On August 28, 2022, he shared an interesting opinion regarding headshots with sniper files in online video games:Dr Disrespect@DrDisrespectA headshot with a sniper should be an automatic knock or elimination in any video game.1399885748A headshot with a sniper should be an automatic knock or elimination in any video game.Dr Disrespect's tweet brought about a much-needed discussion about sniper rifles in WarzoneDr Disrespect has some interesting take on sniper rifles (Image via DrDisrespect)While sniper rifles in Warzone have recently received buffs with the release of Season 5 and the Season 4 Reloaded update, the game's overall mechanics do not allow headshots from sniper rifles to eliminate opponents straight away. It instead results in a 'knocked down' state within 30 meters of range.Any headshot over 30 meters would only deal a massive amount of damage to the receiving player, providing ample time to seek cover or reposition.Following Herschel's initial tweet, Modern Warzone on Twitter asked the Call of Duty Warzone community regarding their views on this tweet.ModernWarzone@ModernWarzoneShould a headshot with a sniper be an automatic knock or kill in Warzone? Discuss.7535214Should a headshot with a sniper be an automatic knock or kill in Warzone? Discuss. https://t.co/cjMUerFIvJSome fans seemed to completely agree with the the tweet, claiming that Warzone snipers should reward players for their accuracy instead of other weapon classes such as the Assault Rifles, which have dominated the Warzone long range meta for a really long time.CSB12004@CSB12004@ModernWarzone Yes, snipers should reward good aim4622@ModernWarzone Yes, snipers should reward good aimWestie@MrProWestie@ModernWarzone Yeah I think so. It's a skill shot: small, often moving target at range. You should be rewarded for landing it.1891@ModernWarzone Yeah I think so. It's a skill shot: small, often moving target at range.

With regards to some kind of bullet drop and lead. But not sure if I agree in some cases where it’s too easy or hit scan. TTK disparity gets wild.4581@DrDisrespect I think when their some skill to it 100%. With regards to some kind of bullet drop and lead.

With one shots there is no counterplay, guy shooting first wins, and a game without counterplay is unhealthy and not as exciting.591@DrDisrespect It depends on the game but when the TTKs get closer to 0.5-1s it's hard to justify an infinite range one shot weapon unless it's a power weapon.
