Alot of time I'll unload 4-5 clips from my Micro SMG on a guy and his health won't go down, yet he is able to kill me even though I have full armor and he has none.
I know about lag and all that, my ping is typically 140-150. This just doesn't seem like lag though. I know I've been told not to pay attention to the blood or apparent hits, only the health bar, but it's a bit frustrating when the health isn't going down and I've used 150 bullets.
Also how do you people play SA-MP? I am using a Logitech USB controller. Alot like a PS2 Controller, pretty much the same. I've noticed some of you have ridiculously good aim, how are you aiming so well. Another thing...alot of times I get killed by drive by's and the guy may not even be parallel with me, he is a few feet ahead of me but yet his bullets angle back on me like he has me targeted...it's unreal...and of course I die.
Also is there anyway you can mod a car and then save it for when you come back? Doubt it eh?
Anything else that you people think would help me...tips and such...

Hello there.
(https://littlewhiteys.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi282.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fkk260%2FIDmad%2Fsa-mp-017-1.png&hash=d491c9b2a0bb2ce5d6067f68b67f42cc580d29b5)
I think I saw u yesterday at lw's and I noticed u didn't really lead aim with your uzis. I recommend u to use keyboard and mouse instead of a controller. With mouse u're much more accurate and u can lead aim better.
Here's a vid I think u should see:

But remember that hitbox(the place where u shoot to make damage) depends on many things: ping, fps lag and bunch of other things all together but u can get a hint of one's hitbox by looking at his ping. The bigger the ping the more u need to lead aim.
Here's also a vid made by me if u want to see how much I lead aim:

Hope this helped ;)

First DONOT use a controller -Two reasons for this -
(a) I presume ur using auto aim (which wont work with/on samp) cus of lead aim (which idmad hs pointed out)
(B) The "controller bug" which means most bullets another player shoots will hit u (i hada controller once, everyone i knew could kill me)
No way of saving cars,
Also how do you people play SA-MP? I am using a Logitech USB controller.
On a PC in a room o.0
Also i have that controller for other games - nice choice lol :D
Hope the tips help -
As idmad says use a keyboard and mouse for samp - otherwise u will die soooo many times (though the controller is gd for driving)

ugh i actually was posting the exact same thing as you but you posted it first.
Ya, controller bug is a killer, FE if I were to deliberately not aim at you and at someone else, I'd still kill you.
D:
also don't do what that IDnub was doing in that 2nd vid as it's illegal here and you can get banned for it.
mouse and kb > all
-
oh yea don't do the switching thingy on lw's coz it's forbidden. I might do a better aiming vid for noobs soon to help them out.
-
lol

Whats surprising is i was gonna post what idmad said (parts of it) and he got there before me, lol
Ironry how we love u
-
Can anyone help me out with what controls they have setup on their KB and mouse?
-
default i have lol
-
Yeah I'm using default too (I guess most players do so).
I only switched the buttons for jumping and sprinting.
-
Default
Only switched the mouse controls for flying by turning off the fly by mouse
-
i always redo, ALL controls if needed, to be close to the same for every game.. w,a,s,d to move, mose to look, shoot.. ect.

I also use shift to sprint, instead of spacebar :p (maybe that's why I fail!)
-
try leaving sprint space, caps as jump, and Lshift as get in/out of car..
-
That would be so weird to get use to!! I use the VC defaults bc I started VCMP first, then got use to the keys and moved on to SAMP!
-
I use GTASA defaults for all my games lol :s
-
i made a section in general for controls listings.. "WHAT ARE YOUR CONTROLS?!?" i think its called..
-
Holy shit using KB and mouse and trying out this lead aim thing, it really improves my game, it's incredible. Much more fun as well. Thanks guys!!
