"How do you aim in an FPS?"

What's your prefered method of inflicting death in your favourite shoot-em up? For Quake I get the rocket launcher and generally aim either at the gound in front of them or a wall next to them (opponents usually strafe, so a body shot is difficult). This is especially useful on levels with no edges. On Half-Life it has to be the submachine gun. The shotgun is good, but it hasn't got the accuracy I demand. For Unreal Tournament I find the sniper rifle is good. It's really handy when you use a mouse to play - more like a point and click adventure.

I usually use the rocket launcher, aim at the floor, fire, and laugh.

I can't stand people who use the sniper rifle constantly. It really gets worrying at how pathetic some people are.

It's alright if say you're playing a team game and you've got to defend something, but playing a normal deathmatchy thing, what the hell is the point?

Go get that rocket launcher/heavy machine gun thing, and run around and kick some aris.

Monkeyman hate it when he lose at Quack.

Am I the only one here who hates Quake and Unreal?

Cak.

It's annoying when you're being all stealthy-like and some spaz comes running at you with his quad rocket launcher and there's nothing you can do. I tend to stay away from walls as well. Good thing about UT is the anti-grav boots. Save them until someone shoots at you and you look like the six million dollar man, flying away and shooting down.

Anyway, getting back to the topic at hand!

I absolutely love games or levels wear you have to (or have the option to) use stealth over simple run-in-and-kill tactics!

Like "Bad diplomasy" in Agent Under Fire, only with far more intelligent guards...

can't wait for MGS2

no probs ;)

Ah, that explains it... I rarely venture out of FOG or the console specific forums!

If you have any trouble with the newbies, just send them my way ;)

He's been around for ages...only on other forums.

Back to the FPS, I played UT until 2 last night and I've got a feeling it's gonna come before revision today.
