Your shooting style

[Crime-Master]

i just wanted to devote this section to the style you aim and kill.

when i shoot, i keep the aim on my enemy and focus on nothing else.. i do that while moving left and right rapidly.

my fire rate is semi automatic (apart from when i play with the hyperblaster)

sometimes if there i encounter an enemy in the corridor, i try to get to his side or even the back to cause him to miss a bit at the same time i shoot.

i picked that shooting style from the game "fear combat".

whats your shooting style?;)

[Random Generator]

My aim is always at head level, I encircle the enemy while keeping crosshairs relatively in one spot. And to dodge attacks I move back and slightly left.

If an enemy is close by, I jump at/over him, and shoot point blank to the head. Works so far.

[Szakalot]

i do so many moves id had to spend an hour describing them here. So i wont:p

Simply put : shoot the head, dont let the enemy shoot yours.

[Gradis]

I (try) to shoot at head whilst throwing dancing moves. Plus i try not to hold the trigger to long.

[Singh400]

Kill'em all.

[appleseed]

I click 1

chars

[m1rra]

I always aim at the feet because obviously headshots are lame.
If I had a server, I would have a rule like "Don't aim at the head or you will get perm-banned".
That would make my server #1 in no time. TRUST ME.

RUNNNNN THEMMM DOWNNN WITTTHHHHHH THHHEEE HOGGGGG!!!!
smile as blood spatters on the front shield and vehicles carcasses litter the road.

I move shoot da head. Against tougher foes I do a Grand plié.

[whiteaden]

I shoot & aim for anything but the head, cus that's the only way I'll hit the head :(

[maveldis]

always, i mean always, spray and pray, let the all mighty sort out the technical stuff... really look at my accuaracy i suck at shooting/aiming hense y my fav class is oppressor lol

[TreeFrog]

try being engineer, and sticking a mine on a wall
then track the mine, while strafing

good warmup

good thought however the mine doesn't move or shoot back lol, its not that i can't be a great shot, im just to busy droppin arty on someone or something or actually playing for the team even if that means shooting wildly at enemies just to get them to back off for a sec to finish an objective.

[Leveller]

i shoot at anyone and anything that is not on my team.
aiming at anything that will hurt them,
while dancing around better then in rl

when i encounter two enemies at the same time,
i try to get in inbetween them, or get them lined up behind eachother.
big change one of them won't dare to fire. (in case he hits his friend by mistake)
and if he does fire, chances are he does hits and kills his friend.

what ever the outcome, it can only get better for me.

[murka10]

I wonder more how people's sniping style is more than regular shooting.

[DrFunkenstein]

Aim for the head seems to be the common advice, but I beg to differ.

Depending on the conditions it might be better to aim at other parts of the body. Especially if you're not a very good shot to begin with or if you are playing against people with a significantly lower ping then yours. It's not a very sensible strategy to aim for the head under all circumstances and no one seems to factor in distance when they give that advice.

It basically boils down to this. There are 4 different areas in a player model that have specific damage levels associated with them and these areas are:
- limbs
- body
- upper chest/neck
- head
Listed in ascending order for damage done by a single bullet/lacerator shot. There's a picture that shows the specific areas but I'm too lazy to search for it right now.

If you shoot, you should try to maximize the damage per bullet. In my opinion that means that you should target different areas, depending on the distance, your aiming skills and your ping.

Sorry for being obvious, but aim for the head is too simplistic.

I realize I play under specific conditions, I'm located in Europe but spent most of my time on US servers and this probably affects the way I play. If I'm close I'll go for the upper/chest neck area and if I'm fighting longer distance battles I'll go for the body. I'll go for the head if I'm really close or if I'm crouched/prone/scoped and have the chance to fire multiple shots.

The important thing is to get a feel for where you should aim depending on the circumstances. I make a point of checking the health bar of my opponent when I get killed in a one on one. It will tell me how close I got and it will help me in adjusting my strategy.

[Tanzverbot]

Especially if you're not a very good shot to begin with

Well, if you actually really practice to not aim for the head, the best you can hope for is to become really good at being bad.

[murka10]

I must mention that the body hitbox covers the whole upper area(incl head) so aiming for the head is the only way, if you miss a bit, you hit the body.

Thank you :D

uh..thank you.. i didnt know that

[DrFunkenstein]

Well, if you actually really practice to not aim for the head, the best you can hope for is to become really good at being bad.

You should aim for the part that gives you the most damage and the best chance of hitting something. Who cares wether it's the head, the body or the little toe on the left foot. I'm not saying you shouldn't aim for the head, all I'm saying is you should know when to aim for different parts.

Can you expand a bit on this? I'm not sure what you mean.

