What makes one player better than another?

[*DAMN Silent Killer]

My reasons for sucsess

1) Aim
2) Use of secondary
3) Connection
4) Dancing

Omg Yoda u had to make a Thread just because u say u own me. I say ur better 1v1 and im better overall and wtih Teamwork. U didnt have to make a thread about it.

[?(uNt?YodaTi.Hfa]

I made a thread because i was genuinly curious.

i noticed some people (who shall remain nameless, and i trust them to stay out) said they were bad in 1v1 but were better overall

Obviously, either you didn't read the entire post nor the topic post or you don't care to conduct an oraganized thread. The above post is exactly what i didn't want in this thread. Please delete his post, and i would suggest a warning, he doesn't seem to focus on the topic in many of the threads he has posted in. I don't think i have the authority to say this, but as a user of the forums i think it would make it better if the standards were raised, not much but to the effect that spammers are not tollerated.

Back to the topic, another thing that I think is important is the ability to hide and infiltrate (stealth). If you get behind a person it doesnt matter how  fast you aquire the target because most of the time he's aiming.

Well, I get acused of having Body Armor and an Aimbot,

Talk about tooting your own horn. lol

[koS vip3r in MD]

It's probably only Typhy that accuses himself of aimbotting.  Who the hell accuses others of aimbotting in RS?!  I doubt Typhy has even seen an aimbot at work.

Why is it when a thread about how to be the best RS player pop's up it's always the ?Ks telling you how in big long paragraphs?

[Typhy]

Viper you fucking dumbass. What the hell is your problem?? 'Til you got me ban from GameRanger, I'd never even fucking met you! Also, I go through this thread, and I see one thing that I wrote that was a few paragraphs, other than that, nothing posted by an |?K|. Viper, I acepted that you got me ban from GameRanger, but now I've seen some things that you've said, and I detirmined that you're just a fucking idiot. You say "Who the hell acuses other RS players of Aimbotting". - That comment is so you, you suck at RS, so you've never been acused of having an aimbot, the Cunt clan acused me in a public forum of having body armor. There are so many cool KoS, and then there are just a few assholes like you that give the whole clan a bad name in my thoughts. - Fuck you Viper.

ok, i'll try to bring this back on topic here

all of you have left out one major thing(cow was close to it) and that is strategy.  i like to try to out think my opponents.hide in plain sight, when they think you'll go left, go right, that sort of thing.   if i come up behind you ar from the side and you're focusing where i should be, i don't care how well you aim or dance or how well you use your secondary. unless i seriously fuck up, you should be dead, and i shouldnt even have been shot at.
that brings me to another point
situational awareness.

know when something isnt quite right. know how many enemies have been killed, and how many team mates do you have left. check around you at all times. if you do that, then you cant be flanked, because while i'm setting up my shot, or rushing towards you, you'll turn around and can probably blast me while i'm still in the 'oh shit' phase (remember most humans have a reaction time of 3/4 of a second if they KNOW something is going to happen) look around you occasionaly.
and know the landscape. bullets cant come through walls, thus reducing the angle you have to watch. it also helps when you have been cought by suprise and need to high tail it out of there before they  make you into a piece of swiss cheese

[bronto]

doy, i got accused of being invincible.

[kos.viper]

Sorry Typhy, I'm just sick of arrogant ?Ks, that's all.  Nothing against you.

[Typhy]

Well Viper, you've got nothing to be sick of in that case based off of this thread. - I made a long post explaining what I've found to be good tactics, I appriciate you're saying sorry though.

[+-KoS-+ Tech N9ne]

Ty Brian...finally not one retarded reply on this post. Brian basically hit it on the dot. I mean when u guys play do u THINK! that is the key to rs. I mean i dont know about u guys but that is why i havent carried hbs forever. I basically know where everyone is at all times...if i dont know exactly then i know the general area. The key to RS is to use ur head..fuck your aiming their is not one person who can aim so much better than another when it comes to being l33t. Anyways Brian thanks for finally getting this shit straight.

i've read alot of interesting bs about "team players" and "teamwork" making someone  a good rs player...

teamwork is a definate aspect of RS, but, if your teammate dies before you in a cb, and your facing 2 people on a diff team. its much better to be someone who can be clutch in situations were your outnumbered, rather than a team player.
and like tech mentioned, its all about using your head, just visualize were people will be, you pick that up though experience with maps

[Oso]

yep, brain got it pretty well, one thing he didnt mention, is how your enemy will play. Though i dont know if this wasnt mentioned, but most elites know where their enemy is heading. Also the "l33ts" know how to get out of heavy fire fights alive.

And above all, all "l33t5" know how to use c4 very effectively.  

[Brain]

like tech i also rarely use hbs.
only when i'm spotting enmys for others, or after a min or 2 when you have no clue where anyone is any more (met is an excelent example)

[Typhy]

Proably kinda an odd spot to state this question, but does anyone know how far the range of an HB Jammer is? Is it the same as an HB?

[Brain]

first off, let me say that i would log in, but everytime i click on a thread, i am suddenly logged out

i think this libary comp is set to not accept cookies

anyway to answer typhys question i think the hbs has a longer range, i've seen people come towards me on hbs and then dissapear after they got closer than a certian range

[bazy]

i like this new forum, all the good smilie faces  

..anyways, i'd say there's 2 simple, basic things that effect how well you play rs (or any online action game, for that matter):

1. Strategy
2. Hardware performance (computer speed, tcp connect)

Strategy, as most of you mentioned earlier is how skillfull a person is at shooting and moving, as well as teamwork and covering each other.

Hardware. I can't believe anyone would state this doesn't effect a gamer's performance. I find it hard to believe a person playing on a G3 yosemite on a 56 connect could beat someone on a quiksilver and dsl even WEEKly. I used to play the OOA's when the first started playing, (i had been playing for almost 4 months before) but they always beat me. I later found out that Rob was on a t3 connect while i was on a 56. Connection speed is DEFINETLY an effector in game performance.

Skills come with time, hardware comes with money, you need both to be a great player.
