There should be no one-shots in the game except for extremes, like someone with no armor (just the vest) getting a direct hit by someone in a tank. Longer battles leave more room for tactical decisions and are generally a lot less frustrating. In Counter-strike, you often died before you could even utter a colourful four-letter-word. That worked for that game, because it was twitch, and your respawned shortly after anyway. In Planetside, you won't get back into the action nearly as quickly, so time spent in the thick of things should be proportionally longer.

As for headshots... as long as they're not exceptionally lethal, it's fine. Again, even with a headshot, unless it's an extreme (*perhaps* a sniper hit to the head of someone with zilch for armor) it shouldn't be one-shot. Yeah, I know, all you wannabe snipers want to sit off somewhere and kill a bunch of people without them even having a chance to fight back, but it's not good for the game on a whole. Sure, you're having fun, but nobody has fun dying without even seeing their attacker. And given the wide-open areas in Planetside, that will be extremely likely. The guys making this game had better be damn sure they pay extra attention to the power of sniper rifles... extreme range with zoom capability and high power does not work the same in Tribes or Counter-strike as it will in a game where the playfields are enormous, and the hiding places even more prolific. If they drop the ball with sniper rifles, there'll be hell to pay.
