just think about it: the picture is stretched, so the amount your xhair moves is stretched too, but only along one axis. the sensitivity is the same, it just appears to move farther.

your display settings have no effect on the actual sensitivity you use.

people have made m-yaw or w/e sensitivity setting guides for changing it to seem 'normal', but all that does is lowers your horizontal sens, which i wouldn't recommend. i don't recommend using 4:3 at all, unless you started playing cs on 4:3 and it seems normal. doing it just because pros do it isn't a good reason.


aren't you a euro goon? i have no idea who anybody is in this thread anymore

What's with all these people getting placed at reasonable ranks lately? Did you guys play other competetive FPSs before this? I got dumped straight into Silver II 7-ish months ago with my only prior experience being maybe 100 hours of 1.6 8-10 years ago and playing a couple dozen FPS games on normal.

I don't really play FPS games, Borderlands is about it. I played CS vanilla religiously back in high school. That was the game to play for any male, and in an all boy school there wasn't much else to discuss other than CS.

For me it was lowering my mouse sensitivity, figuring out recoil patterns and not holding down the fire button. Also I played every map twice before doing competitive, so I could learn the maps somewhat. But yet there are more maps I have not seen; played 4 games in my 10 games of maps I had never seen.

A good video about head placement when holding angles. Apparently there's a console command exploiting event masks that lets you see your head positioning while in first person, which is pretty drat neat

Much like buttholes, families are meant to be tight.
Basically you have left angle advantage when crouching because of this and right angle advantage when standing because of the right eye advantage. Use those wisely

Sally Forth me if I'm wrong but this seems a lot more useful than it really is. Why am I crouched while peeking a corner? I don't even think the guys head is protected in those examples and if I saw someone doing that I'd shoot them in the face through the corner and expect it to kill them.

Well for one, depending on the corner and depending on the weapon, having a solid object in front of your head could save you from that 1 shot hs and give you the quarter of a second advantage you need to win the firefight. Also hiding the maximum amount of your model regardless of crouching or not is pretty much always an advantage

Right but crouch peeking, and especially crouch peeking close to a corner, work against you 100x more than that advantage.

yeah but you can get some pretty wicked damage nerfing with that over-penetration penalty. 3 AK-hs are a lot harder than 1.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

You're pretty much bang on imo, this is kinda cool but mostly irrelevant. It's pretty unusual to even buy a galil, let alone micromanage some perfect crawl peeks. You can still get hs through the corners of the walls for about 40-50 damage, so it isn't like you're invincible. I might give it a whirl if I buy a galil and rush short or something, but this is definitely in the once in a blue moon category to pull from the stratbook.

It's also really common for AWPs to hold all of those angles in long and mid. Seems like it's something nice to keep in mind but that's about it.

I think the guy misrepresents the use in the video, as it would be great not for peeking, but holding angles and corners, idk why he focused so heavily on the galil in his demo. Using the trick to M4A1 or AWP, esp. at long distance could be incredibly useful.

I warmed up by playing a bunch of retakes today instead of just DM and then top-fragged by quite a bit in both my MM games afterward. Retakes isn't as good as the real deal but I'm gonna keep playing that instead of deathmatch when I want to drop in, at least it's a somewhat high pressure situation and more closely resembles real game scenarios.

Sometimes you need to step away from the game to give your brain some time to process everything and you can comeback and see the improvement.

honestly i think im making my aim worse by using the P90 almost exclusively in MM lately. Im only a gold nova 2 so I can wreck poo poo but when i try to use the AK or M4 now I cant headshot. its agrravating

Use any non-pistol weapon that's not in the AK/M4/AWP trifecta and do well with it for the exact same results.
