What does the headshot sound sound like to you? I really love the sound design of this game but the one sound I really don’t much care for is the headshot. Sounds kind of cartoony and like a bottle popping or something which makes sense but headshots to me are rewarding and show some bit of skill and I think it should be a little more gritty and mean sounding.
I absolutely love the sound.
It makes the kill feel so much more satisfying. 
To me it sounds like when you pop a finger in your mouth. But the image I see in my head is of a watermelon exploding.

Ya I agree, it does make the kill more satisfying.

I hope to see it return in Halo 6.

It sounds surprisingly similar! 
(Skip to 2:25 for explosion)
I think of it as the bullet puncturing the helmet and air sucking out really fast (they’re pressurized, those helmets), so it pops. It was silly to me too, at first, but became very satisfying over time since, you know, it means I got a headshot.
It is a glorious sound… great feedback for the player!
I absolutely loathe that sound. I don’t know what I want in it’s place, but I hate that stupid cork popping noise they’re using now. It sounds so childish or something, the only thing worse than it was the stupid birthday party thing people used in Reach.
Honestly, I think it’s great–it’s funny and seems like such a Halo thing to do.
Nothing beats the Gears of War headshot sound. Destiny’s cabal headshot sound is probably 2nd.

Why was that oddly so satisfying to watch lol
I love the fact that there’s a sound. Definitely need player feedback but I just think there could be a better one.
You mean that little clicking sound that you hear every time you get a critical hit?
I hate it. I have very sensitive ears, so that constant clicking drives me insane. It’s especially annoying when scoring multiple crits on a boss in Warzone. We really don’t need it; the little red arrows are enough IMO.
EDIT: Sorry, didn’t read the OP thoroughly… I don’t know about the bottle-popping sound everyone else is talking about. That’s something I never really noticed.

would you prefer the “grunt happy birthday” sound for a headshot?

with YOU, I agree, the clicking sound is indeed annoying. I’m fine with the red hit markers as is, I don’t need an auditory reminder.
I noticed this since Halo 4 and always appreciated it!

Oh hell yes it’s my favourite part such an addictive sound for a kill
I love the sound. Multikill headshots are beautiful to the ears.

But the birthday party armour effect was the best…
