50ms is a very good ping, what are you worried about?

willirob · Aug 11, 2006

seems a lot of the time I shoot people in the head and they don't seem to get hit...maybe I'm just crap

could be that your rates are wrong, i thought the servers were supposed to enforce the correct rates for everybody who plays on them?

willirob · Aug 11, 2006

ok - thanks will look into the rates thing

50ms is awesome ping dude.

I play with 600ms, but that's on int'l servers.

Yeah 50ms is excellent, it could very well be the other guys lagging or hacking, or, like me, you can't aim

have to admit - been wondering 'bout my aim

you should aim for the feet, so when the recoil kicks in you will eventually get to a headshot.

. . . duh, tried that and found that 4 shots to the nads aren't nearly as effective as One shot to the head
