Actually, I have a funny story from Halo 2.
Me and my friend were in a sniper match, on the map Terminal, just chillin' in the train lobby, talking. Well as we were talking I saw someone try to sneak up and assassinate my friend, so in a split-second reaction I shouted "HE'S COMING RIGHT FOR US!" and no-scoped him in the head. It was awesome.
While we were staring at the dead body, remarking how awesome that shot was, someone tried to sneak up and assassinate me. My friend looked at me and shouted the same thing, and no-scoped him as well.
We then concluded that we were badasses, and ran outside shouting "BRING IT ON, BITCHES!"
We were both promply shot in the head by the opposing team right when we stepped outside.
Ah, good times.

MW1 guys shooting me up with an assault rifle. I put an RPG in his head. And it was no point blank range. One of my luckiest and coolest kills ever.
Also I've gotten at least one 3 kill headshot in MW2 with a sniper rifle.

Most amazing example for me was in Battlefield 3 a couple weeks or so back.
Enemy attack helicopter comes in for a strafe run, gunning directly for me, couple of rocket pods landed around me and so did some 30mm rounds from the gunner, so I was under the suppression effect, yet I still manage to pull up my scope and somehow, somehow headshot the pilot and watch the helicopter gracefully float to the floor as the gunner bails.
Naturally, screams of hax ensued.

I had a almost similur experience. Only, instead of the piolet, it was one of the gunners on the side. What really made it awesome was that I was screwing around with the L96 with just Iron sights and I landed a headshot. The anger from the guy I killed was only matched by the primal yell of a guy that got taken out in a DPV from across the map in Omen (wasnt my kill, but wish it was...)Master Kuja said:
Times saved by a lucky headshot just in time: 3.
Times the shoe was on the other foot: 7,603.
^Times it happened in Modern Warfare: 8
^Times it happened in Halo: 1 (the rest were sticky-nade deaths. Every one of them.)
^Times it happened in Combat Arms: 7,594
"Let's introduce helmets, that give % protection from headshots!"
"Yeah, and let's make those percentages so low that they never actually make up for headshot bonus damage!"
"Great ide-...wait, what?"
"Too late, already programmed!"
I better stop now. I could fill a book on everything wrong with that game...

Huh, only took two posts before someone brought up CA's BS hitbox issues.JaceArveduin said:

I always figured they were just cosmetic, like the aviators and normal goggles. As for what's wrong, it all started going down hill with the P90 TR, if memory serves me.Reishadowen said:
Managed to headshot a chopper pilot in Bad Company 2 as he was lining up for a strafing run. That's one of those feelings that'll put a smile on your face for the rest of the day.
My favorite headshots were from when i played Rainbow Six Vegas 2 on my 360. Me and 3 buddies from work would always head home after and we'd boot up our 360's and do pvp for hours on end.
I never used the Famas, cuz that gun is completely cheap and requires no skill to use. I'd use the P90 or the L82A5, or whatever its called. We'd be playing a match, and my K
ratio was never god-like or pr0-status, but whenever the chips were down, and we'd be ducking behind cover because we'd been out-flanked, suddenly it'd be like the scene in tombstone with Kurt Russel, I'd break from cover and just score headshot after headshot. I got reported for hacking and was actually monitored by an Admin on XBL for 3 matches. Gotta love poor sports, eh?

Gears 3 - 2 enemy players - popped one's head with a gnasher from around the corner, threw smoke, retreated, grabbed a boomshot, and killed the other.
Gears of war series - several Torque bow headshots (and 1 boomshot headshot) on grinders in Horde and campaign.

Source mod called No More Room in Hell -- it's a zombie multiplayer FPS, real good fun, just a bit stupid at times.
I was running around with one of these babies, run into a fast zombie, randomly fire (bolt action, so I would've been screwed) and get a trick headshot. There's no crosshairs in the game, and the scope would've done nothing if I had aimed it.
I don't know why the instance stood out in front of any other stories. Except those oh-so satisfying double headshot Machina kills in TF2, when I used to use the Machina.

MW2 has the best example for me.
Losing 7300 to 7400 points:
The last kill was me firing the barrett hopelessly (I don't quickscope, but that was all I could do) and it turns out I kill the guy. Then I see another enemy dying 75 meters away. From the same shot.
We won, and the final killcam was so much better than a nuke

I've done this in Uncharted so many times. I usually let the recoil handle it for me.
In PAYDAY I needed one headshot to level up, and I had two bullets left for my uzi. If I leveled up I would regain health and ammo. First shot missed, second shot hit him.
