With under 50, do I shoot in front or behind?

[dageek]

Slightly in front.

[Enzo]

What kind of latency do you need to hit someone by aiming behind them? Negative latency?

Also, my prediction about raeging over the new Sniper Rifle was correct. Played against a sniper who had a 16-1 KD ratio. He was probably annoying to begin with, but that new gun...

[dragonshardz]

I want that damn rifle.

i'll be selling all of these Deus Ex items to fund other game purchases. Anyone else doing the same?

[freeformschooler]

So I got my computer and then I installed TF2. I was like, ha, this looks like a pretty dumb and boring game. I was so wrong.

Gentlemen, I have discovered true fun.

[hemmingjay]

Yup, I played the original habitually from 1996-2004 and then tf2 since it started. Others may play more than me, but nobody has more fun.

[Thexor]

Yeah, too bad I suck at sniping >.<

Been trying to practice all of yesterday. What I don't get is how I'm so bad compared to black ops. Not higher-level super advanced trickshots etc., I MEAN SHOOTING A FREAKING HEAVY IN THE HEAD WHILE HE'S CROUCHED AND MOVING SIDEWAYS CONSISTENTLY T.T

Depending on server latency, you may want to just shoot a little behind/in front of them.

The whole point of lag compensation is to eliminate exactly this artefact. Assuming your ping remains constant, you should shoot directly on target; any delay due to latency will be compensated out by the server.

Now, aiming slightly ahead is still a good idea, but not because of technological issues. Rather, humans have slightly delayed reactions; you may think you're shooting with perfect timing, but in fact you're pressing the mouse button a fraction of a second after you think you are. As a result, it's entirely independent of server latency, and entirely dependent on personal skill. If your reticule was over the target's head at the moment you clicked the button, you will hit, irregardless of latency.

Every "Pro" sniper I have ever seen landing every headshot has hit the air slightly in front of a target. Lag Compensation should solve the issue but it doesn't.

Finally managed to get the Sydney Sleeper. At somewhat ridiculous cost but hey... At least it also gave me reason to dump those 4 brass beasts that have been clogging up my inventory.

 Playing the piss sniper set is actually rather fun(Sleeper/Jar/Bushwacka). You aren't instantly lethal to most larger classes, but if your team is even remotely competant they'll clean up the mess for you, and you are INCREDIBLY more lethal against 150 HP or less classes due to the 25% increased charge rate. You also get to be even faster in close combat if you are a ninja.(Which for me is a very on/off sort of thing. 0P )

I feel very bad I scraped a ton of those. I never much liked the sleeper.

[HLBeta]

I just got the new sniper rifle out of a random drop. I had thought the 15% damage bost was on all shots instead of just fully charged ones, but it is a superb bodyshotting rifle nonetheless. The joy of pulling a double bodyshot kill with a full charge is near orgasmic as a sting of expletives and primal rage issue forth from the other team.

If it were possible to sell items for steam wallet funds, I'd do consider doing that with some of them. But I don't see the use since you can't, and you can buy the entire set of items for $20 in the TF2 store. I'm interested in Skyrim, but I don't see any sensible way to get it through trade without costing someone more money (trading for items with cheaper-priced games) than it would cost to just buy it (not to mention I could never get it solely through trade anyways).

[Cecilff2]

I've been punishing trigger happy pubs as a civ demo lately.  Go demo, and hang out by their spawn, talk to their snipers(Which are usually just fine with me hangin out with them), etc.  You know.  If someone starts shooting at me, I quickswitch to demopan then charge/pan.  So the question is, for this style of play, what should I name my demopan?
