Does anyone even look at B.net sigs?

I mean, I shoot my buddy with the pistol, straight in the head, and he only looses a small ammount of stamna.

Same thing happens when I get hit in the head by Jackals with carbines.

It'd really wreck the balance though, it'd make legendary almost impossible

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

Ok, go play ODST, Halo 3, Halo Reach, or Halo 2, shoot and ODST in the head with a Carbine/Needle Rifle and see if he/she dies.

Good players work together...and no matter how good you are, you're not physic. - blade6321

Gameplay overrides realism. Dieing from a single headshot just isn't fun.

I know. Imagine if SPARTANs in the games had both shields AND stamina. They would be freaking invincible.


Btw, when stamina is down, they can still take headshots. John-117 in the games can't. Even on heroic if your shields are down, you die from a headshot.

rule of thumb: double tap

beacuase that bull playlist that bungie made in halo 3 wasnt acurate, stamina was made to simulate the ODST's armor integrity. and maybe its beacuase they have better helmets, or to comensate for lack of jump hight, speed or melee damage, or grenade range
