This leads to consistent/random gameplay where a stray bullet can headshot winning a duel. Bad game design, only precision weapons should headshot.
Both weapons are already immensely powerful without the ability to headshot plz remove this.
if I am for the head I should be able to get a head shot.
They dont.
If you mean the ‘Headshot’ medal then you can’t. I’ve gotten headshots with the AR/SMG a lot but all I get is the standard ‘Kill’ medal.
Other than that it’s like what DigitalArtard said.
Do they even headshot? I aim at the head with the HoseRifle everytime but my stats say I haven’t any headshots with it.
I am in agreement with the OP on this. Ideally, yes good aim should be rewarded. But in my experience (on the giving and receiving end) 9/10 times someone achieves a headshot with the AR it is out of luck. The spread is too wide in full auto and it is easy for a stray round to strike the target’s head even when you aren’t aiming for it. That is just the nature of the auto weapons.
Umm… I’m pretty sure they don’t. Automatic weapons don’t (and hopefully never will) headshot in Halo. I mean, you can shoot someone in the head as much as you like with an SMG. But it doesn’t do any more damage. And you can’t get the headshot medal. Although I will say, it’s easy to think they headshot because the automatic weapons kill you so fast. As soon as your shields are down, you’re toast.
Please do not pass about false information or recreate open discussions.
There is no insta-headshot kill bonus for the AR or SMG and there is currently I find zero proof that there is a damage bonus for headshots so that it takes 4 less bullets to kill if they’re all to the head.
May I suggest you Twitter Josh, Quin or Andy and ask specifically if there is any multiplier present before demanding its removal?
