Does aiming for the head really do more damage?

[tehpwnerofnoobs]

I think pistol and SMG headshots are 1 hit kills too if you hit then below the helmet (i.e. face)

2 shot kill.

[bam23]

I think it's 2 shot kill also.

I ALWAYS see that big puff of... smoke... when I shoot them in the head, and then they start panicking and running around before I either hit their head again or shoot their body.

Only a few classes have body armor and they can take about 1-2 more hits than the classes without body armor.

Nah...hitting the head will though...

you guys are going to call me crazy, but i find body shots with the mec anti tank weapon is the most effective. i can take out (close range remember) a spec op, an assault or any other using nothing but body shots.. had fun in karkand doing this yesterday.

Headshots the way to go but its hard when the tosser is jumping´+prone+jumping+prone about. So annoying, especially as Im a pistol person, only way to get em is to get the jump on them, so mostly im forced to use rifles which i dislike.

I'm not sure if the pistol is 1 shot kill to the head... it should be

I always find that aiming at the head generally is a one shot death but i dunno whether it depends on how much health the guy you shot has

nope tried it a on friend who willing to be a static target, still two hits to the nogin to do the job.

this must all be bs because I've shot people with two m16 bursts or with any other weapon alot of times right in the head and yet they kill me....I dont think there any weak points in the head area. since 2 bursts or any other weapon shot to the head seems to have the similar effect if u shoot them in the torso.

[Halious]

Not BS. There was a very detailed chart about damage a while ago, done by guys who knew what they were doing with debugging the game. Most of the guns' headshots are kicked all the way up to 300 points of damage. Pistols/SMGs are up to 80 and the shotgun is up to about 90 a pellet (averages, I don't remember the specifics).

Aim for the head.

[teadaze]

oh so having 6 shots from a m16 then would equal 1800 worth of damage points? :x
they must be the superman soliders then if they can take such damage eh? :)

question, is this lag if i see a puff of smoke appear seeming that i hit the guy but the crosshair doesnt show an x to indicate a hit?

[Kongstad]

Well you say burst, i find using burst hits everything around where the crosshair points, the only thing in this game that lands on the cross hair are pistols and the Spec Ops Unlock G360c or something like that in Single shot mode.

The only way to obtain headshots with other rifles is in Single Shot mode, if you obtain a headshot with burst mode you are a lucky bastard and nothing more!

Ow yeah and nerf ak101 its overpowered, i ALWAYS die in one shot to it Its like it has this lock on mechanism to headshots :S

[HowieMandel]

aiming at the legs works well too :)

no thats an old bug.sometimes you could lie down next to a guy he doesnt move u unload ur whole clip on him getting every shot on his body but the hits might not register
