Ok, so much for that. Loki owned me last night, multiple times.. I need more practice with the new settings, and also it was like 1am for me last night, literally my eyes were closing during game play...

Don't become too reliant on your sensitivity, otherwise you will only be artificially improving your spraying. BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING DISABLE WINDOWS ACCELERATION! Windows accel does not make your mouse movement consistent with the distance you move your mouse on the pad, but instead responds to the speed that you move your mouse. This leads to inconsistent aim control because Windows accel is evil!
I was giving 1nsane some advice on sensitivity, and there is one key to all of it. When your aiming you want to feel that you have complete control over where your crosshair is going and your aiming should look very calm and smooth. A lower sensitivity will allow you to avoid overaiming or difficulty to hold your crosshair centered while strafing. One way to test this is to strafe normally while aiming your crosshair at a stationary object. Keep lowering your sensitivity until strafing doesn't seem to be affecting your ability to aim. If you feel that your sensitivity is too low too suddenly to achieve this, just lower your sensitivity by 3-5 in game each week. Your actual sensitivity depends on your mouse dpi (800 is standard), which you can find in your mouse software panel (or google your mouse dpi). If your mouse has dpi settings, try 800 or google dpi calibration which can help you set your mouse to best fit your monitor resolution (if your a try hard settings nerd ofc). Another thing to think about is if you play with your wrist or arm, ie do you move your mouse with your wrist or whole arm? If you move your mouse with your arm then your going to be able to handle very low sensitivity. If you play with your wrist like me, try 800dpi and 10-14 in-game sens. ETQW is best at lower sensitivity, but there are plenty of people who use fairly high ones, especially if your multi-gaming. I used to use possibly the lowest sensitivity ever in ETQW 4-5 years back, but from playing other more reflex-based games I now use a much higher sensitivity. You might find that a lot of people in ETQW only do low-sens headlining and thus suck at most other games because they aren't really aiming. This is why I recommend you don't mess with your mpitch too much if someone suggests it. The overall method of improvement is purely practice, as it is still all about your ability to move your mouse properly, but with these settings you will at least be able to improve much faster. There's all that muscle memory stuff too, which once that kicks in will make your aiming experiences pretty consistent in all games once you become used to a specific sensitivity and allow you to aim much faster. Anyone who does try out this suggested method above though ^ should eventually be able to figure out how easy the ETQW sniper rifle actually is... maybe even senel and garbage... maybe .
Also here's a random video dump of a few demos from FTML scrims/pub (since only one of our opponents actually showed up to a match). I'll prob be uninstalling again once GW2 is officially out, but I have hope that you guys will be an omfgub3rl33thax clan next time I check in !

W00T, thanks for the tips!! My mouse DPI was set to 1800 in Windows just now, LOL, will disable HW accel using DX SDK as I just read, and also will practice, thanks again!!

Not sure yet. You can probably count me out of any matches for a while unless I happen to have some free time.

Ok, well suffice it to say, CS4S got 0WN3D last night!
Teams:
G4RB4G3 Mr_Shifty BankOnIt cylo83*
vs.
1nsane -Chill- Richard33 ???DeadGame???
It's a GOOD thing it was just a scrim, because some people were missing, and so we had a few subs. Poor Pittsy, was just too sick to play, so he just spec'd, but I'm not sure if he did any recordings or commentary. He just mostly played back seat driver to the pwning of his teammates!
I would say the biggest reason CS4S lost was they were too aggressive (should have laid lower and hid more) and also they CAN'T SHOOT FOR SHIT!! They need to mess with their sensitivity, I think mine is improved, but I still need a lot of practice myself, as Bank and Shifty for sure were the impact players on our team..
4v4 is all about STAYING ALIVE... That's the only tip I can offer, mouhahahahhh!!
So when we playing FOR REAL guys? CrYpT vs. CS4S... Sunday? Saturday?? Another scrim maybe Wed or Thurs? Open to anyone even just to play some 4v4 and get in some practice.. ???

Lmao, talking shit.we had 2 new guys that never played pro, so it is what it is.yes the scrim helps out alot.I like playing pro mode.I messed with my config file maybe too much, but I feel this will make my aim alot better.I never have tweaked the etqw config before all on default.getting old and lazy, as back in the day playing quake 3 I tweaked the shit out of my config file.sad thong is this game is getting old, but fun still.

We concluded the 2nd season of FTML with a record of 3-2. What a great experience and helped significantly improve many of our participants skills. I will be entering a new team for Season 3 of the FTML and hope many of you will choose to participate. Special thanks to Shifty, Breakaway, Garbage, Bankonit and the ever elusive Jet.Li! Great fun was had by all!

I watched both, its nice to see how much of a noob I am lol. Thank god for Alphabeta picking me up and Shifty and Garbage doing some magic! I had a really good laugh Garbage when you were (but not really) constructing the laser and liquidpain is like "whats he doing?" and then he says "Garbarge is not happy right now" lol, good times. I'm glad they took the time to record and do a little play by play action, that was nice of them.
