if you removed headshots from all but the most hardcore of realistic milsim FPS games literally everyone would benefit

>it would make aimbots significantly less potent
>more room for strategy and skill expression that isn't just crackhead OSU shit
>easier to diversify weapons without needing to balance around sweatlords
>all the sweaty niggers who think they're king shit of fuck mountain for winning at whack-a-mole would move to the sweaty cunt milsim games and less sweaty games become more fun for everyone else
>the average age of competitive FPS players would go up because of a less heavy reliance on raw reaction time

you know I'm fucking right
you want to say "no fuck you that's gay" but deep down you know I'm right

That would boring thoughbeitevertheless.

in real life unless you are a sniper in a hostage situation you always aim for center mass of the target
why don't video games focus on this instead of the meme that is headshots
>>
>>742298774
Would you mind elaborating? This just seems like a recipe for making high RPM weapons and shotguns meta
>>
>>742299131
because irl you don't tank half a magazine of 5.56 with an hp bar and headshots force aiming at a smaller hitbox to reward precision
>>
>>742299179
shotguns get nerfed by not working further than spitting distance

high dps weapons can have an absolute fuckton of spray that effectively makes them useless outside a similar range unless you tap fire for 5 minutes and plink

this leaves long guns with a niche of handling enemies at a distance rather than just being unilaterally the single most useful weapon because of noscope horseshit

>>742299131
because once headshots were implemented it was a path of no return, it's very good dopamine

dear lord
>>
>>742299643
but that leaves the question of how you'd balance the damage and fire rate of long guns too, no? else it'd be more of the same but with a sidearm switch as a finisher
>>
better solution
stop playing multiplayer games

There is a reason headshots are rewarded incredibly well. Skill is a both a talent (an innate aptitude for something) as well as an art (an aptitude learned over time via repetitive trial-and-error). To have both means you are good at the game, to have one means the other can be improved upon up to a point, and to have neither means even when one becomes comparatively better than the average joe, you're still shit at the game.

And if you're still shit at the game, then you shouldn't be allowed to dictate other peoples fun just because you want to be included. Now fuck off.

this sounds like the trauma talking

And that sounds like projecting. Go bring your armchair psychiatry somewhere else like tumblr. Lord knows they need a pseudo-shrink

what is it that you feel like I'm projecting, totally mentally stable anon?

>>742298774
This wouldn't work in games like CS

it would work in Marathon

Headshots are meant to slow the pace down and punish spraying and praying

The entire issue with aimbot is that they know where you are the TTK is just the cherry on top. After I saw you said that honestly I just don't even want to read the rest you are obviously a dumb fuck who doesn't know anything.
>>
>>742310024
>0 respect for ignorant moeshitters
They really are fucking morons. Reaction time for me at least has not decreased by much I honestly just think alot of these bums drink themselves to death and also are not physically fit so their whole stinking body is going to shit and they start bitching about how it's not their fault they can't play anymore.
Secondly reaction times are so overrated anyway you can just outplay people with clever positioning like the majority of gunfights are not decided by reaction time unless of course you are a literal fucking turtle and it takes you like 2 seconds to hover your cursor over an enemy.
>>
>>742298774
No, fuck off

>I play CoD
>that's like whack-a-mole right?
There's no recovery from this.

>in real life unless you are a sniper in a hostage situation you always aim for center mass of the target
derpp derpp derp quoting police procedural
That's why when I watch actual combat footage I see people aiming for the head. There were videos of Gaza Palestinians deliberately targeting Israeli heads in close quarters rifle fights.
People do whatever they want to do you can't just quantify everything because some faggot CQB instructor(that has never been in an actual gunfight in his life) is citing statistics about how aiming for center mass is the correct thing to do. People just do what they want to do. Anybody can have great technique and just get their head caved in due to inexperience.

I feel dumb for opening this thread

No I wouldn't, because now games would feel worse. Shooting people in the head is supposed to do more.

While I agree that the headshot mechanic is pretty bad, your reasoning is unbelievably ignorant. The real problem is the one hit KO on automatic rifles as a justification for "muh recoil." It just lets shitters get lucky shots
>>
Quake doesn't have headshot and people complain about Rail
>>
>>742299179
>a recipe for making high RPM weapons and shotguns meta
this is already the case in games where the damage multiplier is on the head, shotguns are one shot if placed properly
>>
everyone in this thread is wrong and gay

replace headshots with heart shots
>>
>>742298774
I believe the culprit of the headshot mechanic is actually Zombies.

>I only like TF2 so every game should be made more like TF2

If you don't like TF2 you don't belong on /v/, feggit zoomie.

>>742316183
I didn't like TF2 even when it came out.
