Nice video man, and I'm honored you compared against me, but I'd just like to say that percentages are very deceiving... for a few reasons. Snipers behave differently, and it's often smarter to go for body shots when using medium-high impact snipers.
I've always told people one of the big aspects of sniping is to know when you need to go for the head. If I'm playing with a teammate and he has called out an opponent that he has hit (or if I see him firing and have faith he has tagged someone), I will go for whatever shot I can hit quickest and most reliably... usually to the chest.
Another factor is when you look at a sniper with low impact and high stability (ie Praedyth's Revenge). Sometimes you get angles where the best play is to just go for two body shots. With it being so quick, you can actually waste more time trying to line up certain headshots instead of just going for the body twice. Hell, sometimes you can't even see the head :P.
I have a friend who has an 80%+ headshot rate, but I know he wouldn't come close to outplaying some of the better snipers out there.

And not everyone uses the same sniper RoF/Impact some of us are MLG who can go for headshots every time and anytime and we have the Average Joe who uses the Mid RoF/Impact who still needs to keep learning

Edited by Diddy: 11/11/2015 6:37:04 PMI must say that this is the first time I've seen you post on these forums, but then I will follow by saying that if one person has influenced my game at all, it has been you. All of your vids are fantastic. I'm pushing to be on your level, and eventually I'll get there. Keep an eye out Hovey, I'm comin. All thanks to you man. [spoiler]your the real MVP[/spoiler]

Ditto

this guy does not go for the objectives lol. I don't even have 2 million medal score, but I have 3x the amount of captures.

I don't really play control... at all. I hate 6v6. If I do, it's for iron banner, where I'm playing with a team. All 6 players shouldn't go for an objective, that would be poor teamwork. I happen to be decent at slaying, so that's normally my job. Hell, control's primary objective is killing any way. It's a poor example of an objective gametype.
