Aiming?

Okay how on earth do you hit anything in this game? I go on a server and people are able to perfectly target me across a room while flying in 4 different directions and I cant even figure out how to acurately hit apoint blank shotgun blast. Ii seems like spamming button and hoping something happens is the only way to play.

Thats the thing with this game... I tend to host a server for myself and anyone lucky enough to join at the time (atleast for the mod version before I now have to redownload for steam) but lag doesn't seem to be a problem cause people jumping around end up lag blasting me perfectly fine and so I can lag blast them hence. but at it's core it's definitely a game you sort of have to "get used to" because at first, yes, spray and pray tends to be many peoples actions and constantly using rapid weapons. But cause i played the specialists I had a little bit going for me as far as "prediction aiming" and high speed action goes. You just gotta learn to follow their dives and predict movement usually. Middle click melee is also your friend. Same with zooming in if you're trying to be sneaky. :3

but yeah, just a classy way of saying, "get good"/"Practice makes pretty good" (I won't say perfect. cause no-one really is. :P) just play vs bots by adding some with the console to your own game when you create one and just get the feel for the aiming, sliding and shooting simultaneously. I tend to try to only dive when I need to get somewhere fast, know I'll get the shot for the free +1 slow mo or when death matching someone. Otherwise I'm usually off trying to pop someone from out of no-where with marksman powers. xD .... and if you get the "super mode" when completing a random objective, slow mo while they're reloading and punching them out is your best friend cause you move so fast.

You can hold shift to aim which I HIGHLY recomend when shooting at a distance

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is the difference between slow motion and regular-time motion.

Bullets take time to travel when you are slow mo'd, but travel instantly when you are not in slow motion. This effect is exaggerated if you are "hit" by someone activating their super slow motion (if you don't activate yours).

So, if I activate my slow motion and you activate yours in response, neither of us will have an advantage over the other in terms of how long an action takes, but we'll both have to lead our shots.
