Necessary Skills - Guide (Duh)

Skills you should have before attempting to get into competetive CF.

- Be able to spot which type of nade(s) is/are flying towards you from 30m

- Be able to remember which player on the other team has which gun.

- Be able to hear EVERYTHING, and be able to distinguish it.. This inculdes, but is not limited to:

Footsteps
Gun Switching
Gun Dropping
Gun Grabbing
Jumping
Nade pin pulling

- Be able to kill with a deagle

- Be able to make in-depth calls

- Be able to remember information from other in-depth calls, e.g. how many people are running long A, who they are, what guns they're using, how much HP each of them has, etc.

- Be able to logically conclude the location of people using logic (redundancy ftw). If you do it right, it looks like you wallhack.

- Be able to play multiple positions.

    Yeah... If only noobs hackusators could read your post, my gaming time would be better. I can hear people from very far (for example, while being above the tunnel to A in Desert Storm, it's very easy to know if someone is running inside, and how many they are), and I can easily pinpoint sounds like gun switched by a camper. And that alone makes me a hacker...

    Same here. Because you can outmatch a noob Kriss user (I'm not saying all user of Kriss are noobs, even if...) with only a few shots of DEagle aimed directly at the face (just like Chuck Norris' roundhouse kicks) then you must be a hacker. -_-'
    Imagine doing the same with a P228, and that's it, you're an official aimbotter. GTFO HAKR §

    Take what you said about hearing everything, couple it with the knowledge of each player's weapon and that alone allow you to know who is where. If you add tracing bullets, death locations of your teammates (the fading white cross on the radar) and what weapons killed them, then, you really are a hacker. And that's sad because... F11 for free ZP !!!
  • can any1 help me

    How do you take pictures,CANYOU TAKE PICTURES?!?
  • I've played games with and against people who don't use sounds at all. They can't hear anything...anywhere. Anyone with the slightest amount of skill who uses headphones knows how annoying these teammates are.

    I use surround sound headphones (Earforce HPA FTW!) and can locate a ghost on the other side of the wall on the other side of a room.

    For some reason people like to scroll through their weapons (gun->pistol->knife->gun...you get the picture) while walking or waiting to ambush. This does not make me a waller, it makes you impatient bordering on A.D.D. SIT STILL AND WAIT FOR THE KILL!!! Know which weapon you have as your backup (aka last weapon or 'Q') and prepare it for use if necessary BEFORE you get to your potential kill site.


    And Mushroom911 - F12 is the default button for a screen shot. It's in your options menu.

    This game doesn't support 5.1, apparently.

    Aren't all headphones surround sound?
  • No.


    Left and Right = 2 directions.

    5.1 = 5 directions, and so on.

    I have a 7.1 headset. Our version of CF does not support surround sound.


    Anyway, maybe the most important skill in this game is timing. Learn how long it takes to do certain things, run certain places, walk certain places.


    When you know that last T is in the snake, you'll know if he has enough time to rotate to B or if you should just wait at A.


    ETC.
  • Surround Sound is enough. Btw, MW/MW2 is nothing about sound i would say :P. But then it would be different "types" of FPS... CF -> CS 1.6 ~~

    OMG It doesn't????

    I'VE BEEN DECEIVED!!!!!


    :P lulzwut?
  • I have required all needed skill for competitive CF.
    But, the sound isn't required unless you are camping. If it's a face-to-face attack, then sound is not required at all. I play in the mornings when my mom is asleep and I turn off the volume and I still get a good KD in each match.
    Also, needing to know the HP of other players going in which direction isn't necessary as well. If they get killed, you don't need to go back to that location and search for his/her victim. It's necessary that you go look for the victim you were chasing earlier. Reasons:
    -The player who killed your teammate has gone back to the direction they came.
    -The player who killed your teammate is camping.
    etc.
    Therefor, that skill isn't required at all in my opinion. Great guide though :]
  • lmao its hilarious how hak losers try to justify themselves against hackusations with these so called "skillz guides". rofl if you had the skill to write a good document and the vocabulary to make it look professional you might fool a few more ppl.

    All you have done is try to make a big man out of yourself by implying that you have all these so called necessary skillz. LMFAO. Most of us have played fps for some years some of us decades and some 15 year old turd playing his 3rd fps ever is gonna give us advice. omg. Get a life and try playing without a hack once in a while and you might actually develop some skills!

    What? You calling people "hak losers" for what reason. If you're talking about Denxi, he'll be more well known in this game than you will ever be. He probably has a life, how about you stop your trolling.

    @Bruce: Thoughtshark told me that this game supports surround sound :x

    First Time i've mentioned this argument in ages, but alright.

    My Logical IQ is 156, my average IQ is 133.

    I'm a ****ing genius.

    Age doesn't matter when it comes to processing basic data, only a level of logical thinking.

    If I wanted to "make a big man out of yourself by implying that you have all these so called necessary skillz" then I'd go troll good players and spam the fact that I'm better then they are. There's no point is using any kind of subtle method whn it comes to doing something like that.

    Just by saying this it shows how bad you are. Since when did KDR ever matter? Also just because your smiting noobs doesn't mean your doing something great.

    Let me get one thing straight, at a certain level, as of now. Look at the good players lifeline and trio's starters. There are lots of good players in this game. Fact is though, for players in a higher level the biggestest difference is playing smart and teamwork.
    Sound is one of the biggest factor for playing smart, if your gonna play without sound, stick with TDM.
    Your also implying camping is a bad thing. Ok, go scrim without camping and come back crying when your bottom fragging
    i know it is only an opinion, but obviously your opinion is wrong. the end.

    Just let me quickly expand on Denxi's logic. That part of the game is very important. For example, you guarding B site, you have not seen anybody for 30 seconds meaning? 1 they are camping spawn and just waiting for some idiot to pick off. 2 they are rushing A site.
    What do you do? Look at your team, are they engaging in a battle? if it is a scrim, did they tell you how many are coming in? Then who is left? He is obviously going in another direction into A site to flank your team guarding A assuming they are indeed attacking A site. So in black widow, if your teamate said 3 A long. Then it is clear there are 2 either coming through large double door mid, otherwise cat walk. So people at B should rotate accordingly.
    It is easy to just post this on a forum, however in a pressure cooked situation there are always times where you don't know what to do or get confused. I just love how these arrogant people are posting here saying that they know these skills. Truth is, nobody in cf knows these skills perfectly, malte is for sure one of the smartest player i've ever seen in cf otherwise AN in fgt , kevin in fgt. (only because that's what i've seen so far) These people don't necessarily need the best shooting skills, even though they are still amazing at shooting anyways. They have in depth knowledge of how to play SnD , what to do in what time. Therefore they can preaim and kill you much faster than what you can react to.
