eyah FFA is the easyest.. im 1st everytime and I am about 20-40 kills higher then any other person, it is weird how much everyone sucks...

The best way is to shoot the head quite obviously hehe. Perhaps a gun that is accurate for one shot, G3, M14 etc.

Perhaps places where heads pop up often, like around the market on district.

well in the past 3 days i have got about 300 headshots with the SMG's and need a further 450 more tog et my gold Uzi, some SMG's are easier to get them than others i have noticed though.

aim down sights, don't spray from the hip. I've done all the challenges and it doesn't take that long really. Just always aim for the upper torso/head. Don't be afraid to wait a few seconds longer to aim if you're not being fired upon. You might have the chance the target is already behind cover before you can line up a shot but you'll still get more chance of a headshot then when you just shoot at him immediatly without aiming correctly.

Also try to sneak around the enemy and sneek up on sniper spots. I've got tons of headshots by just sneaking past the main battlefront and killing them all in the back with headshots.

Oh yeah, it never hurts to check the enemy's spawn in certain gametypes where it's fixed. There's always a chance of some afk people --> easy headshots.

Yeah, the MP5 and Uzi are very easy to get headshots with, and the AK-74u ain't bad either (uzi and ak go straight up with recoil, auto aiming to the head really). But the P90 and Skorpion tend to be a bit more difficult to get headshots with

I tend to get headshots "involuntarily" or "by accident"... it tends to happen to me with the LMG, specially with M249 & Rpd. I just aim the target at distance, and sometimes i get a headshot, due to recoil. With Ars is another thing, at short range i saw quite a few headshots with M4, maybe using its recoil to get the kill as a headshot... i've been felt it in my own skin ...
Most of my headshots are from luck, just play and they will come one day or another. :p Don't get "obsessed" with it or the fun factor will go r/out the window. :)

atm the only gun i have had real trouble getting headshots with has been the Uzi, dunno why.

Headshots in this game are random at best. I got behind someone and shot them point blank execution style with the f-ing G3 and it didn't give me a head shot. However I shot someone in the kneecaps and it gives me a headshot, go figure.

I've unloaded a clip from my pistol into someones chest point blank and it gave me a head shot, somethings seriously wrong in this game besides the gradually increasing lag as you play in a server.

[TheDesert_Fox]

Supposedly setting your max packets to 100 helps with headshots, but I haven't tried yet, and these sorts of things are often riddled with placebo effects and people simply doing better when they try it out, or luck, or the other players are worse. There are many factors.

I think this whole pixel collision stuff is bs. Im face to face with a guy aiming and pointing at his head as we run, neither of us hitting, yet if we aim a metre in front we both start to hurt each other. Wheres the realism in that? I think CSS had better hit detection than this game.

[The_Eliminator]

well things have been going well, im about 50 headshots away from my Gold Uzi now so thanks for all the advice

agree

[The_Eliminator]

Pixel collision is just very badly implemented in this game.

According to the hit rate, i can run faster than bullets can hit me.

[solofowaffles]

I havent had problems with hit detection at all.

[The_Eliminator]

its not a problem if you take it into account whilst playing, its just annoying on CQC where you can be running along side the enemy with your crosshair at his head and the bullets register as though they hit the wall a few feet in front.
