Learn how to shoot in FPS.

Nice words and help from everyone.

Just thinking, maybe the reason is that I have had a girlfriend living with me since ever and I have never had too much time :)

Yet I remember the PsychoGib gun in Quake... :) But I enjoyed the SP part but not the fast paced MP quake/unreal/HL games, so I denied myself that hard LSD-training most followed.
Very early I went to tank, helo, flight and tact sims, where hopping like a bunny is an insta-death LOL. For example, now testing the MOH beta,.. unless the final game has bigger maps it is nothing but an evolved corridor shooter killfest again and again

BFBC2. it's what you need.
 
got it for full price, and it is ok, but hell not the ultimate game!!! six maps??? gimme a break :)

but basicly ok, miles ahead of the MOH and COD and CS crap...

THE ORIGINAL GHOST RECON ANYONE? :) :) :)
 
Any guide for FPS like counter strike ?
Im needing one because that type of game has random shoot...
 
Listen guys do liek me in Battlefield 2 multiplayer. Heavy machine gun 800 bullets and spray the hell out of them. my accuracy is somehing like 7.51% but just spray and wait for someone to come in firing range :P
 
Nice guide. Hopefully I can figure out where to put the reticule for sniping finally. So damn frustrating. Aiming in a tank is actually easier for me.
 
I enjoyed this guide. When I started playing BC2, I got worked so hard because I couldn't kill anyone (thanks to all that CoD4). Now I'm getting the any of it, endemic guide will help even more. Sniping is tough though! Thanks for the tips!
 
Mail, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this.

But I fail to see how this has any relevance in video game shooters where the vast majority take very little of these factors into account.

In most cases, you have to get a feeling for each game individually and end up finding the best 'methods' to increasing accuracy.
That should never happen. Guns are guns, bullets are bullets, and the wind is not discriminatory.

You need to play BC2.
 
Awesome post, Mailman. You really did put a considerable amount of time towards this post - kudos =)
It really is a shame that most games don't use accurate physics. I so did like it when I set the targeting reticule a hairbreadth above a guy's head in counter strike and it simply went against the wall behind him, even if he was almost on the other side of the map. I always found that to be so, so funny :laugh:

Recently, with my recruit into Portugal's Air Force, I managed to get a feel for real shooting (Never shot before in my life, not even a BB...). Man was it great. Having to compensate for each weapon's own little trick (there was this one which I had to put my aiming reticle in the top of the target, and a little to the right so it would drop on the 10 points area (Using old G3's, of course... Nothing better over here...)).
But I remember the frustration of hitting the outer area of the target... and then the feeling of rejoice of compensating and hitting the bullseye. Man that was glorious.

It'd be great to see some manner of improvement in games in this area. I know it detracts from the "general crowd" the companies are trying to sell their games to, but hey... I think an actual Shooting simulator, including variables like wind, might have an actual niche ;)
 
wasn't this sticky'd at one point?
 
Yeah it was. A mod didn't think it was relevant anymore.
 
aha! i have been freed from my n00b hood in FPS games!!
:respect:
 
the last pic is real right??
 
I applied your lessons in Crysis 2 multiplayer, do you have any tips on shooting invisible, lightning speed targets? Because Im kind of failing at it

Absinthe.

pretend you're playing golf, go for the lowest score. spawn, nade feet. respawn, nade feet. repawn, nade feet.


do it enough and you'll kill him at least once due to proximity. lol

unless of course he's using the armor/god mode hack too. then just focus on getting the best golf score ever.

550 under par!
