Those encounters never seem to go my way...
Scenario 1 is i try to knife him and he somehow kills me in 2 shots.
Scenario 2 is i try to knife him and it misses for no reason, then he knifes me.
Scenario 3 is he has an M60 so kills me before i have a chance.
yeah same here,
out of interest in this type of encounter do people aim for the head or the chest
Some people really seem to love it, but I always forget too keep spamming the fire button in CQC. I've been using the M416 recently, and find that a good weapon at close and medium range.
MX518, finally found a reason for being able to switch sensitivity on the fly.... damn chopper turrets are so damn slooow to turn
I've been going from 1200dpi to 2000dpi for weapon turrets from the very beginning.
Recently I have been running the game in admin mode and it has fixed the issue where the mouse cursor was in the wrong place and the gun turrets are also moving better - though I'm unsure if this is due to a patch or the admin mode.
aim??? I just hold down fire
Yeah I have to say that I generally just hold the fire down while straffing and spraying bullets all over the shop, at which point I either get knifed or shot with a pistol
I tell you what is annoying - when I do bother controlling my firing, shoot someone more then enough to kill them but it doesn't, and they get you 
.
^As above, aye its annoying. Suppose it will start to get better at level 15 when I can get MGNM AM.

Funnily enough, that happened to me, except i was the one being shot at. I must have had over 5 bullets hit me and i managed to get to cover and pop up and kill him with my M60. I had no armour on either, just the speed boost and magnum ammo.
Have you done the hit reg/ping tweak Aedus posted a few pages back? 6 Bullets will kill someone if they register correctly - if either of you are strafing, it could just be the server thinks you're missing, but the client shows you're hitting.
The hit-reg tweak made quite a difference for me - more so when I use a shotgun.. I no longer have to only aim for people who are staying still!

^^ Yup, I line up the shots, small controlled bursts - I see the crosshair so I know i'm hitting them, I do this a few times.....he works out where i'm shooting from and in a single shot or 2 downs me without any issues.
I mean what the hell is that all about.I imagine this is not going to get any better with experience.
It's extra vehicle armour.

I've got them all, and still prefer the XM8. Its one of my big gripes with the game tbh, that although its nice having unlocks etc., most of them are worse than what you start off with. Not that I would want some end level super gun or anything remotely like that, but a bit of progression would be nice.
crosshair means the client thinks you hit them, server could say otherwise. much like bouncing off people as charger on l4d2^^ Yup, I line up the shots, small controlled bursts - I see the crosshair so I know i'm hitting them, I do this a few times.....he works out where i'm shooting from and in a single shot or 2 downs me without any issues.

Hmmm... I don't think it does... I've shot people before and seen blood but no crosshair... I think if the crosshair is there, you have actually hit them
