I think I remember you telling me that at some point. And honestly, the
problem with audiogamers... is that a lot of people, not all but a fair few,
want things to be easy. What audio gamers consider a difficult game would be
standard affair for mainstream gamers, and I think that headshot aspect
should've remained in, especially since it wasn't technically necessary. I'm
curious though... how would you have people centre the sound in both
horrizontal and vertical planes? Most headphones can't handle up and down
all that well when panning sounds, at least, not that I know... I was
thinking to have some sort of elongated sound for when you were lined up for
a headshot. That's how I would've done it. I've just always found that to be
an aspect of fps games that've been missing in audio shooters and would add
so much more skill and challenge.

Clement, Swamp almost had a headshot aspect to it, but early in development
I took decided against that feature because it increased the difficulty for
players. The original idea was that moving the mouse vertically would line
up head shots, so you had to center the sound on both axis. In those early
days I was still fighting tooth and nail to even get people to accept the
mouse, so I limited the game to a single horizontal axis.