[Makins]

My style is the passive-aggressive style. I put some John Travolta moves on (passive) while they get distracted with the foot work. Then one of my team mates nails them from the side (aggressive).

[zaku212]

i either spray em with hypie at close/medium range crouching aiming around shoulder height,or i pick em off with the acc lacerator/scoped ass(lol) rifle,and if thats the case,i'm a fops,so i'm never gonna be short on ammo,so it's accuracy through sheer volume of bullets fired :P,this is when i'm calm,if i'm tired,angry whatever my style changes dramatically(eg. i actually manage to snipe/be good in planes) when i am a rocket/oblith guy,and i kill someone and myself,i'll apologise cos there's no skill in that,and i know how pissed people get when it happens :D
Zaku(right behind you laddies)

And all i'm saying is that i don't know one single situation in this game, where aiming for the head with AR/Lac does not result in the best possible damage/time ratio. And this seems to be not only my personal oppinion, but the general consensus.

Dr. FunkensteinGood point. If I know the enemy is low on health then a sneaky shot in the foot is fine by me.

I personally seem to aim for the top half of the head. Forehead upwards untill it hits the hitbox ceiling. I'm fairly good at dancing about and keeping tracking off the head. Never really aimed for the chest or other parts, unless I'm going for a sneaky shot.

You raise a good point about changing where you aim when distance is involved. I always seem to aim for the head, guess I should look at that. Maybe aiming for the chest at really long distances would work better for me. Hmmmmm. :dance:

[Szakalot]

Good point. If I know the enemy is low on health then a sneaky shot in the foot is fine by me.


good point? so you would fire at the foot? Why not fire at the head? Whats the point of aiming at the food? If thats the only part of the enemy sticking out its obvious to go for that but how does that go with general shooting advices?

The strategy of going for headshots obviously does not apply when headshotting is impossible because the head is hidden, so i have no idea how is that for a point.

If the enemy's low on health, thats where you run up and stab him in the face :p

Hey you're the one with those freaking vids on youtube :D i bet you're awesome, you killed me without even playing against me :eek:

Personaly, i'm a jumper at close range (especialy when in shotgun mood). Jump in the direction of the enemy a little it on the right or left and you'll be really hard to follow :dance:
At mid range, i start to shoot and switch to iron sight. Make short burst ducking and straffing.
At long range i move less and often go prone.

I recently started to showgun 0 and it boosted up my accuracy :cool:

removing gun model = better aim? didn't really enhance my aim but i wish that the commands to remove gun models in vanilla and pro would also remove Guard tower GPMG models... they are too big and in the way :(

[Szakalot]

firing GDF weapons down the ironsights can be trickier, and thus more demanding, resulting in weaker aim.

well he said he turned showgun off and it boosted his accuracy.

What else could it be? Some kind of meta-psychology? He has a brand new UI so he can own anew?

I shoot much better without the gun model on.
There isnt a massive fuzzy picture of a gun in the middle of the screen (low settings)

And you can see more.....not much more, but you can see what the gun model was covering before, which can include dropped nades etc....

rocket soldiers have a MP, which is stronger than the RL at close range, so you may consider reviving them anyway :)

[DHRammstein]

I guess my style reflects that of the military in some ways, with the semi-circle tactic, and I don't always aim for the head. It depends. Outdoors I aim for the chest mostly, and fire in bursts. Indoors I do everything I can to get around them, especially in a corridor, most ppl don't have the nerves to shoot properly. I find the best shooters are absolutely calm in a firefight, this took me about a year of ET to adjust to.
Mostly I try to make use of the environment around me, and although I jump a lot, I won't fire while jumping. I get many kills this way.

[sakhmet]

My play is Experienced Berserker, I die a lot

It started with running directly for objectives shooting wildly at any damn thing that got between me and it and over time developed into something with a little more finesse.

I’m still working on shooting in bursts, aiming for the head, mixing things up in a firefight between backpedaling and circling while firing, running straight at them while firing, jump-crouching, getting behind them, etc. And, I’m still getting caught starting a fight with a half loaded clip, but I’m not TK’ing near as much in group firefights, and my accuracy is going up.

I’ll admit I have no patience for timid players. There is nothing worse than running through a doorway with a teammate waiting outside, killing two or three enemies before dying only to watch a medic/tech take their time getting everyone right back up. And where is your team mate? Not on the floor next to you and not mopping up after you. It happens all the time.

On the other side there is nothing better than playing with a crew that knows what they are doing. It’s like magic, you need a medic they’re there, need backup they’re on your heels, someone spots a sniper and they’re down. I don’t mind losing a game when everyone on both sides is kicking ass.

very true,i even enjoy losing,if i know that the other team was almost equal to ours,and they won,not from stacks,but from teamwork and effort.

