BF2S Forums Aiming and Accuracy habbit

That is a hard question to answer.

You have to take many things into consideration.

Like if the target is prone / bunny hopping / long range / mid range / short range / what kit they are using????


If the target is prone, I take a little more time aiming and go for the head, I also do this if the target is long range.

If the target is close range I shoot the millisecond the cross hair goes over them.

This is only one of the factors that come into play in a fire fight.

I think the most important factor is being able to predict your enemy’s movements and out smart them.

lol i dunno i always get pissed/ nervous when i miss headshot whether i missed by an inch (in real life....duh) or if the stupid hit counter doesn't work so I'm like: "easy does it...and don't move"

I know what you mean. I love accuracy and absolutely hate complete misses, especially when you know your aiming point was fine. If it helps I've just learned to go with the flow, annoying as it is at the time (bear in mind I generally go for body shots so it makes a miss all the more frustrating!) your trend in accuracy is always upwards once you've learned the basics of where to aim, until you get to your peak accuracy which is a long way away for most players.

I'm only using a Microsoft optical, nothing fancy here until my G5 arrives.

Strangely this works for me quite well with the M95,seems that there's a different bullet speed for the rifles.

Around the time I was testing this I began to notice one thing that may account for some of the difference in the 'feel' of the different bolt-action rifle; I think it's the speed with which they fire from the time of the mouse click, not the bullet's speed. But it's so hard to be certain since the sound may not correspond to the shot, in the same way that the hitboxes aren't perfectly aligned with the player model.

Anyone notice how some players seem to be bullet magnets and you kill them with every shot you place in their general vacinity?

Yeah, that was me for the first couple of months of play!

If i kill a guy a couple of times with "risky" low percentage, deflection shots I get it in my head that i can make any shot on them i like...

Confidence is actually one of the keys to better play IMO. I used to think I would never be able to hit turret gunners in Vodniks, Humvees or tanks but do it once or twice and you realise it's doable and then you practice and get better. Now, at the beginning of Sharqi as USMC, about five times out of seven the MEC tank is one crewman down by the time he reaches the end of the street.

Hell maybee EA assign a Luck attribute to your profile when its created and this increases the % of a dust hit?

I swear to God that's what it feels like sometimes. After testing headshots I honestly don't believe that it's all related to lag, so assuming it's not built in I think there are more lost packets than we'd like to imagine.

yeah tried the sudden shot with no thoughts....

28-6=not so great; but then again chinese was all cornered to the base and the [M] commander had magnetic arties which went through the bunker roof killing me each time...

Some of you guys are lickety split with your aiming...been up against some snipers that pop up from a distance and...boom, headshot...I'm dead immediately.  My problem is I have a hard time aiming for the head...just doesn't seem natural for me.  I've gone through quite a bit of marksmanship training before, taught to go for center mass...bigger target and deadly.  Having a hard time remembering that during a game o.0

well usually when you do pop shots a headshot is the thing you'll get the most b/c you gun is probably at chest level when prone and when you pop up a split readjustment and you're set. sometimes its just luck. You have to remember where you enemy was and line him up when you're prone (yes that means you'll be seeing a wall and not him) when you go up (hopefully he hasn't moved) you shoot. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. But don't listen to me, i'm the guy complaning about this whole thing

You probably get more headshots than all of us here than.
