Anyone ever have a gun they used to be really good at, but havent used it for a bit, and suck like a newb now? that happened to me... with every gun. That bothers me... I used to be really good with the ruger, mp5, steyr, m79, and knife, but after going solo-saw for about half a year, I completely suck since I havent been practicing with the others. I recently tried using guns, and i couldnt hit anything. I had like a .8 ratio.
This makes me sad. anyone have any practicing techniques for regaining their edge with a weapon?
If not i guess im staying with chainsaw forever.

You must've lost your technique as I stopped using ruger for about a month or two then I started again the other day and I was pretty bad but I just kept playing with it and I got my aim back.

I'd suggest being on Bravo in inf mode, that way you don't have to go look for people to kill, they come to you. That way, you can practice with weapons without worring about people coming up behind you.

If you want to improve your reaction time, play DM with about 10 people in a small map (Daybreak).

True. I'd highly recommend rolling with some bots, setting them on the easiest difficulty, so that you can re-familiarize yourself with the weapon. It should get you back up to speed in a couple of days.

I used to use Deagles in 1.2.1, but then awhile after 1.3 was released, Swarm told me to use the AK-74, and I did. I lost my knifing skills along with my Deagle skills.

Then again, I bet that makes all the knife haters happy

My once-1337 LAW power has been heavily cut by the freakin' startuptime. I was always awesome with the SPAS, tho'.

WEll I haven't played for a week or so, and now my ruger aim is DEAD OFF.
It may be my mouse sensitivity too...

Oh yeah, I forgot about the LAW. Probably because the .3 seconds of prefire isn't always .3 seconds.

I used to rock with the SPAS, but I've since lost my skill with it.

Meh, blaming the .3 second law delay =\ I'm still pretty good with it. I played in a 1.2.1 server and realized how annoying the law used to be, just never realized it XD

I'm not blaming the .3 second law delay. I'm blaming the .3-8.0 second law delay.

too true, nobody uses it because it's hard to know when it will actually shoot making it impossible for you to get used to it, sometimes on 1.2.1 wms i have it and go to my taunt "i was the law before it was cool" good times good times... *sigh*

Whats the point of the law delay? We all get rid of it in our mods.

lol

It was supposedly too powerful. I could live with it; it's just the terrible lag that makes the delay much longer than normal.

I've been using the Desert Eagles as my main weapon since 1.1.2. Occasionally I briefly work to become good with Ruger, Minimi, M79, SPAS.. but I always go back to the Deagles.

lol.

I think the startup of law should be able to be initiated when not ducking and touching the ground. basically so you can prone in middair, hold down the trigger, and fire as soon as you land (or actually when .3 secs have passed). that would still be fair and would make LAW still usuable.

Hang on, you use the saw AND grenades? A true saw user would use the saw nothing else.
Hmph.
