There is no increase in control over movement at lower resolutions. When you move your mouse it changes the angle you're pointing at, and AS A RESULT, the renderer shows the world at a different angle. What you're saying would mean that somehow the variables in a certain structure in HL magically are affected by the resolution. Such a thing would require EXTRA coding and would needlessly add to the computations done every frame.
Ok pixels or no pixels its easier to aim at lower res. More control over your movement so post all you want and waste as much time as you want the game will never change.
gg

Low res reduces lag though, especialling on LAN.....which equates faster shooting......
LuftWaffle wrote..anyway, I still am aware that no matter how you break it down or explain it, the aiming is easier at lower res. Controling yourself is easier and in return aiming is easier. Simply said "Aiming at lower res is easier then aiming on higher res."

I hope you're joking when you say "so post all you want and waste as much time as you want the game will never change." That would be the single most ignorant thing I've ever seen anyone ever say. I'm wasting my time by explaining to you how the game actually works, and you think that I'm somehow trying to change how the game works by explaining this to you? Uh alright.

As for faster shooting - No. The rate at which, for example, the mp5 shoots is time-based, not frame-based. Also, actual damage is calculated on the SERVER, which is totally independant of your own computer. Your computer may slow to such a point where it looks like you're shooting at half the rate you should be (maybe if you're doing like 5 frames per second), but the same damage is being done on the server. Reason for this? The server gets two events from each client for each button - pressed and released. Until it gets a released signal from your fire key (or you run out of ammo) it is still doling out damage.

I should use the "report to admins" option on Luft's posts for knowing too much about pixels and stuff.
You-Know-Who wrote..that total confuzed me...
I like poopy. But pixels are nice. Why can't I set my resolution to 700x700? Why is it 800x600? WHY CAN'T I HAVE A PROPER SQUARE!? I hate you for touching my bum.

what abut monitor size?
surely if you have a 21" running 400x300 the models heads will look bigger?
or am i just an idiot.

mugwamp wrote..lol, actually no thats not what I was trying to say. Maybe what I was saying was bullshit and LuftWaffle was right. Your all nubs, based on logistics it is all the same with the exception of the text and crosshair so gg to all. Theoretically LuftWaffle is more correct then the many of you by far.
people here have got some seriously weird ideas about how computers and games work, its freaking funny. Lower res = Less "Lag"...... well DUH, the video card has a much easier time at increasing lower resolutions, so people play at whatever resolution their video card can handle (honestly I don't understand people that play above the 1024x768 or 1152x864 area, thats just too small for me, you must have to have a magnifing glass out when you play). Anyway, I would like to know who said that Lower Res = Easier/More Headshots to being with because thats about the funniest myth I've ever heard. Also I think getalife is trying to say that at lower resolutions everything appears bigger, so that gives him the feeling of better control even though the control/movement/etc is the same. (well actually thats not what he was saying, but thats probably what gives him the feeling of better control at low res)
and that g3....... UGH!
