Hello. It may seem like a very stupid and idiotic question, but besides cheating, is practice the only way to improve your aiming in Renegade (and any other FPS)? I have a lot of trouble pulling off headshots...or hitting any part of another player for that matter...

He's saying he doesn't want to cheat.

I'll give you some advice. Join a DM game or a Sniper game and play a lot.

That's what got my accuracy to a pinpoint.

Play the Single Player on easy settings. You will learn how to aim. Then go to Multiplayer Practice and buy a sniper character and learn while shooting the bots.

I made a map with bots and ran around with a sniper.

I never stood still, I made sure I was constantly moving, and I counted how many head shots I could make in a row.

Eventually I got pretty good at it. Very Happy

Renz0r's DM server is the best DM server going today. If you want to increase your accuracy, play it for a few hours.

I remember when I started there, I only got about 10 kills per game (compared to 25-30 deaths). But I kept at it, and became one of the top ranking players, getting 30-40 kills per game.

A good tip is, for everyone too, don't aim where the player is, aim where they will be. You can clearly see the path of your bullets while shooting particular guns, and it takes time for bullets to reach their target, so aim ahead of them, they will run into your bullets for you. ^_^

People are better than bots, most of the time they jump, which makes head shots much much harder. Go in a good sniper sever, and see how the good players play. Try copying them, eventually you might get it.

One thing that helps with aim is to strafe parallel to the enemy. Basically, if they're moving one way, move sideways in the same direction as them, keeping up with them. It's easier to hold the targeting reticle on them if you do this. Also, try to keep on the same plane as the enemy wherever possible, so that you only have left and right to worry about when aiming.

It's the same principle as it being easier to hit someone when you're standing still, lol. Except obviously you can't just stand still, because you'll be an easy target for anyone. But if they move in one direction and you're going at the same speed parallel to them, it's like neither of you are moving and you can just concentrate on keeping your reticle just in front of their head. Obviously good players will move from side to side, rather than in one direction all the time, but then you can learn to react quickly to the change and follow them back in the other direction.

The disadvantage to this is that by following their movements, you're making it just as easy for them to hit you, as it is for you to hit them. But strafing parallel to the opponent is a good start if you have bad aim.

Did you try using 3rd person view (press 'f')? It helps some people Smile.

Other than that: practise, practise, practise. And always aim for the head: 5 x more damage than aiming for the body Smile.

From the Turok video game series: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turok:_Dinosaur_Hunter

All my computers get named turok (turok, turok2, turok3, turok4, turok5). So every time I get a new computer I just name it turok then whatever number it is.

Old tradition of mine but there you go.
