oh, and this may just be scoutzknivez-specific, and again it may only just be me being an idiot, but play it up some using the scope, then once you’re comfortable with roughly where the middle of your screen is, try to play entire rounds without using your scopes. Especially if you do this against Kuros, gxti, Brian, and Flakes, you will be forced to get good at a decent pace. I went off the scope only a few days ago, and (though I hate using this as motivation because I don’t want to encourage being a stat-driven lame-o) the last few rounds I did so I was clearly over +100 points / session.
And flakes makes an outstanding point I can’t believe I forgot: learn to love your ears, they will save your life repeatedly. If you listen enough to be able to tell where people are based on sound, and use your map with that when you can, you will be a LOT more informed
and finally, if you find yourself aiming dead-on and still missing, it may be the weapon’s spray pattern. to check this, get a map with a long clear hallway or alley and play it solo. run to one end and spray the target spray. then try to hit it from various distances, crouching/not, running/not, walking/not, etc.
