Now that I've fixed all the trouble the new patched caused me, I can use my shotguns, and other hitscan weapons again, which means I can finally snipe. But I suck at head shots. I run the old models, if that has anything do to with it, but I just cannot hit anyone's heads. Can someone give me some tips. Oh ya, old models > new modles

old models are the only thing i CAN get headshots on...i dunno just aim at the throat i guess and keep the dot on them...if you track a shot slightly you ahve a much higher percantage of hits for some reason, even if its only for liek 2 feet

Yeah, with the new models, definitely aim slightly ABOVE the head, like you are tryin to nick the top of their head. Works like a charm, and you get luvverly exploding gibs everywhere!

The old soldier model is so much better than the new one... Aside from that... they are... cartoonish, sorta. Especially the spy one.

If i could manage just soldier old model and all the others new, i would for sure.

I try to aim for the top of the head, or just a hair above the head.

What video mode are you using? I use d3d, but when the horrible 1109 patch came out, I tried OpenGL to see if that would fix the sky, but while running OpenGL, I couldn't make a head shot for sh*t! Switched back to d3d and I could make head shots again.
