According to the hands-on preview below, Lights can be killed with a single headshot. If this is true, that would make them the only body type that can be killed by a single knife attack and a headshot.

"Underpinning the class system is XP distribution. XP is distributed with an eye on how effective a player you are being for your team, not how awesome you are at headshots (which, incidentally, will only ever result in a one shot kill if you manage to land one on the very agile and fast moving ‘light’ body type)."

also stated in the same preview, Ed Stern touches on xp related to kills.

"We look at how to incentivise players. We give you much more XP for buffing your teammates than for kills, and we smother you in XP for actually doing the objective. In addition, the XP that we do award for kills is proportional to damage, so if you cause 90 percent of the damage to an enemy and someone else swoops in and delivers the final shot, you will get 90 percent of the kill XP.”

Yup heard that. Not saying I am happy about it but I assume its balanced.

Step #1: Make friends with lots of medics (ironically this is complete)

Step #2: Take CP at every opportunity, More health for team and me.

Also a headshot with any weapon or only certain ones?

I can imagine some epic light knife fights, one mistake and its over.

The bonus granted by capturing CP's isn't always boosted health.


Probably only certain ones. I would imagine that a headshot with a pistol wouldn't kill you outright - but a revolver might.

That's true but regardless its an edge for my team.

True makes me think light rifle may be good for something.

Buttons are mappappabibble

Jump = R2
Shoot = Triangle
Grenade = Right directional button
Crouch = X
Reload = L3
Switch weapons = R1
Other buttons = Empty

My ulitmate control scheme! No one can defeat me!!!

Doesn't sound very epic, when it's over after a single hit.

It could be if you could block, parry or disarm then it would be like a Bourne movie, otherwise I agree.
