Improving Skills @ ET

play different classes / positions
play in others clans for a while , if u play with the same people for a long time youre kinda "stuck" imo
watch ettv try to imitate people who are playing your position / class
get someone who got more experience to help and tell you what youre doing wrong
and playing on a public is just a waste of time if u do it to "improve" your aim , get a better mouse , try different settings on it untill you are satisfied

play a lot of 3on3 mixed with some 6on6 :) u will improve your aim and your sense of the game :) thats all :)

dont play pubs

go to public and play aggressive, good aim training. A lot have to do with talent but I guess you'll improve anyway with just good hard pubbing. After you start raging too much, search a better public skillwise. Id not recommend any b4 publics or so, you just get leaned there and its not good when practising your aiming. Dont lean too much either because any player can own with lean and that doesnt tell anything about your aim. Also, dont focuse on your kill/death ratio, headshots or accuracy. Just try and play out like you can, you will eventually get better but its not good way to start immediatly focusing why your accuracy is low or why no headshots. Pure tracking and good amount of bodyshots is still a good way in ET eventhough players have moved into be more aimbased than ever.

If you dont like pubbing so much try to play clan matches, preferable versus same skill or just tiny better opponents. If you find an equal opponent which bot you and them share an interest of getting better - start to play them regularly. Good practive war is not a waste of time like usually they are.

And when you are playing clan wars, take some serious time into the tactics and for your way of playing. Try to make your tactics better. Discuss about them. Discuss about mistakes. (try and not to make it out as a war inside the clan). When you get better and you start playing more stable you should notice a difference how you play the game. Clanskill is not directly the same skill as personal skill but a lot can be gained from playing good as a team. Its much easy to get better personally after youve done it as a team.
1) you get selfconfidence - you can try out things you would not try normally
2) you get to play against better opponents regularly and start to get more gain from each of the games.
3) its much easier for you get better personally after you are doing good in a team

Also Id advise you to check any settings you do use. Bad mouse or mousepad will limit your skills although its not it in every case but usually the better your stuff is the better you are. Screens HZ, FPS, mouse accel, config are all things which may effect your playing. And its never bad to know about things eventhough you would change anything.

And most important thing : HAVE FUN, its useless if you dont enjoy it and if you dont you should just quit :)

watch teKoa's ettv !!
prefered from idle time

if you want to play more aimbased, pracc 2on2/3on3's.
for tactics you want to go 6on6, also just try the basic map strategies and work up from there once it goes smooth, you can spice it up with some of your own changes

and if that doesnt work, you can always share a netcoders account with all your clanmates

mystic is best suxer with luger in teh world ! <3 .... raziel , replicator ;) mAus ! :> butchji < tekoa

personally i dont think 3v3 is that good for aim praccing. Sure, youll become a 3v3 ownator, spreading 3hs everywhere, but 3v3 style of gameplay just cant be applied on 6v6. "3v3 aim" just wont do in 6v6. 3v3 players tend to be limited in number of actions/decisions they make in a short timespan. They are used to play like "ok, 1 is down, there are only 2 guys left, fine for me to only camp here and check only this entrance". Thats all they do, waiting somewhere, limited to aiming at one spot, waiting for enemy to appear and press one button. Sure, this can happen in 6v6 too, but most likely these guys are gonna find themselves in a position that requires checking more routes, avoiding spam, theyre gonna be backraped or more than 2 guys will come. And thats the point when they just wont be able to react to everything quickly enough to give themselves the time to aim properly, they just wont handle the pressure. They cant do more things at once ;)

edit: dunno who wrote it somewhere above, but i agree with him - if you play on publics, play aggressive, dont ever camp, dont lean, dont throw medpacks under urself and dont camp on them. I see many players doing these things, they can own me on the pub, but when they play a 6v6/3v3 they are just pure nothing. I dont think tha skill of the pub is that important here. Its more about the number of players and the gameplay on the pub. Playing on a pub where everyone leans and camps on medpacks wont improve you in any way. Its better to go on a 20 slot server full of lesser skilled players who dont camp, who move constantly, because in my opinion the way you can improve on pub is by aiming at as many guys during the shortest time as possible. And your aim on pub should be achieving the highest amount of kills per minute or damage given per minute. Go aggressive, get in situations when there are many enemies around you and you have to move/turn constantly/swap between enemies... :o

play agressiv :D

its like raziel said in his good old aiming tut: stop camping, throwing senseless nades or putting medic-packs under ur a**. its all about playing agressive.

if u want to learn something from public playing, dont camp, be quite aggressive, challenge people. thats the only way to actually improve your aim. and also I suggest almost never using grenades at public. there are so many pubnoobs who go and hide behind corner after the first few hits and come out with a nade. they die and miss the nade and what did they learn aimwise? nothing.

funny but to become a good aimer you should do what chmpp said
tbh settings is one of the things limiting many players' abilities :(

Don't try to copy settings from other players, find settings YOU are comfortable with. And like chmpp said: don't focus too much on aim, accuracy and 3 hs kills. It's much more important to do as much damage as possible and get the objectives done.
To improve your teamplay: every player needs to maximize his performance for his position. Watch players from good clans on ETTV and copy their "moves". You'll see that it often is very mechanical but effective. It also helps if you rotate positions from time to time. That way you'll understand what your teammates have to deal with and you can help each other to improve.

first of all you must know - ET IS NOT AIMBASED GAME!!!

dont worry about low accuracy & lack of headshot... as long as your clan is playing as one[teamplay rules] your crossfire will do the work...

BUT if you really want to improve your aim - remember your settings are ok, you can only make some adjustments... 2o2 and 3o3s are the best way of improving aim, cause they are duelbased... if you really want to play on publics, spend that time on mastering spam skills [play engi smg, or fieldops] ... Some guys can play on high level because of their timing sense [hello wrobel]...

And the most important... its only a game have fun :P

just buy deathadder. you will notice that if you play with your monitor closed, you will still have ~40% acc and 30+ hs per round.


In all seriousness, what people have failed to say so far and what really matters the most is MOVEMENT. Learn to strafe and jump and the aim comes automatically. Movement is vital if you are low senser and you dont wanna move the mouse way too much. Same goes for highsens or normal sens.

To learn that, play public first, and what decem said, play aggressively.

once you get past the stage of taking fullspawns, you will rage everyone

Play on Servers like Bio if you can't scrim.

Play against better skilled players if you guys got a scrim.

Just play some 3on3's with some guys, that will improve your aim and experience.

And dont go to cybergames, go to bio 78.129.196.31:39000

Cybergames is full with leaners and campers

play the format you wanna be good at, if you wanna reach something in 3on3 play it, 6on6, play it. Aim wise you could try playing 1on1's with someone that's better then you. It's not really a guaranteed skill boost but you'll definitely get better in close combat. But ET isn't all aiming ofc so you should stick to playing what you wanna be good at and make sure your mates have the same goals and talent to take it to the next step :>

in publics i always get a shitty score because i rush too much ^^ and then there are ownators with nice scores because they camp alot but i get much more kills in a shorter period of time then them because im rshing, and in war i get a much nicer score because i play tactical overthere :)

stop rushing and think
