Sniping Head Shot = 1 Shot

[Joker_xxx]

Generaly all weapons should 1 shot the enemy if the shot is received in head or either do lot amount of damage. The skill that you are able to add on your helmet dodges 1 headshot, i dont know the delay for it.
About sniping for the head its very improbable to succed. The game speed is too high so you could afford to aim for the head.
Ofcourse everyone likes the sniper rifle, but i doubt there will be many snipers. As an example: the Lineage II Dagger class or like Wow Rogues class, these are delicate and fragile classes where mistakes are not allowed. So my quess is that first month when game is released all servers will be filled with snipers till a players scale is done. Also sniper class will have lot of trouble in PVE.
I can tell you from my CS experience that headshots from sniper are rare and obtained only by luck.
The real problem will be when you are allowed to create only a single character per server hehe.

your forgeting a few things:

-the anti-headshot helm doesnt ''dodge'' headshots, it protects... and its not a 1 time thing.. but then again, webzen has released little else about it.

-snipers, like all classes; can use any weapon. pve isnt a problem... grab an assault rifle and some ammo, ur set.

-this game uses unreal 3 engine, headshots will be moderatly difficult to acheive, but only for the ''noobie'' snipers.

-WoW rogues arnt delecate.. u can go in naked with vender quality daggers and still pwn in both pve and pvp.

One guy corrects another guy with something that isn't correct, as i said earlier and Guyver gave this link as prove. That this skill won't allow you to dodge nor take the shot in your head, it will PREVENT headshots.

Plus as Qs-Djb said, there wont be a problem with PvE nor PvP, there are always noobs who camp, HEADSHOT, while they stay still, it wont be that fast as CS, at least not on those close ranges. Not to mention being able to have 3 different weapons.

Completely, sniper headshots should equal death !

[Bhoginator]

Well when i was reading about the "headshot helm" lets call it, it said it made you IMMUNE to headshots...and if all the classes could get that that would be overpowered and sniper rifles would have to have atleast 2 shots instead of one... I think only avenger should get it (heavy armor) because they are probably the only ones that would have problems returning accurate fire instantly since they are shortrange.

[J4F1050]

well being immune to headshots doesnt make any since to me with one fact in mind...usually wen shot in the head even with a helm on u shud take damage...its ur head think about the reall world effects of being shot in the head and surviving due to ur helm...u sure as hell are going to be on the ground after taking a sniper shot to the head, u shud be unconcious, it wud hurt really bad(the damage wud be close to 80% if u were to survive in a real world situation) so if the programmers took erall world possiblitys into consideration the helm shud reduce the damage a headshot does to u and possibly reduce the run speed debuff of being shot in the head. it only makes since to have something like that. also the headshot skill makes since i mean cmon if we have games that tell u wen an enemy is locked on to u im sure in the futuristic games we can have a geadshot warning system.

[Bhoginator]

Yeah thats a good point...like if a head shot doesn't kill they should do something like when an explosion goes off near you in COD 2...your screen gets all blurry and your movement and look around speed is slowed for a couple seconds...although I still think that it should kill :P

[Joker_xxx]

First of all its barely improbable (and it would be so imbalanced) that producers will implement in Huxley a helmet that makes the character immune or it prevents headshots all time, more like will prevent a single headshot every 20 seconds or something like this.
My bad when i said the helmet will dodge a headshot instead of make immune or prevent.
I read an interview where things were presented this way but i misunderstood.

Offcourse can use any weapon you want but will have enough firepower so you can handle in PvE. Its one thing to kill a mob in 5 secs and other is in 30 secs:/
Since this will be a levelling character based system my guess is that hybrids monsters areas will have different levels also. In short words you have to raise sniping skills and also assault gun skills (witch are expensive since dont belong to phantom class) . Or who knows maybe snipers will face hybrids by sniping only and dont need anything else.

Since none of us have seen UT3 engine its to early to say "headshots will be moderatly difficult to acheive" . Anyway i doubt that sniper headshots will have percentage higher than 5-10% .

Maybe i played another game and not WoW (witch btw sux and took like 2-3 month to realise before going back to Lineage) but when i joined battlezones with my rogue, i feeded all hunters and mages....i barely managed to kill a lonely mage witch is true dies instantly but right after i die. So rogue is weak and fragile especially in large scale battles, the only thing good about it is fun to play.

Well i believe i have play UT03 but that was long time ago, bt still i played lots of UT04 which is very similer to UT03 and i can say one thing, it's hard to make a headshot, harder then in BF at least but still it's possbile if your are good, pretty easy to hit the body though, Guyver can tell you the same thing or any person who play UT04.

L2... though game, without a clan in that game you won' make it far quickly.

lol bro? no effence but shut the hell up,it's about HUxley! this Forum is HUXLEY as long as its Huxley it's on topic.. always. take that not huxley crap to the off topic section.

PS: Rocket spamming sucks,and I am glad it wont work.

Assuming that a helmet that helps prevent death from a snipers headshot that would be cool if it still made your screen all blurry or something for a bit. And yeah I said helps prevent death because obviously nobody knows how the hell it is going to work.

An interview that says "prevents headshots" could mean anything. It could mean it gives you a warning if someone is aiming at your head, and it could mean it prevents the bullet from turning your head into moosh. So since nobody knows I'll just say it helps against headshots.


Anyway, unless you have this anti headshot helper thing. I don't really see why a headshot wouldn't be a 1 hit kill (assuming it's with a powerful 1 shot sniper rifle, not a semi-auto sniper or something). I mean even now they have bullets that can rip through heavy armor, and Huxley is in the future after all and like i've said in a few other posts they can do whatever the hell they want with this game because IT'S IN THE FUTURE. They could make a full auto-sniper shoot 100 bullets a second and each one could have headshot tracking that makes your face explode if they wanted to. So I'm sure they could toss in a bullet that could blast through a regular helmet and take out a target.

[xxvic1ousxx]

Yeah, I agree that a Sniper Rifle should kill with one single well placed headshot, but only with Sniper Rifles that are bolt action/ single shot and have higher lvl requirements. Anything semi-automatic should take a up to 3-4 headshots at least.

Hehe...nothing is more satisfying than back flipping your opponent with a facial.

[eclipsedmind]

waht about different snipers and powers maybe energy rifles should just paralize but if upgraded kills in a headshot and bullets should matter on types.

[Nytemare37]

Saw a vid w/ a sniper; the sniper shot someone in the head and they died instantly.

[Lonewolf]

After reading all your past replies I think its safe to say that I think a shot to the head will drop you if its from a sniper. What a helmet could do is protect you from lighter rounds.>A pistol shot to a unguarded head is fatal a pistol shot to a helmet will hurt but not be enough to kill<

I don't know if i'd want to use one of my sockets to just prevent small arms fire from 1 hit killing me.

In most games pistols don't 1 hit kill anyway, even if you shoot someone right in the face. However if it blocked every gun and rifle, minus the heaviest bolt action sniper rifle, I guess that would be ok.

Who knows if you'll even be able to get headshots with anything but a sniper though.
