Quite often I miss really easy shots. I see a soldier coming towards me, or a medic lingering about, and no matter how hard I try, my hand just won't move in order to get my crosshair on their heads. Does/did that ever happen to you? If it did, how did you overcome it? Is simply practice going to do it? I feel that I should be much better at aiming with the hours I spent in this game :/. Also, any tips in sniper vs sniper? I've sniped against people on deathmatch servers who constantly headshot me the instant they scoped in, no matter how far I was or how randomly I moved. Does it all come down to simply good muscle memory and hence practice? I can pull off shots like those, but not all the time; those guys were consistent, they never missed. I know gamesense is more important than aim, but for me aim is just like karate: if you know it, you get more confidence in yourself.
I'm not really the ideal person to be asking about sniper questions. Spike linked you to a similar answer as Jh, but I'll give my input: I can't give any tips for sniper vs sniper, but I can give slight tips on "missing easy targets" - don't worry about it. If you're missing easy shots, it's usually down to panic or pressure. I know it doesn't look omg frag movie sick if you take your time aiming a shot - but it's probably worth it.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14596&post=250586 Mon, 29 Nov 2010 16:54:55 +0100 Reply by Shintaz https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14596/page-9/?recent=250597#post=250583 Quoted from freshmeatt
Warmup over actual game? How do you warm up? Does a scout really need to be able to do a 180*+n turn with one sweep of a hand? Where does everything you put in a box called 'gamesense' come from? How do you climb walls on your way? How do you break retarded habits, like twitching all the bloody time? How do you cope with retarded hitreg? Was there even a time you were obsessed with your aim? What's the difference between d3 and d5 scout? How do you actually get good if your aim sucks? Can you be a scout while sucking at meatshotting people? If you can win with everything's being default and some apparently 'retarded' binds, then why do people bother so much?
Actual game. A scout doesn't NEED to, but personally, I can. Experience. Not sure what you mean by this question, sorry. Twitching isn't a retarded habit if it works. If you want to change your style of aim, just constantly DM by tracking etc (which, imo, is the best way to aim). Rage on mumble. Not really. Not quite sure if I'm honest - I guess there'd just be more team chemistry/teamplay with a D3 scout. I wouldn't put it past you that a D3 scout always definitely has a better aim than a D5 scout. Wondershowzen was div6 before he got into reJ (finding the right team etc) This has already been answered - it's all practice and experience. There's no doubt that your aim and movement would improve if you practiced it against different people regularly. They don't really 'bother', they just seem amazed at how I place my hands.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14596&post=250583 Mon, 29 Nov 2010 16:52:22 +0100 Reply by Spike Himself https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14596/page-9/?recent=250597#post=250579 Quoted from metalpiss

I asked a similar question in Jh's thread, you might want to take a look at that as well ^^ Edit; link! http://etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14518/page-2/?recent=249231#post-248137]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14596&post=250579 Mon, 29 Nov 2010 16:49:08 +0100 Reply by Shintaz https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14596/page-9/?recent=250597#post=250577 Quoted from morf
When are you gonna give me enough engi-material? Or should I say, when are you gonna topscore as engi to prove Epsilon wrong in not letting you play engi?
When they let me play it in the first place :(]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14596&post=250577 Mon, 29 Nov 2010 16:47:06 +0100 Reply by metalpiss https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14596/page-9/?recent=250597#post=250456 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14596&post=250456 Mon, 29 Nov 2010 03:59:09 +0100 Reply by freshmeatt https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14596/page-9/?recent=250597#post=250432 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14596&post=250432 Mon, 29 Nov 2010 01:04:29 +0100 Reply by morf https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14596/page-9/?recent=250597#post=250410 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14596&post=250410 Sun, 28 Nov 2010 23:38:17 +0100 Reply by Shintaz https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14596/page-9/?recent=250597#post=250409 Quoted from Linus
how did you come up with your name?
Not a clue. Seriously. I used to be Wraith, but since I started playing UT2K4, I just kinda... changed. I honestly haven't a clue how.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14596&post=250409 Sun, 28 Nov 2010 23:36:34 +0100 Reply by Linus https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14596/page-9/?recent=250597#post=250408 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14596&post=250408 Sun, 28 Nov 2010 23:29:56 +0100 Reply by Shintaz https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14596/page-9/?recent=250597#post=250397 Quoted from Rudi
You said you have been playing CS:S surf, were you any good? On a scale from 1 to 10, how much would you say that the experience from that has helped you in TF2?
I was pretty awesome at CSS surfing - I'd say 7 or 8. And if it wasn't for CSS surfing, I probably wouldn't of been able to airstrafe since Day 1 of TF2, so I'd say it did actually help me with movement a lot.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14596&post=250397 Sun, 28 Nov 2010 23:08:31 +0100 Reply by Shintaz https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14596/page-9/?recent=250597#post=250395 Quoted from flushy
