How do you guys do it?

I've seen so many people in this game pull head shots out of their ass. Literally I come around a corner, BOOM! headshot. It's baffling, I don't see how you guys do it.

Practice.

and then there is just some of us who have been playing the game Counter-Strike for WAY too fucking long.

You should always be holding your gun exactly at head height. That way, as soon as you see movement you can shoot, no need to aim.

When I first started holding my gun at head height it felt unnaturally high, just play some deathmatch with a deagle and get used to it.

This.

Spamming headshots becomes "business as usual" after you've played for awhile.

Next time at QC you should watch these guys play. It's like they don't know about other parts of the hit box except the head. Lol, and the only time I didn't see massive dedication to that type of aiming was when Jinx picked 5 off with an awp (beautiful shots).

^Yes indeed, this is all the best advice.^

Also, taking even an extra split second at distance to actually aim for the head can make a huge difference, instead of just instantly spraying in their direction as soon as you see someone. 1 shot to the head most often will beat 3 shots to kevlar.

They also say to fire in short, controlled bursts, which is true. But sometimes bursts are even too much with a gun like the AK. I will even at times use it single shot only when at a distance, like its not even a fully automatic weapon. That way you can acheive pinpoint accuracy. And then there's luck . . . which Raush knows a lot about lately.

You don't aim for their head, you aim for where their head was. CS:S hitboxes FTW.

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?!?"
