I have 1200 hours in this game and still have no idea how to hit ♥♥♥♥

[Nautical Survivor]

So before the spam of "gEt gUd sKrUb" Yes. I understand aiming is a big portion of this game. But I have no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ idea how aiming in this game is supposed to work. I'll be crouching, not moving, right next to someone with my crosshair on their head shooting 2 bullets at a time and still not hit them, yet people can run past a doorway and ak headshot me no problem. I dont have problems like this in CS source. I just tried it yesterday and was hitting people left and right, and I usually dont have problems in other shooters. Just CS:GO. I've tried using spray patterns but that really doesnt seem to help either. Does anyone have any legitimate advice? I'd love to know how one can hit a running awp headshot, but cant hit someone standing right in front of them

luck..?

jokes aside it's okay to be not great at the game. i've been playing this game a lot recently and i still suck at this game. practice will improve, there's people who improve faster and there's people who's slow at improving. doesn't mean you're bad. just difference on time.

Basically you need to do more practice, you can train your aim skill on Practice map that can be implemented later on a real matchmaking

Oh yeah, you also need some common sense a.k.a luck

The biggest problem I have is that I dont have aiming problems on any game but this one. If I put my crosshair on someone and dont move, I expect my bullets to hit. Not to mention I see people using awps who literally arent even aiming at the person they kill but still hit the shot. I've never had this problem with any other game. On original CS if I miss shots I can understand why I've missed them, on CS:GO the bullet recoil makes no sense. I've had plenty of times where Im not even aiming at someone and hitting them, and then I move my crosshair to them and start missing every shot. it makes NO SENSE whatsoever

And I'd think 1200 hours in 9 months is more than enough practice

its called accuracy man, and its random

You do have a point - there is RNG and it has always been pissing me off. There was a point when I had a good setup and got used to the mechanics so much that running and spraying with AK for HS was easy. Kicked many times by my own team for "cheating"...LEM-Supreme levels. Volvo however kept changing the movement, spray, guns, scoping (big awp update that screwed KennyS) and having now changed setup and the game feeling different my aim is not the same.

My point is - hitting ♥♥♥♥ is a matter of your skill with the current mechanics. At my prime I was pulling 160-180h real playtime in CSGO according to steam, without much breaks for close to half a year, and my aim was so good that I was able to get to GE and Lvl 7 Faceit with my dumb disregard of any tactics and just rushing/peeking all the time.

You should get real - want GE? Its easy, do proper training and just casually play every day. Want Lvl 10 Faceit? It starts where GE in MM leaves - will take you even more time and commitment. Want to have pro player aim? Easy - just go a year playing CSGO full time and see what happens...

as I've said multiple times, I dont have accuracy problems in any game but this one. I can even drop crowds in ♥♥♥♥♥♥ games like unturned.

don't press "Z" while shooting, find the proper mouse sensitivity and train against bots

exactly - you do not need to put the crosshair on his head or stop moving, you just simply have the muscle memory to make the shot. In the reaction time needed to pull off crazy headshots consistently there is only a "feel" for how it happens.

edit: quote gone wrong.

If you are standing still aiming at someones head. 99% of the time you will hit their head too. I don't get where you come up with this idea that it wouldn't hit.

[evil bob]

They hit the shots from luck or from counterstrafing which from the victims point of can look like they are running

I get the idea that it wont hit because thats all I've seen. If I was someone with like 10 hours and saying this I could totally see you thinking this. But I've had multiple times where someone isnt looking at me, Im standing still, and firing one shot at a time with the ak and they're all just flying around the head

[Nautical Survivor]

and again, Its not an aim issue. If it was an aim issue I wouldnt be able to tap headshot in other games I play.
