What makes a good fragger ?

[Puni]

Try an aim for upper body shots. Better accuracy. less chance of missing and each time you hit them you throw then off their aim. I've lost a lot of fights because I just aim for head. Good to aim for head...but...risky.

Indeed, my hs & acc stats are fine

(ill assume its about how to improve aim and not just be the highest fragger on server)

So...

If you have high stable fps, stable PING, a good enough mouse(no need hitech things), clear cfg good view of map objects..etc

is a good step forward no doubt.

 

After that u need i wont just say practice a lot but try to see what you are doing wrong during fights, once you get to that level it means you are starting to know exactly what you are doing. Because at first you are not specialy relax and tend to enter in some kind of loop during a 1vs1 which is that Random Left-Right movement  and i think that is a bad habit. most off the time you ll end up "killing yourself" without even knowing it

 

Also the way you play i mean how you move your mouse either with your wrist or your elbow must help you find your own sensitivity which should be the one you are comfortable with, so that when you are tracking an ennemy for me he should never be too fast for you to do it no matter how fast his movements are, dont go and pick som1 else sensitivity and then try to adapt your game accordingly!

 

But in my opinion the most important thing is your own movement! How you move according to the ennemys move, or how you move in order to be unpredictable for your ennemy. Some players are very aggressiv in their gameplay and always try to drive the fight with unpredictable and quick movements which is very effective cuz the game pace is very fast itself u endup takin huge damage before u try to recover. Other players are more deffensiv in their gameplay and try to counter the ennemys movmnt during 1vs1 and i am more that type off player myself, but it requires prediction a lot, i always try to 'go where the ennemy goes' and do a circular like mov arround that direction with the mouse slightly moving, and notice that they always tend to take the space arround so cover more the most spacious area in a way you are 100% sure that the moment they try to get there u take em down. And this applies more to close/medium fights.

 

Dont bother tryin to do as much movz as they do, some players just move too much when u first encounter them, just relax and a long strafe in either left or right side always helps me see what they are really doing so that i can read and counter them.

 

And for the xhair positionning to have more hs u usualy just need to put it slightly abov shoulder, but your mouse settings and mouse movements can make you loose that position during the game and it can be difficult to have the xhair in that position when you need it and u ll end up tryin to readjust it or just content yourself with whatever part you hit. But i think if your mouse goes up and down all the time on your mousepad you are pretty sure to be in that kind off situation. So what i do is try reduce that up/down mouse movmt as much as i can and then adjust my m_pitch so that i can move the xhair up and down easily with a lil hand gesture(i play with my wrist fixed and hand moving arround...). And what i do at beginnig of play is from distance try spot my standing and crouching teammates heads in a first time snap, when i do that and there is no name/rank that appears then i know i didnt spot the headbox there! i just readjust the mouse how i hold it and somtimes my stence and try again til i hav the result i want, and doing that lil check from a certain distance helps me even more during long range fights (but its just me, some poepl probly dont need all that).

 

And guys! These are not advices, i am probly not the best player or HSer arround but, i have improved a lot in a relatively short period just by following these tips. I am just sharing experience with those who may find it usefull ...

What makes good fragger? Shoot first, don't get shot(move) and aim properly. Know your surrounding, stay sharp and do right decisions based on information available. And do all of this quickly. How to achieve it? Play ET, a lot of ET and then some more. The more you focus on improving and not just running around and killing some time, the more and faster you will improve.

 

10 000 hours in and you can considered yourself experienced.

imho a good fragger is someone who is in the right place (knowledge of the game, experience), doing the right thing (same, but also ability to think fast), and doing it well (coordination and reaction time). With a bit of help from good hardware and good Internet.

 

I think coordination is very important (mouse control, I mean), in the past I have made 1on1 versus players who had faster reaction times than mine (we both tested in one of those online websites to test reaction times), and yet I had a higher accuracy and I won. It's useless to react quickly if you react with a wrong mouse move. That being said, if your reaction time is higher than 180-200ms in my opinion you can never be a good fragger. And you cannot improve your reaction time, it can only get worse as time passes.

 

Then coordination, I felt that many years ago when I was a bit into (noob) gamma jumping my aim had improved, because when you gammajump, especially if you don't do halfbeat (which has a smaller motion), you need to (both) be able to move really smoothly and slowly and switch really fast with precision to the other side, both things are similar to aiming.

 

In other words, you cannot improve your reaction time with practice (because it's just how fast your brain is), but you can improve your mouse control and knowledge of the game. The first thing I notice when I spec a good player is how smooth, fast and precise their mouse motions are if compared to mine.
