I think that a headshot icon added to the kill stats (when you get a headshot) in the upper left would be a nice easy addition. Maybe even in the logs too.

There's no need for this. Having 4 kills with you name in front tell's you're good, not a random headshot icon..

I like this idea and it will be nice to see in implemented.

<3

I rather see some thing improved than new things added...

Somebody has played too much CoD2... ;P
Well it's a nice little suggestion.

Soldat doesn't need this cause the headshot isn't so powerfull and easy to do (just fly above your enemy and shoot).

Maybe not a headshot icon, instead have something similar to the 'Double Kill' text at the bottom when you get a headshot, that says "BOOM HEADSHOT"

Easier to implement it like that, I'd think.

As many said already, Soldat doesn't need that! Not even a headshot whatever icon!
This kind of suggestion deserve to be flamed, Cr4sh. (hehehe)

Oh and,

good idea, but minor and not necessary, as headshots on 3-pixel heads are more luck than they could ever be skill.

im against this. it'd make soldat that much more like counter stike. it's not needed, and has very little relevence to how the game is actually played.

Jeez, um no.

well this sucks. But i asked for it i guess

i like the idea because its not that easy to get a headshot,if it indicated a headshot with the last fatal shot it would be pretty cool.

Headshots are way too coincidential for them to be special, so no. :)

Headshots dont really involve a players skill and if some egomaniac gets a headshot on you you'll find the whole chat log spammed with "ROFL! U sUk!" "Hedsh00t!" and "PWNED"

Get a stupid barret and shoot. Most likely you will get a headshot. Let's say you spray, I think it would be really annoying to see "Headshot" since you are just spraying. What will happened if you throw a nade? Why not just make a mod for it :o.

m79 headshot! LOL

Spas (shotgun) headshot!! Double LOL

can you even have headshots? i mean like in counter-strike were you die if get shot in the head.. that dosent exist in soldat..?

there are three different 'zones' you can hit.
torso gives 100% damage
head gives 120% damage
legs give 80% damage

(don't know if these values are still valid, i didn't bother to check, they were in 1.2)

I was planning recently to post this idea (CS player) and I completely agree with it!

Wow.. i never realised it was that complete. actually i thought it was something like bullets having extra speed when coming from above or something.. =P
This is awesome. Good Job Mike.

i thought it was 125, 100, 75, but whatever.

well, if htere was a headshot icon or headshot scream at the bottom of the screen for every headshot, that could add up to a lot of stuff with the Mp5. bu maybe if it was added only if you get a kill wiht the headshot?...

im for it. i mean, how else do you know how many headshots you get? and this is a shooter, so no matter how small a head it, you always want to know if you git a headshot.

yea i meant that it's displayed when you kill someone by headshot

No, i dont think a headshot icon would be good cause then it would encourage noobie baratards to strive for the headshot...

^^EXACTLY!!! If they do that they'll get a lower chance of killing you since shooting to the head is a lot harder than shooting to the chest.

lol, thats a good point. And if it's loged for stats in servers and for personal use the headshot would be 'idolized'

@Crash

Excellent idea, I love it, considering I always make head shots - BWAHAHAHA. Its very minor, itd be a cool addition that wouldnt hurt the slightest bit and would show some players accuracy. Definetly deserves to be implemented over some of these other ghey ideas people post.

@GluLm

It doesnt deserve to be flamed, please go away.

@Grand Diablo

Its certainly not luck, alot of players have aim that can perfectly hit the head a majority of the time. Not to brag, but I usually will hit their head with Semi's about 80% of the time. I get so many head shots with Barret, ive classified all of the kinds of head shots. First theres your volleyball headshot, then your frisbee headshot, the famous tigerwoods headshot, and my favorite, the uber bouncy ball headshot.

P.S.

Volleyball = Head floats intermediately up in the air and falls down.
Frisbee = Head sails slowly across the map.
Tigerwoods = Head just SHOOTS straight across the map extremely fast.
Uber bouncy ball <3 = The head flies very hard into the ceiling and bounces down to the ground and back up into the ceiling, as if you took a super bouncy ball and threw it as hard as you could upon the ground.

barretards would be going "HEADSHOT PWNED" or "BOOM HEADSHOT" and I couldnt take it :D

k thanks valve, while your at it make another boomheadshot video for soldat cause its so original

try muting the noobs that abuse it then. You wouldn't want to talk to them anyways

It is such a fast paced game so I dont think it would be practical.

Also a soldat head is like 6 pixles area to hit all in all, not much to aim for. :P

When you play to win, do you really try aiming that much to get a headshot?

He will die anyway.

Yeah that's just pointless.
Plus, let's say I'm spraying with an mp5 and coming down from above on 4 players. I'd do 4 head shots in no time.
Headshots in a 2D game? Pfft. Retarded. This is too easy in Soldat.
This is just going nowhere. Leave this for the CS fanatics.

Well, it would be kind of nice if there were a lil' more blood and stuff when you hit the head. Why? More blood! That's a really good thing. And there would be a way to notice if you hit the head or the torso.

(I'm a spas-user -> spas + point blank headshot + more blood and gore = :D)

All that stuff about HEADSHOT! would just be annoying. I mean, almost over 50% of the kills are headshots...

I don't think it needs an icon, but I agree with Norris Scott, When you kill someone with a headshot, the bottom of the screen should say "BOOM HEADSHOT" And display this image, alpha blended over the screen:
[IMAGE]

I sorta care about the values.... But i just rather kill them if i can anywhere

it would be cool, and some guy that says "headshot pwned!!!!" well [CENSORED] him.

it would be fun

Its obviously not too fast paced to show how people killed another, now is it?

You aim for where he is going, so the bullet precisely lines up with his head. Its not that hard, it just takes a bit of practice and experience with how a soldat moves.

Well, head shots obviously do more damage, im sure people always aim for them. They do die anyway, but the general aim is to kill them as fast as possible, not shoot them twice and someone else kill them - Especially in DM, you dont let people get by you that you're about to kill.

I heard there's a mod already made for this sort of thing.

Well Extacide, unless you are using a barret, it is very hard.

With any kind of spray gun, there is gravity which makes the shot go downwards.

Plus the enemy is moving, hard to follow and aim perfectly.

But say you are using a barret, now it doesn't matter where you hit him,
he will die no matter what.

What is the point?

I rather see bugs and stuff fixed than seeing some BOOM HEADSHOT thing added.

Looks like you don't understand. Soldat settings doesn't have to be changed at all. It's just that if you get killed and the last bullet that killed you was right on the head, the headshot icon will appear.

Raptor, please use your head will you? I didn't mention anything about Soldat settings or anything.
Read Harwin's post and you'll understand why it won't work in Soldat.

If some people really want that "headshot" sound in Soldat, you can have one by changing the appropriate sound effect in your /sfx folder. Headhots already exist in Soldat and it doesn't need that stupid icon or whatever modification.

If some one could make the soldiers hust a tiny bit bigger, then it might work!

With this you are saying that with a single shot on the head you would get killed right away. Does that happen in the current soldat version?

an please you use your head because I never said anything about SFX and you can check it.

Found it.
