Loss of Aim?

MegasAngel · May 2012

:)I just wondered, I normally am a rifler..and have a not bad shot sometimes...but lately I have been using the XM1014 exclusively for fun...when I did go in and play a map with a rifle I could not hit a thing...so does using the shotgun put your aim way off?? Do you think it's better to stick with one class of guns, or get used to all guns??

PS I really do not understand how the whole spray thing works so simple responses in easy terms would be nice

Its better if you stick to one weapon.

Spray Pattern: The pattern that bullets leave when shot non-stop against certain objects.

So for example the AK, the first shots all hit then the bullets start moving to the top right. So if you get used to the AK, you would move the mouse to the bottom left so the bullets start hitting again.

AWM has no spray pattern, its all 100% accurate so getting used to it isn't too hard. Most weapons however have different patterns and hence if you want to be good at using all of them you're going to have to memorise a lot of patterns.

Hope that's not too complex to understand

I usually try to stick to one gun just to get used to the spray pattern and also for muscle memory. But occasionally once I get bored with one gun I switch over to another one.

Not sure, but I do know that using a shotgun makes you a sprayer.

Alternate between an variety of weapons so you could be decent in all sorts of situation.

Do a few days with rifle only, few days with pistol, shotgun, smg sniper etc. Repeat pattern :O

yeah try to stick to one gun :P

Like try using m12 then going back to something like m4 and ak then you can't hit anything

generally its easier to stick with 1 gun to get more used to it

I try to use different guns fairly often, though AK is my main. Still, it's fun to Uzi and stuff

If I keep switching, I'll always be able to adjust to every gun fairly quickly

Thanks everyone for all the great responses...I think from your feedback my best best is to stick to my rifles and use my shotty for fun..:)

Thanks again you're all so smart

Well if you would like to come to Clan Practices with my clan you're welcome to. We pretty much focus on accuracy during those. HS's only usually is how we play. You can bring your clan too, be good for our clans to be buddies. But if you insist on using different weapons from time to time I'd at least go back to your rifle for about an hour each time you're on. Or you could just stick to one weapon as others here have said.

Just get an M12, you wont even need a mouse to aim.

Well I only played with k-2 since I started to play, I was really good at. like ridiculously good. but I always wanted to use awp. finally I bought one, loved it. get super on it. but now I can tell I am half way back with k-2 ! its terrible. Im thought my reflexes will get better with awp but no, Im so slow now. and my aim got worse

now Im keep playing with k-2 in order to play good or Im gonna buy another gun

I find when I snipe a lot and then switch to a rifle it takes a round or two to get used to it again. I quickscope a lot when I snipe so I'll keep right clicking my rifling pointlessly out of habit. :P

But then I remember I'm using a rifle not a sniper and the pwnage begins. I think it's good to switch up weapon style's. Keeps you on your toes. And keeps you ready for when you need to steal a gun that might not be one you use regularly.

Lol, thought this was talking about me cause of the capitalized A in the Aim.

But, using one gun exclusively can really mess up your aim with other guns. My advice would be to rotate guns, not daily but not use one exclusively.
