How to know if you have been killed by a headshot

battlefield-3

What are the telltale characteristics that you have been pinged in the head? Or indeed, are there any?

Best Answer

If you are killed via a headshot, or you kill someone via a headshot, a little green target will appear next to the name of the person who was killed (your enemy if you killed someone, or you if you were killed).

Demonstration

Keep in mind this only shows up upon someone's death, if you headshot someone, or are headshot, and no-one dies, you won't know for sure if it was a headshot or not.
