Deliberate Aim or General Direction

[Jamoe]

One thing I know is my mouse now appears to be far to sensative I have it at 5.3 EEEEKK!!! so I will reduce it asap.

Follow the guide, there is a section at the end (3rd post I think) that shows you how to find your perfect sensitivity. Don't use a setting because someone else does, too many factors affect it.

I use a Green crosshair size 2500. You can see it most of the time without it being distracting.
As for your issues.Bring up Net_graph. I've been having similar problems recently. M4 at near point blank and not getting single hits. My Choke is going upto 80-100 at points. When it does I have major issues.
Anyone who's seen me play without these problems will tell you I might not be the best player, but pick up most point-blanks with my reaction time.
If you have any P2P software running on your connection, that can clog your connection up, and if you've got lots of people sharing the connection it will die.

Agreed @ T-Bag

@ Venom.. be prepared to be testing and messing and tweaking your settings and stuff for a couple of weeks or maybe more!  It took me at least that time to get a setup I was happy with.

I've a 14 week old baby boy, he's had a dramatic effect on my gaming.

I use a large sticking plaster in the middle of my screen. If anything disappears behind it I empty the clip in that direction :devil:

[Aquilifer]

Emptying a clip into an enemy without killing them is seriously affecting how much fun I was having playing cs.

I don't know if I should comment this as I don't play CS. I play and have played other FPS games (currently mostly Arma, which is actually not so much FPS but that's another issue...).

But if if you empty a clip "into an enemy" (your words), so it could be...

- lag (the person is not anymore where you think he he is). But if the person was plantic a bomb (i.e. not moving) I doubt
- some invulnerability hack (if the person is someone outside dmw and especially not dmw server). Especially if he was walking through walls and walking on roofs were nobody else can go

But if you are absolutely talking about your aiming, what I do is...
stop
crouch (prone is even better)
single shot or 2-3 shot bursts should be enough

[Jamoe]

You shouldn't need to empty a clip into someone to kill them.

Out of interest, next time this happens, make a note of how many times you hit them, how much health they had left, ask them if they had armour (likely), note the type of gun you where using and if it was a m4 was it silenced. Also take note of how close you where. It may well just have been you where too far away to go full auto.

Also, do you pull down when going full auto? as this can help counter recoil a little.


I've been trying to find info about hitboxes and how this affects the damage done. I haven;t found anything useful yet.

[Zootoxin]

I was about 15 source feet away using the MP5.
I did 66 damage.

[Bastet]

Depends, normaly,
long range single taps,
mid range burst,
short range just empty the thing.
Also depends on if i have been seen or not. On panizi i managed to get a very nice clean headshot on Blunt cause he didnt see me.
 
What ever works for you though, sometimes you just get unlucky and empty a whoel clip almost point blank and not even hit anything. Sith happens :narnar:

[Jim]

I agree with bastet....

Bit hard to empty a clip into someone when using a scout :roflmao:

[george_weah]

i just aim for centre mass unles i have time for headshot

[Eternaluk]

I tend to always aim, even when I'm right up close to people, letting off as few shots as possible - Usually.

[Lee]

I always try to aim, sometimes when I get suprised I may just do a reflex action in the general direction.

[Luminance]

mine differs with my mood, though i always try to aim, really helps me avoiding teamkills/wounds

close combat depends on my wapon, sometimes spray sometimes the head. ( with deagle i aim for the upper torso/neck)

[Nepotism]

Its all in the mind thats what i think when it comes down to settings and i've tweaked them in all possible ways b4 i started thinking this way. The way i think 2 improve now is just enjoy it whatever the map is have fun then everything else will just fall into place after playing for awhile

happy fraggin
