Re: Why do i need to land headshots ?

I notice the "headshots" don't include an autograph, very disappointed.  But as bad as I am at shooting, I still managed to pull off 50 for some extra stars this season.  

How bad am I?  Do you see that big red barn over there?  Yes, the one without any bullet holes in it.  Well... enough said.

Headshots are not critical hits, which is very surprising to me.  I think we need to rethink these FPS games, make models with organs, heart, lungs, brain, etc. Then calculate all those bullets trajectories through the models vital organs.  Now this means the server would have to do more work, but everyone is cool with working at 7 frames per second, correct?

Then developer asks, what is that awful sound in the server room? Wait do you smell smoke?!

    Yeah if we do that we need to swap over to an ascii art style instead. 

    But I do think a more "realistic" LTM or April's Fools mode could be interesting. It'd completely change the pace and balance if a stray Alternator round to the chest was a knock. 

  • @EA_David I have found some of these players don't take jokes well.

    I haven't made an ANSI game since the 90's. I recall playing a few back on the BBS back in the mid to late 80's. Alternator and sentinel are my "go to weapons" so far.
