Light body type OHK

(Maca) #1

I apologize for starting a topic like this. I couldn’t find already existing one that would fit, and I would personally prefer to keep as much speculation out of the “New info” topic as possible.

I am aware that there has been discussion about light body type getting killed in one hit “if the weapon is buffed and the light doesn’t have med buff” and something like that.
But I have seen a mention in at least one preview (do not remember link) that light body type will ALWAYS die from headshot.
I decided to overlook that, until now in this interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BObjYXYdpLM Stern says:
“The only one shot kill in the game is if (I) choose to be the light body type, which has got MUCH less health, and I get a headshot. That will kill me at maximum health, but I’ve chosen to do that. Everything else, there’s something I can do about it”
So, light gets killed always from headshot? I am aware that this COULD be interpreted otherwise, but the latter sentences are starting to make it pretty unambiguous.

Again I apologize, but during my stay here for the past week, I was under the impression that this is not how people thought it worked. If I had just missed it and this is old news, say so and everyone can ignore this topic.

Seems legit to me. That’s the trade-off for the extra speed and agility. You’re harder to hit, but if someone can lead your dome just right…BAM!

def doesnt seem right to me no matter what kind of body type you are a head shot is a head shot you should die hands down… as for dying from one body shot by being light i think that is a bit much they would have to substantially increase your movement speed if that were the case otherwise everyone will be heavy

but again we will have to see when the game drops how everything works out

It’s not just movement speed, it’s also more parkour abilities and thus more areas of the map available to you. that alone, with the fragility of the lights provided, still makes them the most popular choice by far according to the latest poll.

No, you have got this a bit wrong, in Brink you don’t normally die from a headshot. Headshot does the most damage, but it doesn’t mean you instantly die. This is different from recent FPS but there’s nothing new or odd about it.
And you also misunderstood, no one said light would die from one body shot, we said one headshot. You probably just read that wrong.

ok but what im saying is all classes should die from 1 headshot. your being shot in the head, thats a death period end of story not matter what body type. im pumped for this game but by the sounds of this, this may be something that ruins some gameplay for me. because you aim for the head for a kill but now headshots dont kill people? maybe when the audio director took the guns out to AZ they should have showed him wat happens to people no matter the body type when u shoot them in the head

Yes, it’s unfortunate if it takes away from your personal enjoyment, but that’s just how it is.

once again, you don’t know what you’re talking about

headshots don’t necessarily kill, look at Gabrielle Giffords, shot in the head at point blank range, doing quite well now considering

hey there, seems you are pretty new here. this issue about OHK , headshots,etc has been discussed at length. splash damage actually is following a different paradigm than the current well-selling FPS’s you may find on the market. meaning you have to be prepared that it’ll take more than one bullet (to the head) in average to get a player outta the way. if i am not mistaken, the majority of this forum actually approves this approach, so do i.

IF you are interested, the search option is your first step into the universe of pain where these issue were discussed. a quick way to gage the overall opinion of the forum on all matters is here:

In Brink there will be no one shot, head shot, body shot and more one shot kills(thanks sd).
Only in some surcomstanses, low health, buffs and body type.

(madoule) #13

yeah OHK is only possible in those circumstance where the victim has been shot before…

(Weapuh) #14

May be practical on console where people have difficulty with headshots but there are few people i know who can’t get a quick head-shot on PC… Even if you could on any platform with wtv amount of aim assist, it totally breaks objective based games. Realism and fast paced FPS don’t really mix well. So it’s rather genius that they give you the option to accept perk in exchange for vulnerabilities instead of pigeon-holing game-play.

if you wanna be a smart ass we could always try my theory of a headshot kill on u? what u think would u live?

(Weapuh) #16

OP is actually referring to a video… http://www.gamereactor.eu/grtv/?id=10383 posted today confirming the presence of a OHK head-shot on light body-type (details unspecified exactly)… which is what he’s wondering about, those details which are unknown.

I’m sorry? Was some part of this post meant towards me? Because if that is the case you missed the point of this topic.

@abrain
Exactly, that is the impression I had, that’s why I started this topic, because this very new quote from Stern seems to contradict that

@weapuh @NAIL @SUK_A_FACE
I would hope this topic wouldn’t get too much derailed

(Weapuh) #18

Not derailed, just we don’t know exactly because stats on weapons dmg/hp/and buff stats aren’t exactly known… so… yw?

run, nail! janie’s got a gun! :smiley:

nope, it was directed towards SUK_A_FACE

(Nail) #20

lol, you picked the wrong guy little man, but I’ll let it go. Do research before making such broad statements, hundreds if not thousands of people have survived headshots and other huge traumas, look at Phineas Gage or Gabrielle Giffords
as the best known instances

now, back on topic, Ed Stern said one headshot could drop a light with no buffs, you can still be revived afaik
