ok my trolling has finished. i realize that if this game is going to get any more players, we're all going to want the ones who play well, not badly. sorry AC!
please pardon me, yourconscript, trolling a newcomer is a custom often practiced on these forums...
on a serious note to the poster elaborating on GDM's advice: crouch is good but only under certain circumstances. Basically, crouch shooting provides better aim because it lessens recoil and the consequent player movement from shooting. There is no need to crouch while using shotgun, sniper, or carbine. If you use the assault rifle or submachine gun, a combination of both crouching and mashing the left and right buttons provides very effective evasive manuvers.
Pointers for beginners (if you wanna be good):
---DO NOT PLAY TWINTOWERS MAPS, try to play any map that has an "ac_" in front of it.
---Start off with shotgun. This may piss off other players in game and on these forums because it is an easy and "nooby" weapon but building confidence is key in this game. Becoming an effective shotgunner will create your foundation of skill. Once you master that weapon, you may move on.
---After shotgun, try assault rifle or submachine gun. The AR gives greater damage (good) but has more recoil (bad). The smg is very easy to handle (good) but only gives 15 hp damage per shot (bad).
---Again, once you have mastered a weapon, it is time to move on to the next. Carbine is a good choice but most go for sniper. When using the sniper rifle, hit the enemy once with the sniper, then scroll to pistol and shoot them twice, which will kill them. This is the fastest way to kill with a sniper rifle.
---When you start, don't play TOSOK/OSOK too much. And do not play "gemas". CTF is the fastest way to increase skill.
welcome to AC. im sorry we gave you a tough welcome. we'll take all the players we can get.
