SoGamed on aiming

[CSN NewsBot]

SoGamed.com has released the first part of a three-part guide on aiming. Reading through it, the first part really only goes through mouse sensitivities and theories behind them, but it does answer a lot of questions some players may be having. G3X sends word that part 2 will be released tomorrow.

Laf! Who needs to aim when you have random spray patterns and headshots?

[Shadow-Dragon]

hhmm very interesting. I didnt think about all of that

[stooopid]

Lower sensitivities are clearly beneficial. I agree with that. The extent to which large swipes can be error-prone, however, seems to be the problematic aspect of his argument, IMO.

If you ask me, I like the old aiming system better than what we have now. I used to be able to play with a sensitivity of 4.8 and precision aiming on but ever since like 1.4 I think you have to crank it upto 6.0 and turn precision off in order to get the same speed from the movements.

I think 1.5's aiming is less erratic than 1.3's, but that's just me. Hitboxes are much better, but the random headshot thing still bugs me (no one agrees with me though). Obviously things can still be improved.



GP: I don't think the actual system has been changed in regards to how it handles sensitivities.

Part 2 will be up tomorrow :)

I agree with rizzuh. Cs has be come more n00b friendly.

Well, something in the system has changed. I remember around that time all the slow mouse reports and I had to change certain things in order to get it as close as possible to what I used to have.

How are those two statements related? I don't believe that at all.



GP: I don't think you're trolling or lying, but I haven't heard anything like this before so it might be some OS upgrade or maybe you quit playing for a short period of time?

Personally, I found this to be a horrible article that didn't help my aim whatsoever. MHO.

this is actually news to some of you?

OMG... rizzuh and i agree on something!?



Although I was deeply entertained to get 3 instantaneous HS kills with a ump45, I still think there needs to be some kind of reconcilliation of spray and pray head-shots and aimed attacks.

since CS is bent on realism, shouldn't LUCK be a part of the game?
