| Tips on Head Shots - SOCOM 2 Online
Can anyone give me some good tips on how to increase my head shot percentage on SOCOM 2 Online? I often use an IW80, and alternate with a M4A1SD.
I have tried respawning maps, but I don't seem to be improving much.
Thanks,

What Silvanos said, watch their head, aim for their head, shoot em in the head.

As our Socom friend War Child can attest, buying a big ass television increases your odds of a headshot immensely.
If you have a 25" TV, the head of the enemy may be about an inch on your screen. On a 60" TV, however, that same head is a good 2.3" inches or so. Buy a bigger TV.
Beyond that, simply aim for the upper torso and the headshots will come.

Don't blame me. I voted for the one with a brain. |

Don't fire your weapon if the reticle is green or aimed at the torso/leg/arms. Fire only when the reticle turns red at the head. Stop firing when the guy is dead. Don't team kill either. |

Try out your sniping skills. You will usually get 1-2 people per round that will just stand there and let you take them out with a free shot.

Thanks Guys,
I will try to concentrate on each suggestion. I already have a 32" TV, and that is all we can afford right now.
Thanks again for the input, maybe I'll see some of you there.

| another good thing to try is bursting more. Not like M16 but shoot more in bursts rather than just unloading. Especially for mid to long range.
IW is definetly the gun to go with for mid range and long range shooting.
Other than that if you really just want to boost head shots. As headhunter mentiond definetly try Sniping. It takes a little time at first but once you get used to it that will help you greatly improving head shots.

also make sure your in the standing position if you stop and not in the crouching position or that will have your shot go lower. |

The M87ELR seems to have a lot of wobble if you are standing or crouched. I like the 25SD, and the wobble is considerably less, but the head shot is just about a necessity.

I don't believe Socom I comes close to tactical strategies, armament reality, and a lot less cheats on Socom II.
What say You?

| Hopefully they have figured SOMETHING out for Socom 3...
But I have no idea what they could do to improve their servers that they could not do now... which they are not.
So basically, I have no real hope that Socom 3 will be any less laggy...
A better balance between terrorists and seals would be nice..
