot is the only thing misleading about the headshot system in ut2k4, I think it's better than the alternatives available.

So you want it made easier because you don't have enough skill to do it. That's what this thread is basically about.

I have just the game for you. Tic-tac-toe.
