Poll: Accuracy...Do you care?

[Caligulove]

Honestly, if I think Im going to die, Im going to melee (when available)

and there are some games where thats all Ill do and be surprisingly good at it. Its a lot of fun to just run around and whack people. Its why I like the riot shield in MW2. Ill go rounds in that game just running up to people and smashing them

I usually do.. mediocre, but I get a kick out of it and think its funny. that or hopefully I could give them a good panic scare- or distract them

Accuracy is nice, but missing doesn't make me go crazy. It's frustrating if I'm aiming right at the guy and can't hit him after holding down the trigger for two full seconds though. (Melee beats you all)

 

[Knaas]

I do it the AMERICAN way! If it doesn't die in the first 1000 bullets you hurled at them, then give a 1000 more!

 

[Jinmasa 8]

i try to be accurate but when i cant do that i always say "might as well just rip up everyone with an auto-shotgun" lol

 

[LongAndShort]

I'm British like Sean Connery, not American like Shane West, so I don't shoot all over the place and hope to hit something (cookie for reference). I aim then shoot. Maybe that's why I'm such a good sniper in games...

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

I'm Aussie so we do both depending on the situation.

long range & medium range:be accurate
close range:spray
its that simple
if you spray at long range,you die
if you try to shoot accurately eventhough your target is right in front of you,you also die

 

[Sven und EIN HUND]

Generally I tend to sway towards the first option, albeit more casually... With the demo in TF2 you can't really be 100% accurate though, and it's my most played class

 

[rhyno435]

I do prefer a really high accuracy on weapons rather than firing rate, damage, or bullet penetration.

But on CoD4 multiplayer, my accuracy is somewhere around 15.76%. I'm pretty sure that's bad, even though I don't seem to miss all that often.

 

[Nova5]

Dude, when I get a magnum/sniper in my hands, people run. Or at least serpentine.

Speaking of which, I'm gonna go play ZPS...

 

[Lt. Vinciti]

If I miss the first shot with a sniper I prefer to just wildly fire in that general direction. Magical Headshots FTW

I'm British like Sean Connery, not American like Shane West, so I don't shoot all over the place and hope to hit something (cookie for reference). I aim then shoot. Maybe that's why I'm such a good sniper in games...

i try both sometimes i shoot my assault rifle in single shots/burst fire if im low on ammo or just go rambo on them

 

[Orbot_Vectorman]

My solution to life's problems? Bring more dakka. Unless accuracy is absolutely neccesary, i prefer to just spray everything with boolets.

jLawl 40K reference... any way , as for me, my battle plan changes pending on what weapon I get... if I have a sniper rifle, I sit, and aim. Or if I have a machine gun, I run in and shoot any thing that is shaped like a person, or any thing that moves.

 

[Enigmers]

I try to do my best, but I don't fret over missing. It's more efficient to just shoot again.

 

[Littlee300]

I shoot like crazy until he dies. Main goal is for enemy to die, not accuracy

 

[Blindrooster]

I love to snipe. They've yet to give me a sniper i could spray and pray with.

 

[James Raynor]

If your firing a slow weapon ten of course.


If you have a rapid fire weapon accuracy helps of course.

 

[Vergast]

my favorite gun from call of duty (pre modern) was the lee enfeild.
I loved its accuracy and its large mag size (larger than the K98 anyway) Which ment you got some real nice shots.

Aaaaaaacutally the Lee Enfield was an unreliable rifle. But because its in a game where no gun jams or breaks, it SEEMS good, because american/allies devs. want you to think that.

no gun jams in games man... And if they wanted you to think the allies guns were awesome why does the thompson suck? The lee enfeild was not unreliable, it was heavy as hell but not unreilable. But lets not nit pick on an aspect that seriously no one but you or I care at all for.

 

[Shurikens and Lightning]

1 shot 1 kill.

While my accuracy is usually low in games I never spray. I am a long ranger and will melee if they are too close to shoot at.

 

[Haunted Serenity]

One shot, one kill and if by fluke more than one eh thats ok with me but i don't aim for them.

 

[Banana Phone Man]

In MW2 I use a triple shot gun the M16A4 so it pays to be accurate but if a person is hiding I will either spray until I get him or if not spray and then leave a few bullets in the clip. When he believes I am reloding he pops his head out then BAM! Accurate head shot. If you mean that accuracy is a measure of skill then I don't care about it but it is always handy to be very accurate.
