Re: Snipers
Expect 1 hit kills on other phantoms, unless they spec'd heavier armor and wear a protection helmet. Phantoms are also the most mobile however, and unless they are sitting still (sniping) hitting them in the head on the first shot will probably be a rare occurrance. Most likely they will have some sort of damage from battle already anyhow, so it wont matter.
Beefier characters will lose a sizable amount of health from taking one in the head but wont die outright.
The REAL question is, will we be able to determine visually who is and is not wearing headshot protection. Do people without it become targets? If we cant tell, do they become so popular that snipers dont even bother shooting a hitbox that is 5 times smaller.
If you become a nuisance sniper on a futuristic battlefied containing dozens of players, you WILL be noticed. Best for you to keep changing position so you dont get blown away by rapid fire rockets and machine guns.
