This is my 1337 post. #Beer

Anyway I desided to let you in on a little of my bowl of knowlage.

Sniping made easy
Ever want to get those darn HSs so much easier?
Well all you have to know is, the head isn't nessasarly where you think it is. (sounds odd) But where you think the model ends, the 'hitzone' continues.

Example:


The red cube represents the hit zone.
Notice how it is much farther above the head then you think?
Also, this area does the most damaging head shot.
This works with all models. Try it out and have fun sniping

Bj.

I have noticed before that hitting what looks like just above the head will get you a headshot kill, while shooting lower down in the face doesn't.
I need more practice

on old models (what i use) you still have to aim slightly above, part of the dot should be on the skull though.


BTW-nicely drawn cube

i still play with the old models and you also need to shoot just above the head to get the most damage.

My problems are worse.

Often times I have to shoot the chest to get a hs. It seems that most of my shots rise. Giz made me a special crosshair to account for this, but I could never get the crosshair to show up.

Also, because of lag and refresh rate, I have to shoot to the back side of the player, depending on which way he/she is moving.

A good example might be: Regular players are fond of jumping, to try and throw off a snipers aim. I can shoot at what appears to be a players legs - while they are in the air - and get a hs.

Or: While a player is moving across the screen - to my right - I have to shoot at their left shoulder to get a good hit. Often times, I release the shot just as the nme's model body moves out of my dot, and I get a solid hit.
