Default How do you aim? - 12-01-2003, 05:55 PM

As you guys can tell from the question I am brand new to this game. Anyway, everytime I have the cross-hair on someone and pull the trigger, nothing happens. I usually empty a whole clip on the person I am trying to shoot, but I miss everytime. I mean, I am usually very close to the guy and the cross-hair is dead center, but somehow I miss. Could you guys please help me out on this and tell me what I am doing wrong?

well if this is multiplayer itll depend on your connection, 56k will lag a lot so you have to allow a lot of time to hit your target....aim wayyy ahead of the guy.

you also have to anticipate where the guy will go next, aim for the chest and fire in bursts. if you just hold down the triger the bullets go everywhere but your target. just play alot.

If you're using an smg usually the best way is to wiggle left and right or fire in small 3 round bursts. As retarded as it seems your aim seems to improve while employing the waddling\lean technique as opposed to taking a proper aim at the target.

Yeah NEVER hold down the trigger...if you hit anything it'll be an accident.
Since you have no confidence in where your bullets are going make sure you can see your bullet holes on walls and shoot at the wall with the BAR or STG when standing still...it is accurate as a rifle...try moving and it spreads out. Remember that when playing.

I usually shoot in short bursts...long distance i shoot single shots like it's a rifle...close up short burst of no more than 10 shots. Usually more like 5 or so.

When shooting at someone shoot at the side they are going. for instance...If they are moving to the left shoot at the left side of their body(IE the very left edge of the left arm)....If they are moving to the right the right side of their body.(right edge of right arm) If they are right in front of you aim for the chest area.


This only works well with the rifles BAR and STG. It can work with the SMG but it really sprays...and you can have that crosshair right on them and still easily miss if you are a medium distance away. After shooting the wall with the BAR shoot with the SMG's like the thompson or mp40. You'll see how inaccurate it is even relatively close and standing still.

Just keep practicing!! Don't fall into the noob trap of adopting your only weapon as the shotgun!
Lastly, someone else said...you simply have to play a lot. No matter how good you are there is always someone who can woop your ass lol.

All very good tips, short bursts of 3-5 shots are the way to go in most cases, aim high (I always aim for head shots, since they are a one shot kill) but if you miss, your bound to hit them in the upper torso which is a 2 shot kill...

I great place to practice this is v2... the third "line" up from the bottom is about head level, run around with your cross hair at this line, when you run into someone shoot, your bound to hit them in the head.

Hope this helps
