Title: Headshots
Post by: Beege on July 19, 2012, 03:59:34 pm

Just found this mod and tried it out a bit last night and loved it.  Feels just like the good ol days.  I realize I need a lot more practice, but I'm curious how most people get their headshots.  When I was playing I was getting slaughtered by constant headshots, but I couldn't find a good way to return the favor.  Are people generally using the aim feature or just shooting from the hip with enough experience to know where the bullet will go?  Does aiming improve your accuracy at all?  Does crouching improve your accuracy?
 
Edit:  I'm aware of how the bullet spread works.

My advice to you....never crouch. I hardly ever aim but if necessary I will.

Aiming improves your accuracy a bit but it slows you down, as you may know. Crouching is only good if you like to go spelunking in the vents.

Practice makes perfect, as with everything. Try to aim your shots by adjusting them based on the bullet tracers. getting used to knowing where the centre of the screen is helps as well but that takes time and a bit of help from what I just mentioned. You can also use the radar or the timer to adjust your aim on the horizontal plane. Keep in mind that silenced weapons don't have bullet tracers so those can be a bit harder to aim with at first but, as I said before, once you get used to knowing where the centre of your screen is, everything will be easier and second-nature to you.

I usually only use the aim mode when the target's really far away.

Thanks for the tips, good to know I shouldn't waste too much time crouching and aiming. 

Are the tracers an option I need to turn on somewhere?

Nope. They show up every time you fire your weapon. If they aren't showing up, look again.
