A friend of mine told me that if I aim at the head with a Battle Rifle, I will kill an opponent faster. I did it a few times ona stationary target, and they dont die any quicker than a few regular gutshots.

Are headshot counts just for show, or do they really yield more damage online? I still wonder how people kill me so fast with them.

Actually with headshots you do more damage. Technically you only need four headshots with the battle rifle to kill someone, now try aiming at the chest and see how many it takes (takes too long to count). Same is for every weapon, like the sniper rifle, it takes one shot to the head to kill someone and two any other spot.

BR headshots and bodyshots do the same amount of damage to the SHIELDS.

It takes 1 UNSHIELDED headshot to kill, or 3 UNSHIELDED bodyshots.

BR headshots do deal more damage than BR bodyshots. When using a BR, you're supposed to aim for the head because bodyshots don't do enough damage with the BR to make it worth grabbing a BR. Headshots are what make BRs useful.

Three BR shots whether it's on the head or leg does the same damage but the last shot to the head is important because the final three round burst breaks the shield and penetrates the head for the kill.

Does it work the same if you shoot a person anywhere 3 times, then shoot them 1nc in the head, its still considered a 4 shot right?

No, you're wrong. Dumbass. Three shots to a shielded body is the same as three shots to a shielded head.

DUMBASS.

Then go test it out on a guest please.

For the first time, shoot a guy in the head 4 times, then on the second trial, shoot a guy in the body 3 times, then once in the head and see what happens.

$50,000,000,000 REWARD!!!

Santa Claus must be stopped! He is a menace who is not only guilty of billions of counts of breaking in entering, but also runs an illegal sweatshop of midgets forced to work for no pay using stolen materials to make gifts that infringe on every company and manufacturer around the globe, causing world wide economic disasters. He is to be taken dead or alive!

This guy hasn't played halo for long. Certain weapons give headshots, which kill instantly if you shoot the head. The BR is one of them. Head shots do not kill through your shields though.

  • 07.01.2007 1:24 PM PDT

just tested this to be sure, fat elite's statement is totally on the money

Head shots to kill - 4
Body shots to kill - 7
3 body shots + final headshot = also dead

I bet I've seen a dumber thread than you have.

its easier to understand when you shoot people with no shields, 1 headshot=dead.....3 (i think) body shots=dead

I think headshots only do more damage when your shield is down.

  • 07.02.2007 3:03 PM PDT

my other account, if you are gonna send me an FR, send it to this account and my Main GT.

headshots only do more damage to an unshielded opponent. technically you could get a 4 shot with 3 foot shots and the last one being a headshot

The only thing that headshots and body shots do the same damage, but when the victim has no shields, headshot kills in one shot and body shots kill in a few shots.
