Please fix headshots
The only players unaffected are those who use a controller, seriously who the heck uses a controller to play a fps on PC?

If you haven't noticed previously on retail version of Mass Effect 3, heads on certain enemies always exploded when receiving a certain amount of damage.

It is not the case anymore while using keyboard and mouse, the game doesn't consider it as a headshot and thus pretty certain there are no extra damage from it.

Please fix it... :(

That's 100% not true. Theres less exploding heads but you definitely get the extra damage.

Just use a sniper rifle with a Concentration Mod. Hit someone in the body, then one shoit someone in the head and you'll easily notice the difference.

This is not a fps.

Indeed. And I was glad to use a controller for the LE. M&K works fine, but I prefer a controller for third-person games like this.

As for the headshots: Can't comment on any difference between controller and M&K, but did they reduce the rate heads explode in general? I noticed some gore here and there during my playthrough, but don't remember if it was more in the original.
Mass effect games are all in the Third Person, not fist person, so at best this makes it a TPS not an FPS... and most people would argue it's as much an RPG as a shooting game, making it a TPS-RPG hybrid.

I agree, let's call it a TPS.
But that wont resolve the issue!

Indeed gore is still present when using combo detonation.
Well I'm playing on PS4 so can't comment on PC issues, but if it's an issue I would advise you to report it directly to Bioware, if enough people tell them about it, then they should fix it in the next patch...

Frankly, I don't believe there will be a next patch...

i play this using a xbone controller using a custom build HTPC connected to my TV.

There's no issues with headshots, they work just fine in all three games. I played them as a sniper and there's no doubt about the difference of hitting the head or the body.
