Headshot Appreciaton Thread

[The Lonesome Drifter]

Joined a modders session by chance Yesturday. He gave us all every weapon in the game (BZ Gas from the jewellery heist, flares, Chops ball, Fire extinguisher that doesn't work, stun gun). Alongside these were the CE weapons. I already had the hammer, but boy oh boy that Deagle was a gift from satan himself. It sends soles to him faster than Flanders says "diddly".

 

Oh I would pay anything for the gun. 1 headshot - bang. Even level 100+ players with bulletproof skater helmets can't withstand a 50 cal round right in the fod

 

Oh and before CE master owners show up. I don't care if it should stay exclusive to you or not. Hell keep the sh*tty vehicles, I just want the guns.

I haven't played GTA in weeks there's no point. Playing deathmatches with TheMckeever,ArmorKing and Handcuff Charlie used to be my thing, but it's just not fun anymore due to theses stupid ass helmets. I think if we could get a helmet off option for deathmatches it would help somewhat. I want my one kill pistol headshots back.

You missed out big time today mate, I was warning people loud and clear that they would get kicked if they joined my invites while wearing their helmets, done a good 10 DMs without anyone wearing them! Done a great LTS that was just a RDR-style shootout with 16 players... no helmets. Yep from now on I reckon I'm gonna always do this!That sound brilliant mate, exposed heads is the way things should be anyway, keeping it old school. But an option for the host to disable these bellend hats would solve this whole debate anyway! Its only right they should add this option in the next update then we can have the best of both worlds Edited October 28, 2014 by ArmorKingHunter

As host I'd like to be able to toggle between these options for helmets

None> Everyone(has them equipped)> Player's Choice> Headshot Kills Only(None obv but with a hardcore twist)

^ wouldn't headshots only be easy because of auto aim? Or you play free aim?

[Man-Django]

Headshots are a piece of cake on AA tbh. But when you get a direct (pistol)headshot on a moving player in FA you deserve that kill, never mind trying to get them another 5 times when their wriggling about. Seen some assholes taking advantage when Mckeever's aiming by running up and pistol-whipping. Makes me wanna start practicing Voodoo

Pistol DMs can't be far apart, the best way to combat a pistol-whip is to run towards them a second before they get you and bash B/O. Hate doin it, it's like the polar opposite of a headshot, most freeaimers don't do it... most! Edited October 28, 2014 by TheMckeever

Most players don't even bother shooting it out anymore, they go straight for the pistol whip which pisses me off. Hopefully the next update implements the helmet off lobby option.

Well, it looks like on the 18th I'll be finally getting my hands on this deagle after all

[Tali vas Normandy]

I used to be able to get kills with any weapon getting headshots but ever since that stupid update, there are always those scrubs who wear helmets which completely kills the game for me.

 

Don't even bother with playing TDM In here anymore. And when I do, I go straight to max payne 3

Hopefully the next update implements the helmet off lobby option.

I'd rather have it that it's always off. R* needs to quit catering to casuals. Edited October 28, 2014 by tali vas Normandy

Or just give us the host option to allow people/hosts to choose how they want it. When there's only one person wearing the helmet it messes up the balance for everyone else. The bike helmets were bad enough for it never mind these ones... seen me unloading up to 8 shots into folks heads from a distance!

I HATE people that attempt this constantly in FA or a forced pistols DM, I was in a 2v2 with forced heavy pistols thats all they done! Its embarrassing for them I think, I actually cringe a little when I see some scrub running at me just to do it. Or maybe im just bitter as I can never time it properly and usually end up on the receiving end

I usually combat roll backwards and counter with a headshot if they're not wearing a helmet. They manage to get me occasionally which pisses me off.

Lol I hate it so much, but most people ARE wearing a helm, its a viscous cycle. Thankfully most people in our TDM circle dont bother with them though, TLAW u should add me ArmourKingHunted

[Eggobites90]

It's a shame that close range shotgun headshots only turn their head red instead of making it look like they were chewing on a grenade.

