how the hell does everyone get headshots so fast? ive been tinkering with the camera speed options lately, i suppose it helps a little bit. but still, i cant get my kill:death ratio above 1:1!!
They get an easy hs because you don't move around. I bet you just stay in one spot for about one second. Remember, it only takes one second to get an easy hs. ;) If you stand still it makes you a very easy pray. Either box pop or move around. Do not spray. If you spray it will make you an easy pray. Remember, there is a 50% chance you will get a hs by spraying. Do you really want to take that risk? I will tell you guys the truth. I got good by watching YouTube videos of MGO players. I have studied players like DS, Jupiter, +RYU+, ABG, xRememberance, etc. That’s the truth. Once you see how they aim and get an easy hs, you will get the hang of it.

Now, if someone is very close range to you, rather than spraying, hoping to get that hs, use AA, and go for those easy body shots. Screw the people that say "lawl you used aa n00b". I guarantee you that they are fuckin' nine year old whining scrubs.

Now, I have one more thing to say. When I was a level 10 I made a game called 1v1 in BB. This level 16 came in. He was so nice to help me out and teach me how to "get gud" lol. He told me that you have to predict what your opponent is going to do. It's hard to explain, really, but you will find out what I mean if you think about it ;)

On the subject of "easy HS"

It also helps to try to work your way upwards in sensitivity and see what you can master. It allows for obviously quicker adjustment to your aim, which can help a lot on a moving target. Of course, not saying "10/10/10 = prao", because if you can't control 10 sens it won't help you at all! Personally i use 8/8/10, and do generally well against players higher levels than me (16+ players) and on a good day my aim is beastly.

But ultimately it comes down to practice. Loads of practice. No one "got" their aim from the off. Of course 3rd person shooter experience might help but MGO is fairly damn unique.

And on the matter of boxpopping... the defination of a boxpop isn't to spam L2, it's to use your box to avoid a headshot. When you get the hang of where the center of your screen it (shooting dolls and targets in training helps a lot here) you can also enter the box and try to "aim" for their head before actually aiming at them... people just spamming the box are trying to look pro and it will ultimately lead to loads of deaths against people aiming for the body since you crouch in the box.

And yes. Use AA. Use it whenever they're in range. The more the better. It works really good.
They might call you a n00b, but if you were then they could pr0 mc1337 b0xp0p h3adsh0t you, couldn't they? Exactly. Calling someone who kill/stun you a n00b just makes you look stupid.

Just keep trying, and with the popularity of statfree rooms you can play players of higher levels without fearing for your stats or anything. You might get... to put it bluntly, raped, but it will help you improve.

Run around in circles really quickly, and very quickly press L2 twice to change in/out of your box, and then stand right back up, keep running in circles the whole time, it's a lot harder for people to shoot you in the head this way.

Take the time that you have while they're hidden reloading, to toss a grenade.

^ Then there's Jupiters.'s which is youtube.com/JupiterMGO
Anyways, just take a look at how they shoot. It should help.

You basically have to aim at one spot either very close by to their head or straight at it. Not that hard. Just takes practice.

EG: I was playing tsne in WW. We were sneaking. Some guy was out in the open. He was running through the snow path to the side. I was in the warehouse. I saw him pass by and aimed at a spot where he would walk through. When the time was right, I shot the Mk2 and got a nice eZ HS.

Yeah that works too. If you see someone running behind a corner for cover aim where their head would be, so when they come out to shoot you can get an easy headshot. Monomania helps with this.

A little correction to my knife tip. You can pop into first person view after hitting R1/R2. This makes it a lot easier and faster.

Ok new one that most prob know already. The running grenade toss. Let go of L1 when pulling out the pin and just before you throw it hold L1 to aim where it flies. This way you can throw grenades and run at the same time so it's harder to hit you. Just standing still or even walking holding L1 the whole time makes you an easy target.

Play with a good team.

If you're not a part of a clan, well...
THEN IT'S TIME TO GO HUNTING!

Play with people, a lot of different clans that you find.
Stick to the one you like, and play many games with them. Then sooner or later, you'll be asked to join if they like your skills.

That's how I met HADOU.
I was originally !!HADOKEN!! without the U and as soon as I first started playing with Bibej and Ex-Fluff I was like "guys, you know Hadouken is spelled wrong, right?" and bibej was like "don't look at me". I remember it, clear as day. ^_^
It was that night that I was asked to join HADO...last year. And I haven't left yet. :P

Everything that's team based.

CAP, RES, TDM, RACE, BOMB, etc...

But yeah, I find it more fun to play with clan than real friends in some cases...

Hahah, what Level are you?

The reason I ask, is because Level means everything in the group you joined...

For example...
Level 16s aren't going to play with anything lower than a 15, FACT.
BB and higher, are not going to play with anything lower than a BB, FACT
High KDR's are not going to play with anything without a high KDR, FACT
Eagle+ ranks aren't going to play with anything under it, such as Sloth, FACT...

Yup, MGO for you. ;)
Well, many games are like that but still...

Good luck with the tournament! ^_^

I'd suggest you stay out of RAY and REX lobbies.

That's where the LSers tend to hide out.
As well as high levels.

thanks for the tip dude the tourney was actually in Revolver Ocelot. i wish there was a room for middle ground players lol like beginner lobbies intermediate lobbies and expert lobbies that would be cool, but then people would have a tougher time leveling up huh
