I guess this is a tactics question.

It depends alot on the headset and the user himself offcourse. I can say where enemys are sometimes seconds before someone else does and can also say when they are above or left or right. Better not try this technique on our server because all of them know where to run or not. As sadako said: Try it on a public first. I've been called a cheater alot because I hear someone running and just when he exits I allready shoot at head hight (BTW, Sadako his the topgit in it so watch out).
The VC can also be used alot for sharing information and set up an excellent crossing fire with a teamm8.

Play by sound and radar + VC. What I do on a public is team up with one of the better players and see how he does the shooting and so.

And also, have most of you tweaked your mouse sensitivity?  I've asked a few people I know Brother Funk uses like a 1.5 and I've heard some people from CAL IM say that they're using as high as 12.

I've been moving mine inbetween 2.5 and 5.1 or whatever, I suppose that is just a preference but curious to know whether you guys have yours set fairly consitant between the group.

First of all it depends on what type of mouse you are using. I play with a trackball which is way different than a regular mouse. I have a sensitivity setting of 8 when I play.

Another thing you can play around with is screen resolution. The 1337 players that play for money rarely have resolutions higher than 800x600 in game. It is actually very common that they use 640x480. I am not 1337 hence I use the 1280x1024 setting. I don't know how or if it impacts on the game but feel free to play around.

i use 800x600 n i no lot of peeps who use 640x480  :whistle:

[Grimnar]

well i use 1024/768
and am using a normal mouse.
my sensitivity is at 7.2


But your resolution does matter.
I know that in 1.5 you can have 600/800 and use a awm good on aiming on the player. But when you were using a higher resolution you needed to aim next to the player to shoot him good. (you can think huh but check it out and you will se it is that way)

But in 1.6 i dunno if it is that way because i don't use a awm much in 1.6.

[George^]

I probably should try out the smaller resolutions.. I run at 1024x768 or whatever.  But when I tried to run it smaller my screen would always get spammed by say and I couldn't see like 1/3 of it do to all the chatter..

I donno it's a give and take type deal..

I guess 5.0-6 would be alright for my mouse sensitivty then.

Mines at 16 and iam as bad as BB ....so i might try your setting out mike see if it helps

[Anonymous]

Mmm, 16! Hadn't thought of that. Cheers Steve, I'll try it

[George^]

Just a little update, after going over some of the comments / suggestions. I went back on the same server I was 4-24 a few days ago and ended up 21-16 which isn't all that bad for a 16v16 and it was the same people more or less.

Thanks guys.  

CS is feeling more like golden-eye for N64 now. Where I hold the all-time title for "Most Dishonorable" - shots to the back.  Basically all I'm seeing is the enemy's back or they just don't react as quick as me coming out of a doorway ect.

Result!!!

[Peppster]

I play with 1.2 in sense( have an Mx500).

I also use 800*600, try it!!

And so to my very own tip
If you don´t have a grenade use Q to switch fast between your gun and pistol.
If you spray and run out of bullets you don´t have time to reload, then you press Q (if you have deafult settings) and your pistol will come up faster than if you scroll or press #2.  Get used to that and you will get many easy frags.

You can use this when you have grenades too.

[George^]

I'll keep the quickswitch in mind, but lately most of my firefights happen to be whoever gets the headshot first it's not really a thing with running out of bullets.

And also I'm not a fan of 1v1.    

Also, I am using 800x600 now.  the 1024 is just to much screen to look at and the 640 is just to much chat text to look at.