[Szakalot]

very true,i even enjoy losing,if i know that the other team was almost equal to ours,and they won,not from stacks,but from teamwork and effort.

so what your saying is that if teams have equally well-aiming players and one of them has additionally nice teamwork, its not 'stack' anymore when they mop the floor with the less teamworking guys? As if, playing 'teamworkingly' grants you the right to win even if the other team doesnt stand a chance?

[GorkerMorker]

I think in that gun-kata way of Equilibrium. Sounds a bit arrogant, but I mean that I put the emphasis more on positioning myself where the opponent might least expect me and therefore has the lowest chance to fire that way. With multiple targets I try to find out who's the most focussed on me. I'm more busy with that then with actually aiming, something which I totally suck at.

not at all,a totally everwhere team can win,team work can be one way to win,but a lone wolf can do it as well,and what i was saying,is that i enjoy a fair fight,i don't like winning on a stacked team,and i don't like being stacked against(but i won't be the one whining about the teams),

As if, playing 'teamworkingly' grants you the right to win even if the other team doesnt stand a chance?
that wasn't even close to what i was saying,i said FAIR TEAMS,not something like 2 v 6,don't even bother to try to pull an argument out of a hat,i'm not rising to it(you're acting like CM)

[Noxiide]

I just strafe and prey that they'll walk in to my bullets. Works 85% of the time!

[Szakalot]

well then, im confused.
You did say 'team almost equal to ours winning not through a stack but through teamwork' - thus i concluded that in your case stack =/ teamwork, not ever.

Following that trail of though no team can be stacked if the difference in skill leve is through teamwork, not other gaming abilities, thus a steamroll on sewer in 3 minutes won by extreme teamwork isnt 'stacked' at all.

also

[bullrage]

I'll say, that im really.... really not good shooter. my accuracy is 23% and my kills/deaths rating is 0,39. I try to hit enemies head, if not succesfully hit body. I usually too much concentrate hitting head and forget moving sides. then im easy bite. but i must say that i am playing this game online only about month (max. two, i don't remember well) so beginners are learning and i gonna learn i think. :)

[Zealot67]

My shooting style is more of a mix. Usually if I'm under fire I jump around and dodge and shoot. When I'm not I aim for the chest or the head with a Shotgun, and that usually takes off half of his life.

[Szakalot]

dont aim for the head with the shotgun, ever.
You dont get any bonus damage from that.

[toxic fart]

My fav weapon is the Hyperblaster, I aim at the chest then move to the head, my distinctive style could be that if I meet multiple enemies I try to cover myself with the first one, usually the other ones keep shooting no matter if the first one is in front of them, or stop shooting for the same reason, so I've some chance to survive. Another characteristic is that almost always I like to have the job done so I shot the wounded.

[Szakalot]

forcing enemies into crossfire is hardly distinctive feature:p unless by 'distinctive' you mean 'not noob-like'.

[sub6]

point at head, hold down mouse 1, dont miss

[Nym_75thRangers]

I'm a big user of the Strogg Tech/Nailgun combo, I developed 3 kinds of styles:

1-Stay behind a piece of cover (if they run by or not, oh well)
a (if they run by)-Nail em in the back
b (if I decide not to let them pass)-Pop up and fire until they fall
2-Airborne Paratroop Drop, it's pretty self explanatory, I actually was lucky enough to get some frags this way
3-BANZAI (cook a shrap nade and run at em and hope I take some with me)

I first used 3 when I was back with the 5th Ranger BN back in Day of Defeat: Source, did that with the M1/K98 rifle nades and even the frag nades. I don't get much of a chance to use it in QW but when I do it seems to work...most of the time

[Kneecap]

I just bought the game in a bargain bin, and i havent explored much of the classes yet, but i have found a pretty effective way to use the GDF soldier's LMG. The LMG is absolutely USELESS if youre not using the ironsights. Use it on all ranges even close combat, and it will just spray death upon your foe. My movement style alternates between side stepping and jumping in place, randomly.

[Szakalot]

by 'lmg' you mean the gpmg or the assualt rifle?
For the former thats true, however dead close you might fire from the hip to have more mobility and awereness;
if the latter, dead close with ironsights will render you vulnerable to anyone profficient in movement skills, they'll flank you and kill you; additionally sometimes the loss in mobility is a bigger disadvantage compared to the accuracy you gain.

[Kneecap]

I meant the gmp or whatever. LMG stands for Light Machine Gun... Oh and the pay off for mobillity when it comes to ironsights with the gmpggggmgmmg (lmg) is well worth it, because the accuracy is shit if you dont fire with it. I win 7 out of 10 close combat duels with the LMG bcs i aim with the ironsights, even with spastic bunnyjumpers.

