feature request: limb shots should do less damage than body shots

[charlie_six]

According to the gun damage statistics, shooting the limbs only does slightly less damage than shooting the body (torso). For example, it takes 5 limb shots from an M16 to kill, and 4 torso shots to kill. That's just one bullet. Most games have it to where limb shots are far less effective than torso shots. I think it should take at least 6 limb shots to kill.

I think it'd be best if players were further rewarded for better aiming. A crappy player will often hit the limbs, and thus have to shoot more. A good player will be shooting for the body. A really good player will, of course, shoot for the head. As a general guideline, I think it'd be ideal if the limb/torso/head damage ratios went with a 3:2:1 system. That is, it should take 3 limb shots to equal 2 torso shots, and 2 torso shots to equal 1 headshot. So if it takes 6 limb shots to kill someone, it should take 4 body shots, or 2 head shots.

Have you ever gotten shot in the leg? There are so many major arteries there you have a less chance of living when hit in one of those than being hit in the chest.

its easier to hit the torso than the legs, a bigger overall area. the limbs may have more surface area, but they are split apart and the torso is one big part that is in the middle.

note: absolutely LOVING your sig AquilaPhasmas...i love that moving line... amazing huh?

yeah, I forgot to say that I don't think realism should be taken into consideration. Other games say that limb shots are far less damaging, and I think it provides better gameplay.

I think gameplay would be best if finger/toe shots were instant kills with any weapon!!!!

anyway i'd hate to have to fire even more bullets at an enemy to take them down, 5 shots is alot already.
any shots to any part of the body would be very debilitating if you think about it

if you want to i think it wouldnt be too hard to edit the "armor" value or whatever of the arms/legs, so they take less damage.
