tbox Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I am a newbie to FPS games and I'm trying to learn the effective way to shoot someone that is around a corner? I find myself CONSTANTLY getting anhilated by people that run around a corner and take me out within a millisecond of them coming around the corner. I don't understand how they are able to run around a corner, zero in on my head and get off a headshot with a millisecond?It's one of those things that literally as soon as I see them come around the corner, I'm taken out. I realize this comes with practice, but are there some tips that help with this type of maneuver?Even with the auto-aim, I seem to center on their body and not their head and even if I get a chance to get off a shot it's not a fatal shot and I'm taken out before they are taken out. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1ckmad3 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 either time a grenade to blow up on impact or throw a sticky and blow it up mid air near his location it works 100% if you are accurate of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cudwieser Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Only if you have such things (keep the stickies for armoured cars and sabotage. Grenades for melees and hard targets) As for quickly shooting round corners (and conflict in general) use your map. See which way players are facing and how many people are there. If they are being griefed by some one else or are griefing someone else then they aren't paying full attention to you. If you are near a wall then use r1 to hug the wall and l2 to peek. (Use Auto aim to begin with but practice a bit of free aiming to refine your shooting). If the targets back is turned the feel free to shoot otherwise duck back to cover. If you are seen, then move and find alternate cover or be pre-emptive and go in shooting. Either way if you're found you're dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbox Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 or you can blind fire while in cover while your back is against a wall etc when you see him peek just hit the fire button i think r1 but without having to aim The grenande and sticky bomb are good options, but could get rather expensive pretty quick to employ these each time. Thanks for the suggestions Cudwieser! I'll definitely have to practice with those. I've seen times when literally all I've seen come from around the corner is their gun. Is it still the same key combination of R1 & L2 that enables one to do that? I believe this is what s1ckmad3 is referring to? In addition, if you are the one hiding behind the corner, I assume it's just best to have aim set for where you expect them to come around and not rely on auto-aim?

Cudwieser Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Thanks for your help guys and for not slamming my noob questions!! Maybe I'll have a fighting chance to increase my K/D! De Nada. If you ask an honest question, you should get an honest reply and that you were looking help it is only fair we giving the best direction we can. Ultimately the best direction is to play and enjoy the game and not get too hung up in the detail. The more you play the more you find yourself and the better you get at different things. There was something S1ckmad3 mentioned in the form of a sniper rifle (unlocked a lvl 12). It's a completely different discipline with plenty of transferable skills. Invest in one and see if you can take on Annie Oakley with some potshotting at players trying to deliver HPV at the docks. Also play different missions such as Crystal Clear Out 2 when it becomes available on the start menu or some gerald missions. Try an play these missions with all the different weapon you have and in as many different ways in order to find and perfect your style.

MrCamo Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 There no weapon to compensate for Socom skills. Always push up on the right joystick when aiming/firing. Use the cover system on corners if the opponent is not too close. Start shooting ASAP and don't stop until you are sure they are dead. Also don't go blindly around corners. This is a Third Person Shooter not FPS. There are pros and cons to this but the bottom line is watch your radar and move with purpose. If you see a blip and look around the corner and see nothing, they may already be in cover waiting on you. Try to BE the guy waiting around the corner.

Biggie Kaniff Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I'm not sure if anyone actually said this you use R2 to blindfire from cover. On ps3 that is. Using that kind of way to fire does not expose your body as much as pressing L2 to aim and fire, R2 with a shotgun could come in handy if you got a player or npc enemy nearby, while in cover. Good luck with your gaming experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cudwieser Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Nice idea about the shotgun with blind fire. It needs to be the sawn off or bullpup though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
