Good Aim on FPS

Quake 3 aiming > TF2 aiming

Agree.
If you've ever played rail only on say instagib servers, you will also notice its not just about 'aiming' to get good aim.
When those milliseconds count, you have to take everything into account including ping, fps, mouse response, and a whole bunch of cvars.
You will find that most people with really good aim, have tweaked the shit out of the game, although there are exceptions that just have a natural ability for accuracy.
also in regard to the hitbox, heres a vid i found, not sure how up to date it is but it gives you an idea..

you have good taste in music, Maddo

also, that video is pretty damn useful.

Agree.
hitbox vid.

If you play on servers with 15 or less ping it is often an idea to enter "sv_lan 1" in the console which will optimise your network settings and turn things like cl_lagcompenstation off.

With regards to aim, when you first play a new game change your sensitivity so you can only turn 360 or 180 degrees in one quick motion depending whether the game requires more moveability or aim.

UT3 instagib game modes.
Two types of people in those servers.
Dead eyes, and dead guys.

This is why you need tweaking on instagib, and also why its a closed shop really, 95% of all new players just scream "you hacker"

On dm17, i used to hit 50 kills in under 2 minutes....

Holy crap, I knew there were discrepancies but that was just obscene on some cases.

Thank you very much for that video!
