Being a good player

[SrPER$IAN]

Your post reminded me an article I wrote like 2-3 years ago in |TaS forums. The clan is dead but luckily I found it for you. Hope it will help you :
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The 3rd step is about Assault Rifle(AR).This unpopular weapon that got so much powered when new version released(ver:1.1),that forced most players to change all their previous weapons to this AR.

In my opinion you can classify both SMG and AR into one group as with both of them alll you got to do is,Holding down you L-click and just Spraying you enemies.But the main feature that makes the difference between AR and SMG is: "Recoil".Some players might find it a negavtive feature in AR but if you use this Recoil in its right way ,you will find AR almost the most powerfull weapon in "version 1.1".Anyway these are some tips that might help you to improve you AR skill:


1 . Go to Setting/Gameplay setting and set the Player Skin to Full Color.[increase you accuracy by concentrating in just one colored enemy skin.]


2 . Go to Setting/Mouse Setting and change your CrossHair to Red_Dot ,AND set it's size to 10.[this tips gives you more accuracy specially for far aims by focusingthe most little spot for crosshair as much as possible]
Now it's time to get back to the game


3 . "Hold your Aim Down"[/b] -this is the first thing you need to learn when you take an AR in your hands.Somewhere around you enemy waist(or alil down) is always a good place to start shooting your enemy.Plus that never does mean that you need to just look at the ground when moving(you looser!).

4 . "Adjust your aim" -yeah this is the BASIC rule you need to learn with ALL weapons.The one who is faster in shooting can kill faster,so ALWAYS try to fix your Crosshair on the Gates where you anticipate your enemy might show up from there.
here are some examples:





Forget about to face down to the ground when you want to take a HP or AMMObox,that's a big mistake,INSTEAD try to learn maps well! in order to find all Pick ups with closed eyes;)


5 . "The one who Clicks faster will survive"- it makes sense, If you wanna kill before getting killer you need to shoot faster, So always be ready with you Finger to shoot!Here is a flash game that tell you how fast you can be(good train to understand this tip):

Note : Do not hesitate to start shooting before you even make the turn, or even before you see your enemy(just try to listen to your enemy footsteps and aniticipate where he is). But beware, this tactic requires experience and is rather risky if not done correctly, because you can spend too much candy or even do a reload at the wrong time.


6 . We go to practice now. Here we have two basic rules that must be trained ,You need to practice both of them alot inorder to feel it intuitivly which method you need to choose in order to kill your enemy:

A - Always Shoot your enemy by moving sideways, by pressing "a" and "d" on your keyboard rapidly,trying to Hold you aim on your enemy body at the same time. This not only makes you dodge the enemy bullets, but will give you stability in sight.

B - Hold your crosshair on your enemy body(somewhere under his waist at the center is a good point) press the "s" + Space(jump!) at the same time, trying to keep the crosshairs on your enemy. With this, you will stabilize the crosshairs on it and make its difficult for him to hit, since it moves away quickly backwards, flying, back . Notice that here you will be using the AR recoil in his favor. I found this Method more useful than the first one ,try to train it alot so the time when you learn how to crosshair on the enemy with as much accuracy,YOU will turn into a BEAST with your AR!


7 . "The firstshot Rule" - the first shot rule says if your first shot hits your enemy(at the right place=>at the center of your enemy's waist),the rest of your shotting will hit your enemy.Try to remind this rule always and don'nt try to use your mouse shaking when you shoot,instead try to fix your aim on your enemy by pressing "A" and "D".

8 . "Stop shooting without hitsound!"-Never do this mistake,by spraying your enemy with your rifle and no hit.If you see your 2-3 bullets in row don't hit your enemy,Stop shooting ,try to aim on your enemy again and start shooting.This process must be done in a sec before you are dead.:)

9 . "AR-Pistol Combo"-you hav no idea how many times I have saved my ass by turning into Pistol after I was out of bullet and my enemy was stll alive.(right now go to your setting and turn off that Autoreload stuff)and try to get used to changing your pistol after your out of ammo instead of reloading it at once.

Note:Set your accuracy box on by "/accuracy 1" .According to my exprience in a Regular match in clanmatches or public servers:
10-20 %(mediocre)
20-30% (Good)
30%-40%(Excellent)
40~60%(Whoreeee!)
more than 60%=>Most Probably a Cheater

Always consider that ALL the above are only some tips. Increasing your level is just the result of increasing your training. Load the AC and start it now,gl.
