Soldat Aim tips

[Gortaak]

Mancers post really does help. So I reccomend that. As for barrett specfic, I have been using it a whole lot, espically in gathers, With all my names combined I am by far the number 1 rett killer on snag. My tricks are:

1.) Move slowly, the slower you move, the more time you have to react to someone rushing you. Also moving slower means you wont be blindy rushing into unfavorable situations for your gun.

2.) Take your time with you shots. I cannot stress that enough. The main reason people fail with the barrett, is cause they hurry up and try to kill the person as fast as they can, as soon as they see them. This is a big no-no. You will miss,  and if you miss, you are dead.  Instead, make sure you can hit the shot.

3.) Most people are either afraid, or will not rush a good barretter that has his route on lockdown, which means they will either wait for you to make the move, or try to make you miss your shot. That is where number 2 comes into play. Only fire when you KNOW you will hit.

4.) A good backup is a socom for situations where either, a.) you miss and the guy is coming, b.) you killed one guy, but he has a backup or c.) they are sprejing you with autos. But if you are good with the law, it will be a nice backup weapon.

Aiming wise:
1.) For the most part, put your aimer ON your target. Dont only try for head shots. The barrett kills in one hit wheter you hit thier pinky toe, or shoot them in the eye. Aim for the torso, its the easist to hit, and is insta kill.

2.) Stop moving when you fire the gun, if you are moving while tyring to shoot, you will most likely miss because of mov acc.

3.) Stay on the ground, in alternate routes with the barrett at first, as shots on the ground are alot easier to hit than ones in the air. Once you got the gun down decent, go for shots in air.

4.) Do not rush with it untill you got the aim down, but even when you rush, take your time with your shots.

5.) You have a scope, use it! Im not saying to camp, but when you are rushing/advancing, sit down for a sec and scope to see if anyone is coming, if they are shoot them.

6.) After everyshot, I like to do a backflip. Its become second nature for me, I suggest you doing the same. That backflip after you shot can mean the difference between you dying and living.

7.) Try to take out people that arent paying attention to you, and that go on other routes. If you kill them enough, they will get pissed at you and get distracted from their job, giving your top guys an easier time getting the flag.

8.) Try to rush with your team, they will provide a usefull distraction from the spray, allowing you to easily take out one or 2 of them, sometimes resulting in a cap.

I may not be the best rett, but, I know its damn good, and these are my tactics that I live by.  They have worked great for me for quite some time. Oh and also, to make things more fun, picture retting like playing duckhunt. Yeah!

Find a good sensitivity for yourself. Mine is low enough to be precise and I can still move it around the screen as fast as I need.

Find a good sensitivity for yourself.

best answer

[Dusty]

The best idea with the sensitivity is to find only one and stick to it. You'll feck up your aim by raping the sensitivity all the time.
And try to use most of the guns. In my opinion it's stupid to use only one gun and tell others that "you're practising" the gun you're using. If you can use AK, you can probably use every other auto too, at least somehow.
+ Do not use the sniper line. Once you'll get used to it, it will be a pain in the ass to stop using it. It's forbidden in the "official games"

6.) After everyshot, I like to do a backflip. Its become second nature for me, I suggest you doing the same. That backflip after you shot can mean the difference between you dying and living.

Don't do this. If you backflip, you gain height aka you make yourself an easier target. Just pure stupidness I gotta say.

[Nubism]

Yes,
use your mouse and skill.

Tutorials and tips won't give you anything, just practice.

tipps can help to get better skills...

tipps can help to get better skills...

No they don't. They're merely guides. Guides will not help you if you don't want to learn from it or if you don't want to practise/use those stuff in the guide.

Anyway, I already gave my advice, it's up to anyone to take it. Same for the others' advice.

Do do this. If you backflip, you will get out of the way of any shots heading towards you. It is imperative to maintain mobility when using any gun, no exceptions. Never take more than one or two shots from the same spot at a time.

You can dodge enemy's bullets(spray,DE's ,ruger etc) and when they start to reload just get close to them and shoot em down
 I sometimes luv dodging bullets
Pretty useful at ctf .
(yeah,i know ,nothing bout aiming )

[Duck Boi]

Also What Sensitivity are u using?  The Better u get with aiming the lower you should put it.

