That'd be both awesome and realistic, I hate the fact how it's in gameplay now; you hit a guy and he sprints/jumps behind a corner, or even worse, dives down the ground and shoot you.
So, 1 hit; 1 kill. Please!

Now you're venturing into the realm of 1 shot = dead. Maybe a Hardcore game mode? You die and there are no respawns. You wait 4 hours for the next game. Sounds like the game mode for you.

The DEVs have already said it's not about total realism. It's impossible with what they're working with. They are going for implied realism.

Nothing like some CPR and adrenaline to fix a giant hole through your forehead. by the way headshots should kill, which is why the point of bragging about it

To the guy who was yelling at the DEVs: stop it, it's useless. The devs have probably all read this and the problem is probably their #1. Still it would be nice to hear any official statement, at least an aknowledgement.

94% is an amazing amount of players. Plus I think that if bullets were more lethal in the game, we'd see less rambo amateurs out there. I feel that this game has become a little less elitist than it used to be. The massive advertisement and the Mod of the year contest brought a lot a new players, NOW is the time to let the community grow by listening to "experienced" players.

I've been around since 0.5 and many of you have even played before me. This release is IMO the best to far, and there are always minor problems that need to be fixed. Still, the headshot problem should be addressed rather quickly, it's not the first time that I feel a bit embarrased when I teach some random newbie that he should keep watching the guy he just took down in order to wait for the medic to show up ... inevitably, he asks "isn't this supposed to be realistic ?"

A game where medis have no epipen would be amazing. Only the medipack and some field dressings. Or maybe only field dressings ? The devs will come up with a good solution I guess.

Cheers

The poll seems to tell the tale most accurately. People want their headshots to kill again.

I think the medic should get like, four epipens too, but that's just me.

They should, but since bf2 has a shit hitbox system 50% of the time getting a head shot only sends a cloud of dust flying off there head while doing no damage......

There's no need to be that arrogant, good sir. You're also putting your own words in my mouth; what you described in your post, is not the case at all.
What I was saying, is simply 1 shot 1 kill, then you would have to be either healed or you'd have to respawn (the normal spawn-time, not 4 hours). Why is this a bad idea? It is not total realism, but it would be more realistic.

All the best,

The lack of official response concerns me slightly that no change, despite popular opinion, is intended

Usama bin laden running against jesus for mayor of New york would not get such an one sided result.

Roughly 94% of the community would like headshots to kill people

Only about 6% want to keep it at vanilla n00bery level.

Tell me about it, I flanked an entire squad on vanilla last night to knife them, and it took me about two stabs each to kill them.

And it wasn't like I was missing either. I was hearing the beautiful sound of sharpened....

Err lets not get into detail. I knew I wasn't missing. Let's put it that way.
