Gamers - FPS (specifically COD Modern Warfare - Remastered)

A lot of what I expected to hear. Internet ping rate, as well as DL and UL speeds are very good, at least when I ran the test. There certainly is an gained intuition. Other players throw grenades over buildings and walls and they land at my feet. I am a grenade magnet. I have adjusted my controller sensitivity to get a balance of speed and precision that is a happy medium. I spend time on the "range" practicing and even that is frustrating. Unfortunately there is no aim assist.

 

I am at the point where it is not fun for the occasional player. Last night I went 0/18 in one game.

 

I haven't played Cod in years. Quake Champions has been fun.

 

Learn the maps. Slow down. There’s a middle, left, and right side to every map. Play an objective based game like domination so you kind of have an idea of where people will come from. Spawn points in tdm can be real jacked up. Keep an eye on the mini map like mentioned before. Dying teammates are always a sure way of knowing what’s coming from where. Hell, use that sound perk that shows what direction people are coming from til you have an idea of what’s going on.

I would do that all the time on the original MW. Especially the map where everyone is on a cargo ship. Eventually I switched to playing the Battlefield series (still team deathmatch servers) as I enjoyed it more. Unfortunately these FPS games are more run and gun versus planning and team work.

 

Maybe a stupid question, but what graphic card are you running in your rig?
Unless you've got an nvidia 1070 or newer or amd 580 or newer with 8gb on the GPU, you could not be getting the render delivered in a timely manner to your monitor.

Also, what others have said, time on screen. My buddy has 600hrs playing in PUBG.
Shroud, probably the best PubG streamer has, based on the stats here: LINK probably has close to the following:
Games played: 5957 - (1512+765) = 3680 games (i'm going to guess he gets to the midpoint of 15min) ~920hrs in game
Games top 10: 1512 (i'm going to guess an average of 20min per) = ~500hrs
Games won: 765 (max time in game is 30min) = ~382hrs

That's 1800 hours, just of one online FPS game. When you throw in all the other games he played, both for fun, as a pro, and then as a streamer before and during PubG, that's a lot of time advantage to smoke newbs.

 

Good info given from many people above. As suggested, map knowledge is a huge advantage, I always hate when new maps come out because I suck until I learn them.

Another thing worth noting is the older the game the harder the competition usually. I skipped a handful of COD releases until WW2 and would usually be one of the top 2 or 3 players in whatever mode I was playing, and always had a solidly positive K/D. If I go back and play the first Black Ops game or anything more than the last one or two COD's now I get slaughtered, because all the fair weather players have migrated to something new and all that's left are the hardcore guys that have been playing nothing but that game for years.

 

I have switched to playing in my office and the wife got me a 1ms monitor for xmas. Smaller screen and 1ms is def a changer. Lots of good info in here. Slowing down is def a good idea. I play Black Ops 4 and do ok in MP and getting much better at Blackout. Also, you might think about getting a https://www.amazon.com/Collective-Dominator-Controller-Adapter-playstation-4/dp/B01L8QHXJA helps a ton. Same as a Scuf but not $170.

 

As odd as it sounds, part of my trick has always been to play hardcore. Way easier to get kills. I may die more, but I’m going to take more with me when I don’t have to hit them 17 times.

 

i dont remember the weapons for that game but in MW2 and MW3 i had a class for large maps, medium maps, and small maps.

i always use that double primary weapon perk and usually the fast runner perk too

so shotgun/ assault rifle for small maps

double assault for medium maps

sniper/ assault for large maps

running up behind someone for the knife shank is easily the most fun though

 

LinusTechTips did a YT vid comparing the benefits of higher res vs higher refresh rate for gaming. the vid is called "4K Gaming is Dumb". there were complaints about the 60Hz monitor.

 

does something like that work on PS4, or is it just PC?

 

The best players turn all the eye candy off in competition.

 

It is a stupid question because he's on PS4. It's literally in the very first sentence in his original post.

Get a mouse and keyboard. Fck controllers.

 

Yes ps4

 

Good to see a diplomatic approach..
PS4 = propper fuckt.

 

the only thing you needed in mw2 was dual 1887's and the invervention

 

I played CS on PC all through high school and college and was decent at it. I've picked up FPS games on consoles a few times over the years and absolutely blow at them. I play PUBG from time to time with some old friends, and that's fun because they're way better than me and drag me along.

My son plays plants vs. zombies on Xbox, and that's actually a pretty damn fun version of a FPS for my old ass.

 

WAT?! Please... no, just, no.

To clear things up for people, a 1070 does not deliver rendered frames to the monitor ANY quicker than an old i740 (Who had one of those gems?). The speed of your card will dictate your FPS, but not magically reduce latency between the card and monitor by virtue of a bigger number on the box.
