CS Aiming tips Part 1

Posted by Dev at 23:32 9/11/2002.

In a day of little news, I was browsing over a few sites and found this "guide" to aiming by DiGiTracker from SoGamed. The full guide will be written in instalments and the first can be found here. To give you a taste, here is the introduction:

I will first discuss the purpose of this guide. The purpose of this guide is to give people tips which will make them aim better in CS. I present my vision on how you should aim in CS and support it with facts and reason. I will first discuss the mouse configuration. Things like sensitivity, mouse acceleration, m_filter and windows sensitivity will pass by. Then I will discuss aiming techiques, together with why I think these are the best ones. And after discussing these techniques, I'll try to explain how you should burst and spray. I hope this guide will be helpful and if it isn't helpful: I wasted more time on it than you :)

What are you waiting for? Give it a read.

	Ripper Rush! 00:03 10/11/2002	Thats s***, not saying i could do better but he's basically told us about his preffered sensitivty. I think its a stupid topic to try and cover with any sort of depth because at the end of the day it IS what the person prefers. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Kronikal Anti-Climax 00:06 10/11/2002	Good ol' "CS is boring, and I want nothing to do with it for aslong as I live on this world" DiGi, at it again :D [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Weebull 00:09 10/11/2002	Most people say, that you should pick the sensitivity that is best for you. This might go for Quake 3, but in my opinion it certainly doesn't go for CS. As soon as I read that, I was inclined to agree with you Ripper. :o Don't use the sensitivty, you're comfortable, USE MY 0.12312324556732135 SENS or else [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	t0m 00:09 10/11/2002	lower sense is better :P [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Kronikal Anti-Climax 00:13 10/11/2002	Depends what Windows sens you have surely ? As I use 2.65 on my PC, with an Optical and Ratpad, and 1.2 on my other PC with Boomslang and Icemat (Although, I s'pose you can just mess about with your sens with the boomslang) ... well nm [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	shads theb0g 00:42 10/11/2002	i actually just bothered reading it and think he's talking a load of bollucks but there we go, still, anything should be able to help paul surely. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Huckan Boys From The Dwarf 05:18 10/11/2002	Hmmmmmmmmm, was ok, some of what he said made sense but at the end of the day playing like someone else won't improve you, just work on what your good at. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	RUDEBOY 09:43 10/11/2002	Figured all that stuff out for maself ages ago, I agree with what he says. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Headshot^Man` Disturbed 09:51 10/11/2002	everyone has there own little ways that help them aim, his feature is just the basic stuff [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	j0nb0y 10:08 10/11/2002	At least give him credit for putting the time into writing the article. I agree with him a low sensitivity (1-2 assuming default in Windows) is the only way to go but I suspect most people who read the article already know that. Trouble is it's an article meant for newbies on a site read by veterans. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	K 10:41 10/11/2002	I think people could do just as good with higher sens as long as they use a higher friction mousepad, like a clothpad. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	ryano theb0g 11:29 10/11/2002	The actual problem with what he is saying is puneet. Check out puneets aim ask him for a demo or something. He uses 9 sensitivity or something. He is sucha lazy b****** he only moves one centimeter to left or right but his aim is dead on. I also want his babies [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Loxam Lite 12:10 10/11/2002	More to the topic XP: Do you use the command line method to fix the accel. The regedit method to fix it? Or do you just use the mouse accel? If he could answer those questions I would of been more impressed, seems high/low sens is an old argument. I use low sens. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	SuperNick 19:21 10/11/2002	on a more personal note, sensitivity is whatever you prefer. if 21 is good for you, use it. as a former q2/q3 player coming to cs, I can i'm used to high sens.. although it's gone down now to 4, i used to use 6 for cs.. and some even say 4 is really high. :) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

He's not very good at CS so why post a how to aim guide on sogamed where the majority of readers are actually probably better than him. Maybe he should it to csnation next to the tmp and shotgun guides? You cant tell people an optimum way to setup their mouse every mouse mouse pad o/s makes a difference, plus every1 has their own preferences. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
