Headshots

[Currahee]

I finally bit the bullet and downloaded CS:S and now I can't stop eating bullets. Wow it's still pretty much the same game I played 6-7 years ago but did everyone's head get huge or what? Seems like more then half the kills are head shot kills. Is that because everyone playing on the eGO servers are really good? Or is that something that just came to be when switching to source? I'm still having a lot of fun although I need to constantly remind myself not to be that fool who rushes up to the front. As is, I'm watching more of the game then I'm playing.

well you gotta see it this way...6-7 years haha
i hope everyone has gotten better

just need some practice is all (try a DM server instant re spawn for more prac)

I've noticed it too on CS. Most kills are headshots. Maybe because the bullets spread more?

 

[Angelspit]

I thought the head hitboxes are bigger in source.

 

[Groove]

Hitboxes are insanely off.

Hitboxes are insanely off.

They are huge, I saw a youtube video!

Best way to warm up before going into a Pub or one of our 24/7 servers is to hit a deathmatch server like towlie said, or try out a GunGame Deathmatch server. That gives you a chance to get warmed up on all guns even the ones that you might never use.

hahahah ya. you got to think about 6-7 yrs.....

I think its more that, the head shot kills leave a bigger impression on people, so your more inclined to remember them, more then others

 

[Currahee]

No I'll just watch the kills scroll up, more then half of EVERYONES kills are headshots, not just my own or my own deaths. I understand I'm pretty rusty, mainly I rush too much instead of taking things tactically.

Yeah, you cant rush around the corner in CSS like you can in DoD with a Thompson, otherwise you'll fly backwards.

 

[Currahee]

It's nothing to do with my skill, i watched 22 people die from head shots in a row while playing earlier, I counted. And that was after i died from head shot so there could of been more before me. Maybe you guys never played CS before source? It was no where near this easy to head shot. It's definitely a HUGE difference.

Most people are inclined to go for the headshot, and Source's variable hitbox is probably the reason it happens more often. This is why purists still play 1.6, they claim the game is more of a challenge. Anywho, you shouldn't worry too much about headshots... you'll see them quite often anywhere you play.

Luck of the Irish???

I've played CS since it was in beta, there are more headshots in source, and I think a very small part of that may be the hitbox, but in reality I believe it's because we've all realized after so many years that the head is king.

 

[frantic.^]

I think xplag hit the nail on the head there about the purists. 1.6 is definitely a more skill based game. In fact, if 1.6 had the graphics and engine of source, i would be playing it. I've grown accustom to CS:S though, and i don't think i would switch back. Who knows. There will always be 1.6 players calling us n00bs, and there will always be source players telling 1.6 players to upgrade. Upgrade

Oh and frantic.^ <3 EVERYONE!
