Killed in one or two shots

**duckg** · 04-12-06, 09:19 AM

I have a question or maybe it is just frustration. I use the Sturmgewehr or the Browning most of the time and I don't understand how you can be shooting at someone, blood is flying, but they manage to get off one or two shots and I'm dead and I had full health.

I don't mind dying, hell I die a lot. But it frustrates the hell out of me getting killed by one or two shots, especially when they are running trying to dodge me and some how they get off a head shot

A lot of you have played with me, so I am just looking for a little advise here. I probably rush a little bit too much, hence a lot of deaths, but my focus is helping the team capture flags. If I die, I die trying. Anyway, if anyone has any tips for me, I would appreciate it. I just want to get better.

I would't worry too much about it. I have been playing HL for 7 years and have noticed the shot perdiction can be off some. Ever notice how players can kill you around corners, even when you think you are hidden. You are thinking in real life terms, this is calculated in mathmatical equations. Go forth and kill somemore

I'm pretty sure they both do 50 damage to body shots, 40 to limb and a billion to the head. When they're hitting, they're fast killers.

Im a MG man myself, and I run into the same thing. You gotta remember when gunning your head is about all thats exposed. Also to bring them down quicker aim infront of them :arrow: . When they get hit they slow down, hopfully in the main stream of your bullets.

After every finale I've beaten, I enjoy watching the scrolling stats. It tells me a lot about my game play. Certain things I've noticed so far is I normally come out on top of the kill charts, for infected and special infected. I normally protect the most team mates as well. But My accuracy is midfield at best. I'm always last on head shots and normally light years ahead of the rest of the team on friendly fire incidents. Knowing details as allowed me to focus on these stats and improve them.

What do the endgame stats say about your play style?

i have a 1st-2nd accuracy rate and headshot rate Im 2-3 zombieslayer, i get 2nd on most special infected kills and i take 2nd most damage

The friendly fire stat encouraged me to cut down on sprays and to take more patience with target acquisition to make sure I was shooting what I wanted to shoot. The accuracy and head shot stats also helped me to improve my play style to become more efficient. I think those are the three most telling stats, though sometimes seeing special infected killed tells me how alert I was. Those stats helped me get good enough to make it through expert campaigns.

I enjoy seeing the damage done to tanks thing because it shows you that if you - yes you - would shoot the tank, it'll die faster.

I wish those stats would be shown in Versus play.