Wrong.
Lower sensitivity means you'd rather move your arm.
Higher sensitivity means you perfer moving your wrist.</offtopic>

LAW & Barret ricochets can be very useful in places. Use them to your advantage.

[jerich]

I think movement itself is more important than your barret and law aim. Once you get movement down, you can easily evade and make your across the map alot faster, making it easier to get advantages over the enemy. Advantage over the enemy = the easier shots. Easier shots = easier way to kill.  Also, I don't agree with using the scope. I hate the scope but if you choose to use that then go for it. Constantly move and everything will become easier and second nature even in the most chaotic situations.

And with duck-boi, I think that the wrist is better for your aim, high or low sensivity, just adapt to what you like.

Personally, I rest the left side of my palm(without pick it up at all) on the table using my wrist to move the mouse. My keyboard is closer to me while my mouse is closer to the monitor.

[LtKillroy]

Play a lot. Eventually you will notice the game isn't so crazy you can't keep track of the stuff going on. That is when you know your starting to make headway. I know its hard, but try to dodge individual bullets, it helps. Also, learn the backflip, its a must. Learn to aim while moving, you will die if you aren't pretty much constantly moving. Also, find a gamemode you like, and play it a lot. Different gamemodes help you learn different guns, keep in mind. So play them all, then I recommend you stick to the one that is the most fun becuase well, this is a game, have fun.

[chutem]

Practice makes perfect. Practice.

But make sure your having fun, don't try and get good just to be good, play to have fun.

Don't do this. If you backflip, you gain height aka you make yourself an easier target. Just pure stupidness I gotta say.

If you dont do that, and you have missed your shot, you are a nade target. Getting off the ground and running away after your miss, can buy you time to reload and hopefully nail the second shot. If you just sit there after you miss, you will get sprayed, rushed and naded. If you miss, you have to flee till you reload and bink settles down. Unless you wanna switch to socom and rush them right back.

What would you do after you missed? Stand there and get sprayed? Not getting away from you getting shot is "just pure stupidness".

It totally depends on the situation and the weapons you use.



For example, you are rushing with your DEs against an enemy with a M79 who is not that good with aim. You shoot, miss, then backflip. That's a must, otherwise the M79er can kill you in one shot. Though if he's an experienced M79er, you should find an alternative as he may aim slightly above you, knowing you may perform a backflip.

Or even better: Let' say that guy is a MP5-user. You hold either the DEs or a MP5 yourself. You turn your back facing the MP5-er, you backflip OVER him, and rain bullets at him. The MP5 is very poor against enemies in the air, and that worsens even more when you are DIRECTLY above him, while either of the two weapons you're using is actually pretty powerful in air vs ground situations. He's as good as dead.



But if you're talking about a Ruger-user, the backflip may only lead you to your death, because the Ruger is extremely good against enemies who are flying in the air above you. The backflip would only make you vulnerable to the Ruger and make it easier to aim and get hit. So a possible alternative is to dive towards him and shoot. Though that isn't a good idea against a very good Ruger-user, that is quite good for catching an average Ruger-user off guard. Now that you are so near him and you approached him at such high speed and in a way BELOW the ruger-user INSTEAD of above him, he cannot retaliate very well as he panicks. You can shoot him to his death or if you're good, you may also be able to punch him.



Generally, it is best to backflip, but be careful of what situation you are in.

[Gortaak]

Ok, for one, This tread is about how to use the barrett. And I never said to keep jetting into the air. I said to backflip. That will mess up his aim for a second, and give you time to get away. And most times in gathers or clan wars, if you use the barrett, you take the alt route, which provides plenty of cover.

[Costa]

Just practice, I always practice my aim with ruger 77

[I Rawk U Dont]

For me, I just played with each weapon individually for a while and got the feel to each one and it came naturally...
My aim is top of the line, not trying to brag, but I often get accused of hacking by newbz. Learn how far each weapon can shoot, the start up time, etc. etc.

You'll get better over time dude.

[Lt. Sprizz]

Yeha i practice a lot with the barret since it is almost always a one shot kill. one good way to practice shooting on the run is try and aim at the same target while you move your guy around. once you get that, you just have to anticipate an opposing player's moves and aim at the spot while running/flying whatever. its easy to get used to after awhile.

Backflipping is not the only opinion in these kind of situations.
