better connection and pc->worser aim |
|
I had a laggy connection and a bad pc in my holidays, I could aim well with the 357. but now its way too smooth and not laggy and I have a very hard time to hit with the 357. shots which would have had been easy in the holidays seem impossible now. for example I could easily get someone in the air who had used the lifts but now it just doesn´t want to work. why is this so? I had taken my mouse to the holidays too so thats not the problem.

nope breen you are wrong.
Thank you Lawitz for posting this. Whenever i used to tell people this they used to tell me I was nuts. Why do you think all of the Super uber players in this game have the crappiest computers and connections? Let's face it some players have Unfair Advantages .. I am tired of people pretending or acting like it doesn't exist.
This is a perfect example of why you should only play for fun ..

there i was playing without the driver so I had 1600dpi, low mouse acceleration and sens. 3.0 on a 1024x768 res.
here I play with 2000dpi, no mouse acceleration and sens. 3.0 and on a 1680x1050 res.
does this really do so much difference?
thats a good point meekle. also having invisible lag can make the hitboxes be out of sync with the player model, I saw it on some people. you could only hurt them with explosions, 357 was almost impossible. I dont think the players who I saw it on did it on purpose but it showed that it is possible.

IMO resolution and mouse sensitivity make a huge difference.
Despite upgrading to a weighty PC recently, I still use my old settings of 1024 X 768 and painstakingly ensured my mouse sensitivity remained unchanged - anything else completely buggers me. Hell I even run DX8 but thats another issue.
I also think that when upgrading its more about you lose fps slowdown/lag/whatever and have to adjust your aim accordingly, a few players I know have found this - been awful at first but they quickly re-adjusted.
I just think you get used to compensating without really noticing and then the upgrade changes the way DM runs enough to throw you out for a bit.

I have to agree with Phenabana (do do doodoo).
I recently got a new PC and it's taking me a long time to adjust. But I'm getting there and in some respects my game play has improved, in others it hasn't. (I'm talking about minesweeper of course)

Totaly agree.
Some good players pretend have very low fps and they are very good.
I have try test with new settings : fps_max with a value under 30 and .... u can't -> considerate as cheating..........
See also a thing : who are the best with mag and HS? players with ping > 80 or with very low connection.
Player with low ping and good connection are better with xbow and ggun (in particular catching object...).
Your skill in that game depends sometimes of your configuration. I'm sure of that.

Seems I was the only who got better after I got a new pc .
Although to be fair the old one couldnt handle more than 4 players on the screen at once, and as far as playing outside maps went

same here, when i upgraded it took me a while to get used to the smoother frame rate, then i upgraded my mouse and it took me along time, alot of trial and error coupled with alot of frustration till i got the right configuration.
Now it's much better.
but i totally agree with how minute differences in lag affect how you approach the game and what weapons to use. I think it's nice as it makes for a fresh look on weapons usage every server you play in.
p.s. I really dont like players who whine how people with a ping between 100 - 200 ruin the game. Can we shoot them?

Can we shoot people with 200 lag? Probably not, but they probably can't shoot you either.

getting used to miceand keyboards, or even a mousepad takes alot more time than the framerate or any other config itself
i can say ill be up and running 1 week after i get my stuff
then.. its only a matter of getting better

my aim got better again, but I still cant hit people in the air. I couldnt do it earlier with this connection either, just with the bad connection in the holidays

Lawitz, for .357 try aiming just behind the player in case the hitboxes are 'lagging'.