[Szakalot]

i know, gpmg ironsighted increases its accuracy tenfold, a crouch is everything you need for long range, with perhaps the problem of only one part of the stroggy standing out, the recoil might be hard to control to be effective with partially covered enemies at higher distance.

[Kneecap]

Yup, i noticed that aswell, so I seldomly waste bullets at hiding enemies... But sometimes my greed for XP takes over. :P

[Deeder]

I can teach you but id -have -to-charge.



Sakhmet. how do i bet kill in the game?


People ask 'how do you shoot'? You answer, Well.. I shoot well.

Jumping in a fire fight is the WORST thing to do. Why? I will answer..

No accuracy when you jump, while in the air, youre shots will not land on target.

When you jump, you show the enemy where you are going to be, and where he should put his crosshairs.

If i am sniping, and you jump, you're a dead man, your corpse just hasnt landed yet.

keep your feet on the ground to maintain maximum accuracy while moving. crouch and lean, you can only lean while standing still however.

this may sound crazy- move your mouse as little as possible, keep yourr crosshairs at their shoulder level and straf back and forth keeping them in your reticle with only minute mouse movements.

most of the best players ive seen are usuall full of jumping; even in pro.

In vanilla the accuracy loss is neglible because the accuracy is bad in the first place.
The plus of jumping is that you are almost certainly avoiding headshots, it also forces people to aim vertically which is not something people excell at when it comes to tracking.

A low sens player will end up shooting your feet in the air, which is a laughable amount of damage, while you fire at his head.

Since the headbox is a prism, you can increase your headshot accuracy by 40%, thats how much bigger the headbox is when approached from 45 degrees off, vertically.

Its just a thing to do close up, not from a distance.

but when you are in the air, you have no accuracy. and thus can not be relied on to deal damage back, and so you take damage, even if its negligable
any accuracy gained by the larger target hitbox of the head at an angle is lost by the fact you in mid air.

if you want to make them aim vertically throw some crouches in your dance, that'll increase your own accuracy while forrcing your opponent to aim up and down


And i think we should make our arguments based on vanilla physics and gameplay- as its probably what the creator of the thread plays and thats the advice hes looking to recieve.


yes, most players jump a lot. these are not the tactics to win your fight.

when two good players are shooting it out- you'll never see either of their feet leave the ground.

you gott a knife out- jumpm all you want - no acccuracy loss there

[Szakalot]

Read what i wrote pls; ive seen the best player in the game from top teams like Kompaniet or Dignitas jump around a lot while fighting in pro where its LESS EFFICIENT then in vanilla.

at point blank you dont need good accuracy to score a hit, just a general direction will suffice, at point blank what matters is whether you can avoid the 'very easy to get' headshots.

the creator of this thread has long left the scene, he posted somewhere he was quitting due to us bashing his uber tactics, while all we did was post facts about how it was outdated :)

[Zeah]

I've tried just about everything and anything but these stupid *** things keep happening and either I die or I die and look stupid. And then when I kill people they say things like "hax leet laggin blah blah blah"...

I loled. They even made a thread about it!! Looks like the 'Tards' is the right name after all...

[raccoon.]

If i think about how I am strafing and crap I fail. I just get in the zone n own.

Rambo-style, of course.

Only just read this! Thank's! I will try and get back to you.

I move at 1 side aming at their harts

Same, I usuall end up doing well with movement without realising. It's likeyou become one with the game...

[Leethal]

I actually make an effort in moving, and still suck, and make an effort in aiming, and suck :P That's my technique!
That's why you'll probably see me running towards the obj. That's where I score the points.

Though for some reason, I sometimes get most kills. But I only play poobs... and what are poobs fooll of?



noobs

:) but it's fun.

[Gristo]

I always aim for the head

If the turret talks to you, you might have gone too far. :p

Meh, movement becomes a reflex, like keeping cross-hairs head-high.

Jumping is useful either. The crazy sniper dance is effective (railgun only)- crouch, shoot, jump to the side, shoot in mid air, crouch as you land, rinse and repeat.

[unarmed]

I'm not a great shot and my accuracy can range between 22-36% (~28.5% avg from stats) depending on how I feel, but constant movement (strafing mostly) is important to make you the most difficult target you can. I try to keep moving all the time then and aim as high above my opponents torso as my accuracy on the day allows. If my shot is bad, then my incessant movement at least gives me a chance to escape with my life and support the team a few steps back from the front line. I frequently get the best battlesense/coward award playing this way.
