"consecutive headshot kills" pop-up in singleplayer??

Post » Sat Aug 07, 2010 7:36 am

I'm posting this here because I suspect it may be a bug, so it could be exclusive to the PS3 version. Several times in the campaign now, I've gotten a popup message saying "3 out of 4 consecutive headshot kills" - I'm pretty sure it's always 3 out of 4. When I try to get 4 consecutive headshots, though, nothing seems to happen, even if I do it without reloading. Now either I'm just wrong about the headshots because the game does seem to differentiate between throat/neck hits and proper headshots, or this is a bug. Has anyone seen this popup too and/or actually gotten the full four? What happens if you do this? There's no trophy (no secret one either) for it, so it's really weird.

Man, I'm such a dumbass, I forgot about the Headhunter trophy because I just got it by accident. Well, that explains it, it's a bug - the message shouldn't pop up anymore, but it does anyway, and nothing happens when you get the fourth headshot because you already have the trophy. Duh.

And it's not that surprising that 1 and 2 don't show up, I think something similar happens with the Fastball trophy, iirc it only popped up once when I had five out of ten.
