Re: Should headshot be fatal?
There are actually only 3 different hit zones: head, torso, and limbs. As of .8 (I don't have the figures on .85), shots to the head did 15 times more damage than shots to the body!

Re: Should headshot be fatal?
Although I'm one of those people that needs two medics in my squad at all times, I'd like to see it limited to one per squad. Right now it is a bit too spammy, and I definitely would like to see headshots be deadly.

Re: Should headshot be fatal?
i'd say yes to headshot being fatal, i do play the medic role A LOT like 95% of the time but even there i still say that i't beyond arcadish when you can raise someone that got nailed by a 120MM Heat (they should be HE instead of HEAT but that another story) round if they want the realism they so claim they want... HS ARE LETHAL!

Re: Should headshot be fatal?
Are head-shots already fatal half-the time? Anyway I think they should be about 5 out of 6 times it should be fatal. I have heard of people surviving bullets to the head.

Re: Should headshot be fatal?
For balance sake, I would want sniper rounds to the face and any large explosive (greater than a grenade) to insta-kill. I understand that it's frustrating to shoot a dude in the head and him getting revived, but changing ALL headshots into insta-kill seems.... I dunno, a bit extreme.
I'm also down with nades finishing off downed soldiers. It's frustrating when you throw nades at the body expecting a medic, none come, so you move on. 2.5 minutes later, a medic comes by and revives the downed bad guy. FRUSTRATING!!!!!

Re: Should headshot be fatal?
You get shot in the face, you die. What do you think a field medic is going to do? Put the guy on a vent and perform all kinds of gnarly brain surgery with an OR team on bakalakadaka street? Nay.
Also, all Epi is is Adrenaline. There are NO UbEr-MaJiKaL properties to it, and it does not stop bleeding on contact or heal splattered brain matter.
LOL The odds of you surviving are a lot worse than "1 in 6". Take in consideration a high powered rifle round and I doubt any thing else will happen besides you getting a Craniotomy. Originally Posted by Craz3y|Assasin

epinephrine could reduce bleeding I think, depends where the injury is and if its an artery. Should probably have people return to base after a revive really but I guess it equates to troop rotation in the field
If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have obviously failed to plan properly.

I think it would increase bleeding. Epinephrine dilates arterioles in skeletal muscles, and it also increases the stroke volume of the heart. Originally Posted by Sabre_Tooth_Tigger

Yea I guess would increase blood flow to vital organs, not sure about the effects elsewhere I just know the body can divert blood flow from non vital parts when needed
http://www.ahrq.gov/clinic/epcsums/ephypsum.htmEpinephrine is widely used as an additive in local anesthetics (typically in concentrations of 1:100,000) to improve the depth and duration of the anesthesia, as well as to reduce bleeding in the operative field.
The epinephrine also constricts the blood supply to adjacent tissue, thereby permitting the impression to be secured without contamination by bleeding.

OMG, right for a start a 50 cal headshot is fatal in 'game' anyway lol. The epipen is metaphor for treatment that is all, get over it if you can't understand it. It's a combat/military game with simulation leanings, complaining the epi pen is not realistic is a bit like saying that 'Operation' is not a good trainer for surgeons, it's fairly flaming obvious. This is not Project General Hospital or the game of MASH the movie for pete's sake. The rally point for example is representative of something else etc it is a metaphor. Perhaps one of you complaining about the metaphorical use of the epi pen could design an add on where you are casevacced off the field and then undergo possibly weeks of surgery before months of painful rehab etc. Sounds like a lot of fun lol!

Re: Should headshot be fatal?
To be honest I didn't even notice the change, I am just too busy enjoying playing the few chances I get.
For the record adrenaline can start a stopped heart (you've all seen Pulp fiction right?) so thats why it is a satisfactory symbol.

Re: Should headshot be fatal?
adrenaline can't really start a stopped earth by itself... it will greatly help but you still need the CPR to re-activate it
