Honestly double over-heal isn't that bad, and it kinda adds to gameplay. The only problem is that much of the players on tf4 lack any kind of team coordination beyond: "Watch out for that spy", "get on that point", and "Stop being useless snipers and demo-knights that aren't contributing to the team."

Is this a simple fix? I don't know how easy it is to make this work, but maybe somebody who knows better could let us know if this is practical.

Waterbear- You're dumb and stupid btw and i hate you for saying that forever
Adam- You are right. It's time we all stopped hiding. I'm a girl gamer and I know Joe, RottenCheese and Waterbear are too.

I don't really have much of an opinion either way, but I do really like this idea... I might play sniper more often. Not that you guys should really feel threatened :v haha

"OK, try to imagine yourself in the J2 Server... You get your first look at this "Pinkle" as you enter a clearing. She moves like a bird, lightly, bobbing her flamethrower. And you keep still because you think that maybe her visual acuity is based on movement like Johnny5 - She'll lose you if you don't move. But no, not Pinkle. You stare at her, and she just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side, from the Hippie and Wolsky you didn't even know were there. Because Pinkle's a pack hunter, you see, she uses coordinated attack patterns and she is out in force today. And he slashes at you with this... A barbed-wired-wrapped fire axe, The Axetinguisher, in her left hand. She doesn't bother to headshot you like a Porkbun, say... no no. She lights you and slashes at you here, or here... Or maybe across the belly, critting your intestines. The point is, you are alive when she starts to rape you. So you know, try to show a little respect..." -- 3Ducks

Let me just put my opinion as "oh jesus christ no"

This'll give even more power to those bullshit snipers like Ninja and Rotten. They already have reflexes bordering on godlike; why give them headshots that always kill?

Because headshots were intended to always kill?

*fully charged headshots
**in 2007-era TF2, there might be items now that give people over 450hp.

Exactly what my point was. Having normal uncharged headshots oneshot everyone is plain overkill.

If I've missed something and Parasyte meant fully charged headshots from the beginning, my apologies.

Currently there is a hard limit at 450 overcharged HP for vanilla TF2, so no.

HAHAHA yeah I certainly mean fully charged head shots LOL xD Even I can agree having a non-fully charged headshot kill every time would be way too much :v

agreed. giving sniper crazy OP buffs is stupid. Overheal should scale with server population
I asked David Geffen personally if he'd donate to TF4 for me, but he wouldn't do it
