Exactly.

Also that reminds me for some reason of retreating through the vents in Turbine with the sniper rifle aimed but uncharged, headshotting the first person to pop through. Hilarious.

But wouldn't the practice of headshots mean you'd get more headshots quicker? I just look at bad weaponry usage leading to bad habits causing you to be stuck at a certain level of ability. It's just my thoughts though, no need to call the Spanish inquisition on this subject.

I never even charge when I play with enemy snipers around. I strafe around, cursor at head height, then scope and shoot when I see them and unscope immediately after.

I view the people who complain about bodyshots as the same people who complain about rushing or spamming units or campers or backburner pyros or whatever else that kills them.

In that the complaint is not so much "bodyshots are useless scrubs", but rather "X killed me, therefore X is something only scrubs use since they must rely on scrub tactics whereas I'm a pro god amongst men".

They'd probably complain about knives being scrubby if they got stabbed in real life. Since real people only use their fists to kill people.

I personally hate bodyshots. Not that I think they're newbs. They're just really annoying. Try to play anything with less then 151 health, and you die no matter where they hit you. Can't rocket or sticky jump without dieing on impact. I don't run across too many snipers though.

I always go for bodyshots, but my weapon of choice is Sydney Sleeper. Just charge enough to get the Jarate effect, and let the team finish them off.

My sniper rifle is named "Crotchshots" with the description "Say goodbye to your two best friends." People are much more forgiving about bodyshots if your weapon is named appropriately.

I usually always try for quick-scope headshots, but I have no problem bodyshotting people either. As long as I hit my target, I'm happy.

Ah, weapon names, the most delightfull things ever.
For me, a weapon name just has to be a good joke or a reference, but not something everyone can comprehend.
Prometheus's gift is my only named weapon, but can you guess what weapon it is?

[DJ]

Degreaser?

[miauw62]

Close, flamethrower.

[hemmingjay]

I have a backburner named Clay Achin'

The name was given to it by my gay best friend, so I think it's ok.

[jc6036]

Speaking of named weapons...

what do people normally trade for keys?

[DarkerDark]

Refined metal.

I think the going rate is 2.33/2.5 refined for a key.
