I've not noticed this - when I'm hit with a headshot, I can't be revived, so it's not always happening.

I believe clone termination is based on a set number of damage after the clone in incapacitated determines whether a clone can be revived. This is based off of noticing clones not being able to be revived after a headshot on low armor.

Its does not matter, to make this game more realistic I believe they should make it that you can not be revived from a headshot, it makes the game harder and more realistic I mean as gamers you have to understand this.

I still believe in Dust and I think this small issue can at least be put into a test to see if it will work out, I mean how often do headshots occur, plus that whole 10hp you have after shield and armor is bull crap if its a headshot, CCP this is mainly for your best interest as a game designing company, if you want to be like Bungie and or Activision, cause no offense CCP but Destiny is going to turn your game into a ghost town unless you can add what you promise



sorry if I went off topic

Headshots need to be fixed end of story, instant termination on headshot is a must or there is no realism to this game.

Headshots don't make someone unrevivable
Extra damage to the clone after they die makes it impossible for that person to be revived.

This is why grenades generally terminate the clone, same thing with headshots, but if the damage is just barely enough to kill, then the clone will not terminate.

I have a concern about headshots, why is it that when I headshot someone they can still be revived? This should not be possible there is no realism in this game, if I were to headshot someone in real life they would be dead instantly, CCP needs to step there game up with these problems otherwise there gonna lose members.

This should not be possible there is no realism in this game, if I

This should not be possible

there is no realism

muh realism

Then why have extra damage to the head if it doesn't terminate the clone? By that logic, headshot's shouldn't do more damage.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize that we needed to have that level of realism in the game. Seriously I don't see this as an actual issue. This is a video game, not real life so therefore it doesn't always have to make perfect absolute sense. If you're wearing a helmet, which is designed to protect your head, and then get shot in the head it's realistic that you may not make a killshot when hitting them in the head, especially when said shot hits the helmet. Please refer to the cases where people have really been shot in the head, or have suffered other serious head trauma that do not die instantly. Your logic is flawed good sir.

But I guess if we're going with that much realism we should also take out Inertia Dampeners, Laser Weapons, Flaylocks, Hybrid and Rail weapons, the Null Cannons, MCC's, Clones, Shields, Nanite Injectors, and well everything else that makes the game.

Think of it like: the 10 HP you have under your shields and armor is your flesh. That's why it's realistic.

1. There is no reason that this should be a major or small issue when it's such a simple action/mechanic

2. The question is why have greater damage for headshots if, in actuality, it does nothing to the clone, such as automatic termination?

3. Why did you feel it was necessary to bring up points that were rather... feeble or pointless in such a discussion? That isn't logic, that's opinion.

4. It's common in fps games to not allow someone to be revived (when they have that mechanic) when shot in the head.

5. It would make sense to have headshot damage IF it actually terminated the clone, yet it doesn't. It has little regard with 'realism', but just simple sense.

6. You can't apply the argument of realism when it's a sci-fi... but basic biological functions and vitals are not going to change (unless we develop or discover that technology otherwise). For all we know 'realism' is our future in concept, utilizing similar technologies. We're already developing holograms, lasers, nanite technology and etc.

7. "Please refer to the cases where people have really been shot in the head, or have suffered other serious head trauma that do not die instantly. Your logic is flawed good sir."... How was the OP's logic flawed -_-? You just made an entirely contradictory thought...

8. In consideration that the ammunition used can indeed penetrate the shielding and armour of dropsuits, wouldn't it also make sense that they could also penetrate the head area/helmet? When armour has been breached, your vitals are clearly exposed. When shot at the head, that area should eventually be exposed once the players health has reached zero, and resulting in instant death when the brain has been destroyed, which would force their consciousness to be transferred into another clone. That makes sense, and should be implemented. Nanites may be able to repair and restore functions to the brain and the rest of the body, but it would be nothing short of a vegetable, as the brain received far too much damage, and forced the transfer of it's present consciousness.

9. Differences between realism and logical thinking my friend. Your opinion isn't logic.

There is no realism to this game if headshot isn't immediate termination, this game is broken for sure.

There is no realism in this game man, we're shooting each other with laser guns in suits that can repair themselves from almost any damage and have an invisible force field around them. And we're also clones and our consciousness transmits to a different clone upon dying so that we can respawn in the MCC as if it's a video game or something.
Man putting someones brains back in and reviving him is nothing, I can do it easy "cos Nanites".

i think its because seemingly only deaths occuring from a sniper shot to the face.. a forgegun to the everything or grenade/RE explosions cause clone termination upon death due to excessive amount of damage in a singular hit

No, those weapons are set to terminate clone.

I'm running around with shotgun and very often I kill people with 2 shots:
- first one deal 95%~ of they total HP,
- second shot deal what is left 5%~,
That is a lot damage for just 5%, and despite this they can be(and they are) revived like nothing happen.

There is no damage penetration in this game - sometimes I have to spend half magazine to kill someone permanently, it's crazy like they wear Kevlar t-short under dropsuit.
