Ok so this has really been bothering me lately. I've been going for weapon assessments and finding it ridiculously hard to get headshots. i put up a post before about this but didnt get any responses. So this time I did my homework. busted out the ole calculater and added all nano reboot headshots needed. the total amount is 5,500. Next i added my total headshot count with all weapons, plus added all HMG kills and some attachments to be safe. total comes to 1748. Ok heres the kicker!! I go to my service record for online and it says i have 7,879 headshots. How is this possible?


My only theory is that other skillshots are canceling out headshots. So i was hoping for a little feedback on this one. plus hoping maybe crytek could just make headshot skillshots the priority over others.

That's exactly what I was wondering about today ... I think you are right (unfortunately) and other skillshots like "Wingman" or "Vengeance" somehow "block" a kill so it doesn't count as a headshot.

I mean it's okay when different skillshots don't stack in a game to reduce the income of exp but it definitely should nevertheless count in the statistics.

thank you!! im telling you this is a headshot conspiracy and no one sees it dammit!!

i want answers.

I want some chips.

The thing is, (I believe) Crysis 2 multi-player headshots count as a shot in the head. Not necessarily a headshot-kill.
What I mean by that, is that say you shoot 50 shots and kill the opponent. And let's further add that 1 of the bullets hits a head; it then counts as a headshot.
I think a headshot-kill counts as one-hit headshot that drops the opponent dead (which is rare in armor mode).

^What this guy said.

I've got 4,900 kills. 2,988 "HS" per the leaderboard. That would be 61% of my kills were headshots. No phooking way. Without boasting, I've kind of been known for my accuracy from game to game and my headshots would be nowhere near this type of number. Now, go into your weapon headshots or for me since I'm on my 1st Reboot the 'Nanosuit Reboot' part of the 'Skill Assessments' area & add up the actual gun headshots listed (which, imo, is the true number represented for an actual headshot KILL). Mine comes to 346 headshots. 7% of my kills have been thus & that seems just about right. This game doesn't require headshots to win, so people won't concentrate on doing them. Shoot 'em in the c0ck!

Or for you, Beastly101, punch them. You didn't REALLY believe you had that many headshot kills, did you? You are constantly boxing! LOL. So, what's your real percentage? I find these types of number interesting. (^_-)d

Hey, nice game today.
Sorry I had to quit.
Btw, I forgot to let you know my name shows up as my alias as of now instead of my PS3 ID Larqie

Okay, this makes sense. Anyways the real headshot-kill-number should be displayed

dont act like you never melee hamu ive played you and lost to your pugilistic style too. im on to you btw, i bet you create a dummy account to learn the game and then you create the actual one you're going to use as an official gamer tag for recording. Those are the type of numbers I find interesting. ohh and your take on headshots probably is right. thats why i posted, just wanted a little feedback. didnt need to be subtly attacked by egotistic with a camcorder.

thanks for feedback, this does make sense.

Oh, I definitely melee too! The game dictates it. I just don't think I melee as much as you. LOL. And I wasn't attacking you! I thought it was just a fact & how you like to play the game. If you took offense, my bad. Also, it's not a camcorder! It's a Hauppauge HDPVR. (>_<) Regarding the name calling, whatever you want to call me is up to you. I don't really feel like slinging names back at you. I have nothing against you & no ill-will towards you.

And nooooo, I didn't do that **** to learn this game. I never do that. Naturally, you don't have to believe me, but gaming 'integrity' is nothing really new to me. I actually LIKE having all of my stats on one account. I may have multiple accounts, but I choose one for each game & stick with it. That's just me & if you'd known me longer than just Crysis 2, you'd already know that. Hmm...In a way, your conspiracy theory about me is kind of a compliment? (*^_^*)

Anyways, you're a good player & no offense intended! Now can we get back to those numbers?
