Glad to see someone came to his senses.

Well, until I can beat the bots, which I can't, I'm not playing CS anymore. The hit detection is way off, and the only way anyone can hit anything, IMO, is to cheat. Yes, I'm calling the better CS players cheats.

Sue me.

All those bots that are better than you, are they cheating too?

For some odd reason, I am reminded of this.

well, from what i understand (cant really say from first hand experience) you shouldnt spray so much as try to take precise single shots. mabey thats your problem bj?

taken from another CS:S forum:

Grr... can't anyone ever play this game without cheating?

it's also ridiculous that I could be standing RIGHT NEXT TO SOMEONE and unload an entire clip into their eyeball and not register a single hit... when one shot from their ak when they're like half the level away from me and it's an automatic headshot.
I do that to people, I have played long enough to predict their clip usage, and I have been point blank against an AK and stab killed them. Spraying = 0 accuracy.

Okay, let me see if I can get a few things straightened out here...

I've gotten to the point that I don't hold the trigger down unless I'm close enough to the other player to be able to tell what he had for dinner. I fire in short 2-4 round bursts when they're not right next to me. I am connecting for damage, but I've got it in my head that if I aim for the head, I'm going to miss. I don't know how I got myself wired like that, but I think it has to do with speed. I can get quicker body hits than head hits. By the time I get a headshot lined up, I'm dead. My framerate may be what's holding me back, or it's my reaction time, one of the two. If it's a combination of the two, then FPS's aren't for me anymore. I'd like to think I have a decent reaction time, and I know my framerate blows, but I can't get a new vid card just yet, unless someone wants to donate something better than an FX5600, which I thought was a good card.

Something that other players don't get is that you can prepare, at least mentally, to play an FPS. I've done it before, not knowing it until I started playing. I brought this up while playing CS a couple days ago, and everyone thought I was crazy. Well, it's like anything else that requires concentration and fast reflexes. You have to be mentally ready for it. I'm sure I'm not the only one that does something before they play that sharpens them up a little bit, at least.

I'll bet everyone's thinking I'm like Jekyll and Hyde with these posts. Completely irrational and emotional one minute, and calmer, more sane the next. It's amazing what sleep can do for you, even if it takes an hour to fall asleep. Must consider use of drugs to knock myself out faster.

I'm going to try something the next time I play ET. If it works, I'll see it immediately. If not, I'll go back and try again. I'll let everyone know if it works or not. If things go well, I'll let you know what I did.

Actually, two things make me play better: Lack of sleep, and Reese's mmmmmmmm......

Somehow insomnia make me able to singly and intently focus my attention on the action at hand...

Whereas Reese's are yummy, and I usually have a pile of them next to my keyboard and...umm...

Lack of sleep helps me too. My scores when I don't get much sleep the night before, or when I stay up late are always better.

I don't 'prepare' to play CS though. I just hop on whenever, and in a couple of minutes, I'm in the groove again.

This is a typical example where the right thing is what is right for YOU! If it works it 's fine! 8) Atheletes do this a LOT! Look at the top Track & Fields atheletes before a race or jump or throw. They go through the same ritual every single time, often without knowing it.

Stefan Holm adjusting his shirt over the shoulders.
Kajsa Bergqvist slapping her tighs.
Maurice Green walking back and forth like a tiger in a cage...

It's not WHAT they do but what prepare them mentally for the task at hand. Blackjack is on the right track here, the question is if you need it for a game!

But I'm sure those who play professionaly in tournaments do stuff like that. Anything that can give them the edge and a split second's advantage. 1/100 better reaction can mean victory instead of defeat.

I'm not playing on this level so it doesn't matter what I do. For me it's more about being at the right place at the right time, doing the right thing. ET is about objectives and you don't need super reflexes to plant a bomb!

Hmm...
Can't really thing of anything I do before a good round as opposed to a bad one...aside from trying to get comfortable in my chair, that's about it. Having a set of headphones that suck isn't helping, I need a good headset to play and communicate with everyone. Plantronics better get me another .A90 real soon... (taptaptaptaptaptaptaptap)

There's a magic plant that makes me better at video games...! Things seem to move slower and i play alot smarter. I'm much more creative when trying to be elusive too. I like chewing while i play too(when i have no magic plants). Warming up before you play is a good idea too.
