In Response To: Re: works everywhere (Rockslider)


: No, I've never heard of this. I'd pretty much be aiming for the head, unless
: it's a long way off and the weapon's fire falls with distance. Hold on
: though, MAYBE I tend to aim ever so slightly above the noggin, when quite
: a way off? Could it be that I've somehow noticed an improvement by doing
: that, over the years? Heck you've got me wondering now.

: If you're not just making this up to play tricks on me as a Halloween jape or
: something, I'd guess that the technique might relate to the small amount
: of auto-correction the game does on your shot. If you're aiming just above
: the head, auto-correction will try to bring the shot down a little.
: Whereas, if you're aiming directly at the head, perhaps auto-correction
: does nothing much and your shot becomes more subject to the slight spread
: of the weapon, hence you stand more chance of missing the head? Something
: along those lines could explain why aiming above helps, if it really does.

: Just HOW much above are you aiming?

No this is no Halloween jape, I do this all the time :) Hold the BR's targeting reticle so that the blue circle is just barely touching or just a few pixels above the Jackals head. I never center the Jackals head inside the BR's targeting circle because the bullets bounce off it's armored head piece. I've never paid much attention to notice if there is any auto-aim with the BR, usually I'm too busy to notice :)
