Is there a greater damage percentage for headshots? I'd have to also say that from a physics standpoint, a directed energy weapon such as a laser would not be highly effective against infantry if it hit on the torso. The wounds would cauterize instantly and not slow the person down much. A head wound would be disastrous since the brain is made of fatty material and would instantly be cauterized, but portions of it would also melt like a stick of butter on a hot pan.
I'm just coming at this from a physics standpoint. No, I have not played the game. But the way that I see it is that the weapons are useful, and very specific to their use. Maybe the weapons also require more finesse to use properly. Then again, you could easily shut my comments down by pointing out that I have not played the game yet. I'm just wondering if you've tried everything as thoroughly as you've said.
