Well that depends on the context of which we discuss. Are we talking about someone wearing a moto helm? Definitely plausible. Are we talking about someone wearing a ballistic helm with no facial protection? Very much plausible.

Why are zombies even being buffed when the game is still in alpha? Its more important that time should be spent on fixing bugs such as falling through the floor to one's death. Ladders throwing people off to fall to their doom. Falling 3 feet and then having both your legs break or result in death. The client being able to run console scripts. etc etc.

It is perfectly possible to render someone unconscious with a single blow. While I can understand people bring up their professional fighting experience, t needs to be remembered that you're intentionally trying not to get hit. Trying to move so that even when struck the full force of the blow isn't taken. If you watch fights that do end in a single blow, you'll notice how clean the blow is, how the fist lands against their jaw/neck. So its perfectly fine IMO, and frankly it makes people more cautious of having someone get close.

I couldn't help but laugh, I honestly imagined it in my head. Seriously though, shouldn't let a freshie get close to you.

Nope, he's a bandit. What is a freshie gonna do? Bite your ankles?
