Headshots and Revive

[krazyxazn]

Agree, if you die by headshot you cannot be revived.

Or make it take less bullets to kill a downed player.

Or both

Adapt, the game isn’t hard. Follow the blue stream, take out the medics and start gibbing every person you take down. It isn’t something that needs to be address over the many other broken things in this game.

Gibbing people takes either…

A few seconds to run over and melee them, a distraction from the battle thats still going on right around you usually.

An entire clip from your gun, also a distraction from the battle…and a waste of much needed ammo if your soldiers arent being team friendly. I see more of them replenishing their own ammo instead of teammates.

A grenade and maybe even a molotov too if there are more than one downed, again a waste of your supplies on enemies that you’ve already shot down.

See the problem?

They could at least make it easier to kill after they’ve been downed. Like W:ET…it takes like 5 or less bullets.

what s really lolworthy is, that the game was basically just released, but some people are acting as if they played it for month and knew everything already

You’re an idiot.

When I am playing and I see that blue trail: my target switches instantly. As should yours.

Failing that, make more use of grenades to crowd control and to gin the downed guy. A medic can’t revive when he is knocked on his ads, get to tossing molotovs and flashbangs

[QUOTE=darthmob;298963]It’s not the game mechanic that is broken but your style of playing. Shoot medics first and make sure they are gibbed.

Or incapacitate less enemies and spend some time finishing them off.

I haven’t played the game yet so I can’t say how “easy” headshots are but with decent players there would probably be not much to revive this way.

Unlike only the last bullet has to be a HS but that would be too random.

Honestly! I can still hear my teammates as they shouting on ventrillo after a bigger fight: GIB GIB GIB.

good old times

I don’t think every headshot should be an instagib but this mechanic seems like it could work in a limited fashion. Maybe make it so only the sniper rifles have this ability. Or maybe have it be a high level operative ability.
