WOW guys thanks, that helps alot. Especially the "Fast Firing" bit that would explain a hell of a lot. I will try out the JayMod servers and see how I go, Thank you again and hopefully see you out there

Hey all, I've recently come back to playing ET after several years and I'm enjoying it even if I do suck. Several things that come to mind first while playing on your beginners server. The first point would probably be, how come it's a beginners server when everyone on it is so dam good? Not really fair in my opinion, but hey ho I know that the other players are much better and more experienced with the game but how the hell can nearly everyone kill me in 1 shot. I mean i've shot people maybe 12 times (hearing the ping sound) and they still don't die, but everytime I run around a corner, BANG! dead. in one shot. How the hell can this happen? Even with a sniper it takes 2 shots to kill most of the time so how the hell does 1 shot kill me, and more importantly how the hell can EVERYONE be that good, lol. It's just frustrating really I want to play better but no matter what I try and however I go about it I can't seem to get the aim right. Any ideas or pointers? The recoil, or hit recoil i should say, how is it that I start firing at someone from distance, I hit them first before they even know i'm there, then they turn and fire and when they hit me i can't aim because my gun is bouncing up in the air. How the hell does this effect me but not the other person? I have tried to sort my config out, and i'm waiting for a custom one to be made for me here, I can play and most of the time i'm 1:1 ratio, which i know isn't that bad, but I would like to be able to get a couple of killing spree's etc under my belt hehe, anyway I guess I'll keep practising Thanks in advance for any pointers or tips you may have, and see ya out there [R1] MajorTom
