    Want to know where your at with PS2? Simply look at your accuracy. There are many videos out there that help ppl improve, but nothing will compare to getting your hands dirty and upgrading your Rig. I'm not promoting CPUs, I just call it like I see it.

    Getting a Rig set up with an i7 or comparable AMD will net you 30-40% accuracy. i5s will net you 25-30%. i3 and G3528 will get you a solid 20-25%. I know ppl get frustrated and wonder why things happen the way they do. If you really want to improve, that's the key. You can watch all the MLG videos you can stand, but you will never reach this games full potential without some serious investment.

    Hey, I just want to make a perfect pie crust. I'm not interested in your weapon accuracy. Only pie crust metrics.

    That would mean I have the ****ties aim in the universe.

    17-21% on full Auto Guns
    Intel i7 4790K @ 4,4 GHz

    (well ok, I played on a laptop for the first half year)

    Pft, I've got a GTX 690 4GB, an i7 Quad and 32GB of RAM. I run everything on ultra at 30FPS+

    My accuracy is BAD. http://stats.dasanfall.com/ps2/player/EGuardian

    I'd give myself an extra 5% since I often waste waaaay more ammo than necessary just because. Sometimes I'll burn a magazine off just to be funny and make a teammate 'dance'.

    Ah the EM1 - nothing but THUNDEROUS Suppression fire. Reminds me of my old TF2 days, using the M1+W cheat code.

    While rig is important, actually aiming is more important. Don't be a scrub like me, I JUST HOLD THE TRIGGER.

    This is ******** don't trust him.

    Probably OP running dual core 10% accuracy and is looking for excuses to not admit how bad is his aim.

    20% is decent.

    30-40%?

    In what world? I'm unsure even the top players maintain a 30% overall even. Hell even with super controllable weapons and such sometimes tactics even dictate not shooting to hit an enemy. (Lasher users huzzah!)

    Concepts like suppressing an enemy don't agree with such assessments not to mention 30% would be generous for even pretty good players to maintain...

    I'm running a six core amd and a gtx 970, easily run over 60 fps by the OP's assessment I should hold onto 30+% accuracy easily. Nope, I try to sound or drive off enemies too much.

    In the Democratic Peoples Republic of Planetside, everyone is happy. Only happiness is permitted. Please share with the commune why Planetside makes you so happy.

    All hail friend Computer!

    That's why vanu are so good. Violet clearance. NC got good stuff cause of blue clearance, obviously TR are commie mutant traitors cause a Red clearance should have nothing good!

    Send in the troubleshooters! Remember, happiness is mandatory.
  10. Hasteras

    i5 here, normally get about 32% accuracy.
  11. Alkezo

    This needed to be stated? Its pretty obvious better FPS will generate better performance of the player due to smoother movements.
  12. IPLAYTF2

    40%+ accuracy with i5 3570 at stock speed

    You really don't know what you're talking about. Check dasanfall stats site and see the type of accuracy for "top" players.
    Supressive fire using infantry weapons as infantry in this game is probably one of the dumbest thing i've ever heard.
  14. Morpholine

    By what standard?

    My automatic weapons average in the mid 20% range depending upon when I used it and its individual values (i7 960 here), but my Lancer is right at 70%, so clearly I can aim.
  15. Shatteredstar

    You sir don't realize how effective it is with the lasher especially. People avoid being hit even a little like the plague in this game and if you keep fire going down range people are less likely to run into it. Been pinned in a building myself from rockets and constant shots coming at the door from a side, peek out to return fire? You'll catch damage.

    If you think infantry cannot suppress areas in this game you're out of your mind.
  16. FateJH

    I shoot at walls, Vehicles in the air, through doors and corridors to help deter enemy passage, at targets outside of my weapon's normal competency range, and so forth. I'd say that if you're so hung up on your accuracy score, you aren't trying hard enough.

    Granted, that has nothing to do with actually holding a target in your crosshairs successfully in a firefight but, eh, you weren't specific enough.
  17. SerasVic


    Yes,

    Having a high accuracy is an indicator of skill.

    But having low accuracy means nothing.
  18. ILoveLucy

    Do shoot well I be. Hit things no bullet drop well do i often.

    Accuracy per weapon, or infantry accuracy overall? I'll believe 30% weapon accuracy, but 30% infantry accuracy overall smells of aimbotting.
  20. bubbacon

    In relation to small arms accuracy Schizo. Sorry I didn't specify.
