Headshots cause additional damage. No instakills.

Also limbshots cause less damage.

Wait a minute... I just realized that they weren't being completely honest about no instakills. We've seen them with a shotgun.

Technically, the shotgun is not a one shot kill, since it shoots multiple projectiles at once. You pull the trigger once, but it's multiple shots that kill you.

And this is only possible at a range where the other guy could already smack his gunbutt in your face.

Maybe he was also damaged a bit? ^_^

Exactly. Unlike the long rifles, who are effective at long (safe) distance. The accuracy and effective distance of the shotgun and it's OHK, falls under what Ed Stern was talking about - removing no skill kills or kills that cannot be countered.

There's no indication if any of those guys were hurt beforehand. It'd be slightly uncommon to find someone at point-blank range with full health.

Remember that gameplay vid where that guy was sitting up on a cargo container and the shotgun guy climber up and shot him in the back with a suppressed shotgun? That guy wasn't injured. If anything the suppressed shotgun does less damage and he still got the instakill. Just saying. Don't nerf the shotguns!

The Barret light rifle headshot on an unbuffed light could down him in 1 shot..........but not kill him in one shot.......

Shotgun in game is supposed to be a good up close weapon, useless at range, I get what splash damage are doing with removing sniper 1 shot kills etc, but if you get up close to someone and don't get a 1 shot kill or at least do an awful lot of damage with a shotgun then there wouldnt be a point attacking someone till they were already wounded. I personally wouldn't have a problem with going down in 1 hit if someone rams their shotgun in my face and blasts away.

1 shot down sorry.

They've also said a "Maybe" to a one-shot when you're shooting a Light body with a high-powered Long Rifle, hit him in the head, and he's got NO health buffs (no CP, no Medic, no Battle Hardened) - and even then they only said "maybe"

And that's still not "kill" it's "incapacitate" - you can still be revived by a Medic after going down.

That seems good, thats the trade of for being very quick and agile, if you come up against a good shot with a long rifle and your team mates have so far done nothing that would increase your health then you cant complain really if they down you.

But we don't know for sure if he was at full health. Often times offical videos made from machinima have the victim at very low health to exaggerate how strong a weapon is.

Rammite... I already said all that. Don't fret yourself. :celebration:

Just making sure :whistling:

And that would be a bloody difficult shot.

Im pretty sure the rifle has to be buffed as well.

That's the point.

Nope.

Hell yeah it would! If you can pull that shot off on me I wouldn't mind going down and self reviving.......considering the barret can only shoot every 2 seconds or so........
