I also have played many hours of Fallout 3 and never had such a great-looking headshot. Good capture!

Yeah, that looks like the hunting rifle. Glad i’m not the only one who uses it on those nasty ferals! I need to narrow down my weapons choices though, currently toting the hunting rifle, chinese ar, combat shotty, shishkebab, silenced 10mm, 10mm smg, and a lazpistol, plus around 10 naids and mines.

I played the video right as I started reading the warning. I’m in pain.

It was very cool though.

Mexico619, I also think it looks like a hunting rifle. They actually do a decent amount of damage when you max your small arms skill.

I had a similar shot but with the sniper rifle. I was after the guy in the rafters of the left over barn. I could barely see him and the camera followed the bullet for like 6-7 seconds before it hit him in one of his eyes and exploded his head. It was so awsome I love the VATS.

This looks like…almost every other headshot in the game. The camera just didn’t change angles.

That was freak’n awesome. I have not picked it up yet. Fallout 3 is certainly on the to-do list. Thanks for sharing that gnarly headshot! It was the extra push on my decision to get it.

See, that is why Fallout 3 is game of the year. I rest my case.

Thanks! I actually found this on gametrailers first, but the quality was terrible. I had a hell of a time tracking it down on justin.tv as the title was different and everything. I’m still not entirely sure how their site works.
