BF2S Forums How to overcome panic attacks in BF2

Um... just calm down a bit, not take it to seriously, if theres a near by bunker get behind it.(this will help you for you panic problem) then use your zoom to pick him off.

also thanks muncher for the ttips.

that's because they don't pay attention..

this should either be in BF2:Help or BF2:Chatter. I'll move it to help because you are actually asking for help.

Now, as far as your question is concerned, I am not sure if using the zoom modus ( be it ironsights or the laser pointer ) actually enhances shooting performance. Logic might suggest it should.
Personally I find it is always better to use the zoom modus, especially if there is some distance between you and the enemy. there is no use in doing so in Close Combat.

I also suggest to play around with different levels of mouse sensitivity. If you find yourself moving the mouse too fast while in CQC, lower it a bit and see if your performance gets better.

Also try not to move when facing a enemy ( possibly a bunny hopper ) in close quaters combat. Sounds weird, I know, but your aiming will improve considerably when standing still while you opponent is bouncing around and cannot hit shit ( that's what should be the case ).

this is of course not a good strategy when facing noob tubers or AT because if you stand still while shooting they will most likely kill you with their superior firepower.
Am I making sense..?

By the way, I think those are not real panic attacks. Does your brain lock up ? Heart beat goes beyond 180 ?
Are you suddenly unable to move hands and feet according to normal standards ?

My guess is you simply get a bit too excited and that is hindering your ability to shoot precisely.

Possible solution: Play more. Get used to it. Relax while playing.  And remember, it's just a game. No one really dies out there.

everytime i get in close combat, i panic and i get shot down first. i cant seem to control the mouse and aim. and even when its far away, my mouse goes all jiggity and i usually miss the target. he runs up, sees me, goes prone, and i usually fire at him, but he gets me before i can aim at him. i usually zoom in with my g36c, but should i just stay at the normal view so i can see him better? the iron crosshair blocks my vision somewhat and i miss him. but its more accurate. i dunno. any tips?

I give you one of my glamorous guides:

1) Don't drink coffee
2) Don't do speed, crack, or another stimulant before gaming
3) Realise that it is just a game; the bullets are not real
4) Adjust mouse sensitivity if you have a tendancy to freak out and scream "EUWUWUAUGH ILLKILLYOU"
5) Turn down your volume, as loud sounds make anyone jump
6) Fire in bursts, and learn when and where to use repetitious fire (aka, "single shot")
7) Don't do crack

I never could understand why people freak out so much in games.  Realise that it is indeed a game and you cannot be hurt by these virtual bullets.  Relax, spend some time getting used to the dynamics of the battlefield.

If you are of 'legal age' I would prescribe a large glass of Myers Dark and O.J.  You won't care if you die, then.

Like Greenie already said: Turn the volume to pretty low. I once dropped a grenade just right before me cause a teammate started to fire beside me and I got terrified... Result: Suicide and Teamdamage.

I usaully drop a grenade at my feet, go prone take out knife and watch the Guy run away. Sadly this dosn't work out for some reason.

I knew someone would notice that!

I've been known to cover my eyes when I hear artillery raining down. You also get a few blasts of adrenilyn every now and then when doing some serious Rambo shit. Makes it more of a thill, and makes you yell "FUCK!" to the whole iCafe if you die before you realise, "Shit, I'm not on my own here am I."
Only happned once I swear.

Yuck. Myers Dark is like the worst rum to make a screwdriver with, ever.

Bring your knife to a gun fight.
