It’s as you say - you get them when you are the one giving, not receiving.

Tim James:

Yeah it’s in the lower right of the HUD.

Ah, I see. Thanks Tim!

Oh, that’s what I was asking about. I want to know if I lost a duel to a headshot.

Now I know why people like those high ticket 64 player servers (well, 40 players in this case).

35 kill streak. 47 ribbons. Ignore that second death – someone got me with C4 as the game ended because my damn canister shot wouldn’t fire.

885 SPM, and yet there were still long periods of quiet due to total map dominance. I guess if I want more score I need to bump it up to 64 players like some of you guys. Eh, no big deal.

Nice job. With what weapon?

Houngan:

Yeah, but how many 300+ meter pistol headshots did you get?

H.

I’m only one man, Houngan!

You still see it, even if you are the one receiving the headshot.

TurinTur:

Tank, with a couple random idiots on the machinegun that were so slow I had plenty of time to get the kills for myself. Plus I had to do all my own repairs, haha. Obviously the other team wasn’t very good if they couldn’t get coordinated enough to kill me.

I give up!

Alistair · 2011-12-21T08:05:58.000Z

He lies!

Nice video montage

My new favorite dogtag:

Also WTF with admin these days? I keep getting kicked because I’m too good in a Jet.

TimJames · 2011-12-21T11:37:40.000Z

I’m going to knife you for dropping a zany dogtag and not explaining what it takes to unlock it so we have some context.

If you have Back to Karkand you can simply select it from the list.

TurinTur · 2011-12-21T11:56:15.000Z

What is the context of that dogtag, btw? I suspect it’s some joke from BF2, perhaps?

Cobra · 2011-12-21T12:00:08.000Z

See wumpus’s post. Or this one.

TimJames · 2011-12-21T12:01:39.000Z

YouTube is just as useless at work. I’ll wait until I get home.

Houngan:

. . . not at 300 meters from a skyscraper to the desert floor at a moving target three times in a row with a pistol and a single shot.

I didn’t think that was the terms of the discussion. But from a skyscraper the issue is the accuracy, not the headshots - the angle would mean you’re more likely to hit the head.

Ahh, I see the problem. You think I was replying to you and not the wumpus post immediately preceeding mine about hitboxes.

Houngan · 2011-12-21T16:20:06.000Z

All good, I have respect for great (real) snipers. You’d think the cheaters would be a bit less obvious, though.

My 35 kill streak seems less impressive when the 10000th ranked streak on PC leaderboards is 66.
