Just wondering if anyone would like some advice as to how to shoot with certain weapons so you can pull for accurate BS shots. Just wanting to help everyone out PS. some might know this but many will not.

I'll start it off, nice to see you on the forums xed
ummm mac 10 is the only one i struggle with and m3. basically i know with all smgs you do burts shots of about 3 - 5 rounds at the head so it hits the head, but mac 10 never ever sticks for me.
m3 i usually just jump up and down and shoot. but never wokrs either

Just pull the trigger until they die, or you need more ammo, then reload, and repeat

I've found that I can run, shoot and get headshots but if I stand still then I shoot like a blind person.
Spray +1, unfortunately. Any advice will be appreciated Xed. Welcome to the forums btw.

Alright first off M3, M3 yeah a lot of people jump and down, I do myself but they just aim and shoot, can work. But the way the hit boxes move in CS there is a bit of a delay so normally what I do to get the hotboxes on their delay would be a snap shot to the head really quick, this eliminates the chances of the M3 missing the hotboxes despite the burst of shots (Quite simple I know but it does help). Another thing to take into consideration is the way hit boxes moves, as they run forward the hit boxes will be in front of them, hence why I can pull off BS shots from behind walls sometimes etc.
Not the best quality but here is a typical hit box scenario
Now as for Mac10, they can be quite a pain, but I prefer to switch it up. Bursts do work but sometimes people do to long of bursts eg. 4 bullets etc. What they need to do is try and aim for the odd number of 3, or even semi auto and try and boink them from a distance, that can generally work but once again not always the best for people with crap aim .

Ty. I've always been around just never bothered to post etc. haha slack I know. Umm as for your problem quite common, spraying up close is quite easy to get kills, but as for standing still and shooting is a big no no, I occasionally do it and get annoyed with myself, its always best to get some sort of motion happening even if its running sideways then spot someone quickly crouch and shoot, or run sideways stop for a split second and shoot then move the opposite direction, funnily enough this does increase accuracy, standing still can be good but its mainly for pre-fire shots like you have probably seen me do, listening to people and timing them perfectly so my bullet nom nom nom's on their head. Running and shooting tho is another big no no, You CAN get lucky and get kills but it'd be the same as a long distance jump scout no scope headshot So just go onto an aim map, and practice moving left and right doing short bursts and judging , depending on the gun. I found the fastest and easiest way to build up accuracy and shooting skills was way back when I ustoo play CPL for Canada, and we would always go onto aim_ak_colt I believe it was called that at the time, and just play for hours. It will improve your aim.
If you want I could make DOA an aim map (A basic one obviously) and we can have DOA only meets and practice shooting. Even if it were groups of 4 vs 4 and then another 4 vs 4 then who ever wins out of those 2 battles plays each other, or even teams of two.

I could go quite in-depth about everything, but I can only guide you the right direction, from there it is what you find helps your aiming style. I use to be insanely good at CSS now I am absolutely horrible... I could go on servers and get a team down with ease with about 20 players on the other team but now I struggle to get about 9 because of my inconsistency in game play. Taking months off etc. but I am playing a lot again to try and work up again so I can go into Cevo with my brother who also played for team n3x. subbed for team 3d etc.

After watching the hit box video you can probably see my technique of dodging since I know the delay in which the hit boxes shift from one side to the other etc. when strafing running backwards and all that. Hence why my dodge hacks are almost always on
Hope these help, feel free to post more questions

That vid was interesting to watch, explains why some shots don't register, especially shots with the scout. I'd sit & crouch on scout, aim for the head, shoot and either miss totally or only clip an ear or something. When I'm on scout, I'd rather just wait for a second (instead of rushing asap) and then run in with a knife.

This would be awesome. Can we organize something like this?

For sure, it will be very basic, what I can do if you want I could make it multi maps, so at the start you choose the stage you want from there we get teleported to it, another option would be just to make some basic ones and from there make them a bit more advanced.

fyi we do have stuff like this on the war server atm. we have a script which is called awp scout. it basically goes from awp to scout and then pistols for prac. but the map sounds good as

Alrighty, well. I'll do the very basic aim maps to start, simple straight forward then other aim maps with the old school feel about it, each one will be for specific weapons. I will start off with the AK / Colt one, then I'll do pistols, from there awp / scout and then last one being SMG's.
How is everyone when it comes to nades? (Eg, throwing styles, deflections, rebounds, momentum, chucks / throws etc.)

I like the nades where you bounce it off the ground, hits some fuck in the head and BAM.
