On my MP Service Record, 'General' tab;
My 'Headshots' stat is 40.
But... if I look at some other stats...

Headshots with MK60 = 12 (it's the only gun I've used, so all other weapons = 0 headshots)
Skill Shot 'Headshot!" = 9

How can I have 40 headshots? O_o
Am I missing something? Or are some stats broken?

Regards.

Melee attacks count as head shots iirc, and your weapon headshot count only registers kills. But the game requires a few headshots to kill someone with most weapons so the counter keeps track of them all.

The "headshots" on the General Tab is not per kill. Mine currently lists 4,824 as headshots out of 11,832 kills. My most commonly used weapon, the Feline, however has a told of 399 Headshot kills. This makes me believe the stat is either broken or is actual bullets that were put in a head (i.e. actual headshots, not just shots that hit and killed to the head).

As far as Skill Shot "Headshots" go, it depends on if that was the award that was given at the time of the Headshot. For example, you may have a "Vengeance" or "Double Kill" or something similar instead of getting the "Headshot" Skill shot, thus you are not given that skill shot but rather then one shown on the screen. For example, I've frequently gotten a "First Strike" that should have been a "Specter" (Assassination) that does not figure in to my total tallies for Assassinations but instead in to the "First Strike" category.

OK, that makes perfect sense. Thanks for the replies.

I hadn't considered that it could take more than one headshot to get the kill.

@Goose306: In that case, when there could be multiple skill shot awards in a single kill, how is it determined which one you will be awarded? Or is it random? I think it would be nice to get all possible awards in a single kill. For example, get Vengeance, Busted and Headshot in one kill.

I agree as well. I believe there is a precedent system per Skill Shot. For example, I know a "Specter" will always take precedence over almost anything else, included a "Vengence" and the "Denier" (or whatever it is for stopping a streak). However, I know that it is not awarded if it is a "First Strike" as that always takes precedence, and same with Double/Triple kills. I know this because I have counted my number of assassinations I get in a match and it didn't align with the number on my service record due to getting other skill kills in it's place.

It seems like the system has a preference for giving you different ones depending on the circumstances, and some have a higher "rank" than others, so to speak in regards to how and when you get them, that is, it is largely predictable if you got it down. I agree that I wish it would give you all the proper skill kills per kill, but it doesn't however.

How do you guys have so much time on your hands to get nearly 10k kills?

Well when your getting an average of 15-20 kills every match it doesnt take long in reality.

Just passed 13k from Double XP weekend and over 2,100 Specters

As they say, 15-20 a match, games been out for 3 months now. You get the idea.

Thats a lot of free time!