[crashhat69]

Heahshots are nice...when they work. there have been so many times where I would shoot someone in the face 4 or 5 times and nothing

Bulletproof helmets or too far a distance for 1/2 shots or lag or illuminati interference!

No helmet, I have a good connection and I doubt I was too far away because I've been one shot killed from the same distance and even farther away.

[H8GodMode]

 

 

I appreciate headshots but not so much the helmets.. asTLAW93 said we just about get forced to wear em just to be on the same level as some noob! As for the people saying it dont make much of a difference, BS. It deffo takes at least 3 or 4 headshots to drop them now (with a pistol). Plus the fact if we wear the helmets plus the tac mask then we all look like Luke Skywalkers dad

Every match I play there's at least 1 kid w a autoshotgun and BP helmet sitting in cover waiting to pop out

Thats what tear gas is for throw a few in his direction & watch him fail lol the new thing in next gen is throw a sticky while aiming and watch him fail. Very effective

helmets have sucked the life out DM for me. people can walk away from a 2 yard sawnoff shotgun blast to the face while i can still HS someone without a helmet with the same sawn off from maybe 25 yards away. absolute joke.

actually a headshot with the auto shotgun is the one thing that will bust thru the BP helmet.

[H8GodMode]

I haven't had much issues with Bp helmets lately. Yes they are everywhere. But I'm ussually hosting my TDMs or a friend is. So I watch the joined players list like a hawk. If someone has a BP helmet they get kicked. Solves the problems.

[CrazyHandz]

I love how it takes 4 or 5 bullets to get a headshot kill from a certain distance, then you can take 3 or 4 steps forward and get a one hit kill, lol.

[H8GodMode]

Yeah there's actually a set range where u can't register headshots. Only body shots at that point

This guy didn't pay rent to the mob, i made sure they took care of him before i retired..

Actually headshots are the things that keep me using some low-ranked weapons. Maybe I'll stay away from them now that those BP helmets have been added to the game - dammit R* - as well as the fact that the Marksman Rifle is quite easy to use as a med-long range weapon.

The marksman rifle reminds me of the DMR from Halo Reach, definitely one of my favorite DLC weapons.

 

 

Yup. Semi-auto, head-popping rifle. As a Halo player, I approve this gun.

 

I dont get it... R* is making this game so easy for non-skilled players.... they dont need to gain experience when R* is giving them 1st:bullet- and gasproof helmets / masks and 2nd:semi-auto sniper rifle (Whos idea was that????) that can be gained at any level.... like when there was heavy sniper rifle which actually needed some kinda skill to use it faster than opponent... Now it sounds like CoD 1st semi-auto snipers and they are used the same way... hardscoping and spamming....

 

God damn R*.... U making noobs be able to be bulletproof AND use sniper rifle as assaultrifle...

 

 

If anything quick-scoping is more of a CoD thing where people think they have some mad skillz for effectively landing a shot out of pure luck. Where is the skill in quick-scoping and hoping for the best?

 

What exactly is the problem with hardscoping? That is how sniper rifles are supposed to be used. That is the best part of sniping: choosing the right spot, making sure that you don't get scoped by the opponent and being patient in order to get the perfect shot. Besides, it is much more satisfying to get a headshot when hardscoping and landing a perfectly placed shot.

 

Aim for the face helmet doesn't help that.

 

Gotta love the headshot for newer players, I've gotten so many people calling me a glitcher or cheater. Untill I show them exactly what I am doing. The light tilt after lock on. Then I will suggest they join a quarantine or underground shootout with forced and pickup too train.

 

Training for the sniper, wait till night time and aim for moving car head lights. Canyon deathmatch is also a good trainer.

 

Liking this advice. Definitely want to improve my shooting game (because I tried FA and I absolutely suck at it at the moment) and this seems like perfect training!

Me and the Mckeever had a helmetless FA pistol duel the other day, epicness. looking forward to recording these on the ps4 maybe, we could sort out a little forum tournament people!?

[Man-Django]

So I'm getting even more tiresome of how easily people can get an unfair advantage by simply wearing a helmet!
