i was gonna say that!
i guess ill just add on and say 'look/aim in places where people will be or you expect people to be', like a window. why the fuck would you be looking at the floor/sky/wall/pornspray? spec the good players and see where they have their crosshairs.

also, after dying to split second headshots all the time, you have to do learn how to do it also if you want to survive.

lastly, i recommend watching competitive play and trying to mimic their aim/burst fire/strategy/etc.

lol, true. Sometimes I will get a headshot and am a little suprised that I got it because it will look like my crosshairs are a little off . . .

That's my whole game there. Every so often I'll pull of some beautiful shot from across the map. It's always followed up with "Holy shit!!! Did you see that shot!?! WTF happened?!?"

Usually this is true for me with one deag headshots. I see some people get crazy deag hs at times, often times in a row, and I can just not seem to get the gist of it.

If you do it enough, it just becomes second nature to you. Keep your crosshair at head level, and it just comes to you...idk what to say really.

that is all.

Wisest man in here. Unless they are afk, crouching or standing completely still (and even then), don't ever aim for the actual person.

Repitition, patterns, and more repitition. If you are feeling a little bit "off" on a certain day, don't play CSS. That's where the big boys excel. Did I mention repitition?

I've played for 10 years and I don't think it's THAT bad. If I aim behind a person like you guys are implying, I miss. *shrug*

Not so much behind, but for me the hitboxes are far too irradic for me. If it was consistent it would be different. Some days you can aim 6 feet to the left of someone's head and get a hs kill. Other days you have to be spot on.

When I play a game where I can't get a hs on an afk player who is 2 feet away from me with crosshairs on his face.....I am done with the game.

Besides, you hack Toker.
