Ok, first I just want to say that this is pretty random, but it just came to me today. There are only two guns in halo PC which actually involve headshots: The pistol and the sniper rifle. If i'm overlooking something then im sorry, but its a bit of a shock for me. I mean, only TWO GUNS in the entire game involve aiming for the head. TWO. While they are problably the most used in the game, its still rather strange for me. And in Halo 2, its the same two categories, with the addition of the Battle Rifle and Carbine. So basically, even in Halo 2, there are 3 categories with 5 guns: Pistol, the Rifle category with the Battle Rifle and Carbine, and the Sniper category, with the Sniper and Beam rifles. And nobody ever uses the pistol in Halo 2, so its pretty much 4 guns. In addition, I have seen people using the carbine in Halo 2 maybe twice with all my youtube watchings. The beam rifle is used, although not as much from what I can see. So pretty much, only 3 guns in Halo 2 involve headshots. I know that Im problably being a total idiot with all my overreacting, but I mean.......wow. Maybe Halo takes less skill to play then I thought. (Not counting the massive auto-aim in Halo 2, which already decreased the skill to 6-year-old level.)

You're forgetting the plasma rifle.

Why would you think that Halo 2 having more weapons that can get headshots makes the first game take not as much skill?

Slaying noobs since 2007.

What the pistol doesn't register as a headshot?

I believe almost everything gets Headshots in Halo 1, Shotgun gets them, AR get them, Pistol, Sniper, Plasma Rifle and plasma pistol. Just Rockets and FRG don't. Its in the tags, but I haven't looked at the weapon tags for a few months so I might be off with some.

If I remember correctly, the hog chain gun can also headshot but it's very, very rare and near impossible to do. ;)

It's not a property of the weapon to count headshots. But a property of the hit detection on the spartan model. If a round, be it from an AR, PR, Rocket Launcher, pistol or SR, hits the head, it counts as a headshot.

only the pistol and sniper do extra damage from hs tho, and maybe pr.

If you are talking about halo compared with other games, then notice that UT99 only has 3, and quake 4 doesnt even have headshots.

Well test your theory. Get with a friend and go thru each weapon in a no-shield game. Aim at the head and fire one shot or burst. Obvoiusly the pistol, sniper and shotgun are going to result in instant death. The rocket and FRG should decimate both of you. But it should be interesting to see how the plasma weapons, A/R, needler and flamer work

Really? As long as you hit someone it doesn't matter if it's in the head or the foot?

Nope. The assault rifle does the same damage nowhere where you shoot, whether it be the foot or the nostril.

You know a troll is someone who joins forums to start trouble, much like you are doing. He didn't mean a real troll, or the ones that only die from fire. Also, you're sounding less and less like someone who is trying to learn a second language, and more like a young child who should know English, yet is either too lazy or too ignorant to know better. I'm sure they have punctuation in Cyrillic.

Actually, no. The weapons determines if it can get a "headshot" or not. It can hit the person in the head and not be a headshot according to the game.
