About your resolution

Hi,

I had a little discussion with vis about ingame resolution.

He sais that you play better with low resolution/r_mode, that some guy told him that you shoot more headshots.

I think that you play better with high resolution/r_mode because you see more details etc.

So my question towards you guys is, with what resolution/r_mode do you guys play and is your gameplay dependable on resolution or is it all in the head?

Thanks in advance :>

r_mode 6

and resolution is a personal taste, there is no so called "best resolution" just pick one you like most.
NICE LIES!
best reso= r_mode 4
Play with r_mode 8 afaik since I have my new comp.. I play better than before but I think that has to do with stable fps & new mouse/pad and not with my resolution :)
no man... its your config!

Parent
Mystic is cool

Atm i'm also playing with r_mode 8 and it's much nicer.
Parent
Don't notice a difference.. Though I don't notice a difference between 60 hz or 120 hz.. And also I thought my 2 year old qpad was still smooth untill I started playing with this new one..
Parent
Well, i'll show you!

You are playing for a while with r_mode 8, now go on a empty server type /r_mode 4 and do a vid restart, you'll know what i mean :D

it just looks ugly
Parent
Mate I've played with really ugly configs before.. It doesnt influence the way I play Oo
Parent
I'm not saying it infects your gameplay, i'm just stating that it looks ugly :<
Parent
I don't play ET for the graphics ;d I play to play good and not to watch some pretty image of me dieing all the time.
Parent
It could be possible that people play better with better graffics.

=P lets stop this discussion
Parent
Haha, i was just bugging you ;D

r_mode 4 offcourse
r_mode 9 ofc
it's all about hertz
mode 4 gives me the most hz, but i find it kinda hard to hit targets at long distance with that resolution, so i use 6.
6 is a nice balance between high hz and being able to hit targets at long distance imo
using mode 8 decreases my hz with 20, and that really sucks if you're used to play with your old hz
Tell me more about this hertz thingy :> so high hertz = better play?
Parent
On a CRT its all bout hz like echo said. Try to get it as high as possible.

On a TFT the other hand its maximum 75, what resolution you take ...

My resolution is r_mode 8 ( ET and Windowns ) becasue that the resolution that is best for my TFT ... ANd its only giving me 70 hz ... dunno why , prolly because its in digital imput
And would you be so kind to explain me what CRT and TFT means? i dunno much bout pc's

CRT =

Abbreviation of cathode-ray tube, the technology used in most televisions and computer display screens. A CRT works by moving an electron beam back and forth across the back of the screen. Each time the beam makes a pass across the screen, it lights up phosphor dots on the inside of the glass tube, thereby illuminating the active portions of the screen. By drawing many such lines from the top to the bottom of the screen, it creates an entire screenful of images.

TFT =

Short for thin film transistor, a type of LCD flat-panel display screen, in which each pixel is controlled by from one to four transistors. The TFT technology provides the best resolution of all the flat-panel techniques, but it is also the most expensive. TFT screens are sometimes called active-matrix LCDs.

en hertz is het aantal beelden per seconde dat je monitor laat zien
je kan wel 125 fps stabiel hebben, maar als je monitor slechts 85 hz aankan, zie je er dus ook maar 85 per seconde.

dit geldt inderdaad alleen voor crt's. als jij een tft hebt, maakt het niet veel uit, je zal dan altijd ongeveer 70hz halen

vandaar dat veel gamerts liever op een crt spelen, deze kunnen je soms twee keer zoveel beelden per seconde laten zien, waardoor alles veel soepeler loopt. (dutch)
Parent
Danku :) twas leerrijk

Ik heb mijn tft nu op 75 hertz gezet, daarvoor stond hem op 60.
Parent
use higher resolution on your desktop than in w:et and you will always feel like zooming :D rly helpfull... i'm playing @ r_mode 6 and using some 12xx*10xx resolution on desktop just give it a try^^
you play in fullscreen?
Parent
ofc would be annoying if i'd see all the icq / irc messages in war :D
Parent
i have the same, but i never noticed that 'zooming effect' :p
Parent
well, i have played on r_mode 6 resolution in ET and desktop for approximately 2-3 years and now i changed my desktop resolution so it's a big change... i also moved my really small 17" monitor about 10cm nearer to me so there are many changes and it really improved my aim / play / hs ... we'll see how long it holds on ;D
Parent
r_mode 6 ofc
