dqopb wrote:Arcaon, are you saying you don't use snaphud? I had an interlock with gnj where we discussed if it is possible to guess whether a player uses snaphud or not by watching his demos. And I was ready to bet you do use it! In comparison to other players who don't use snaphud or even cgazhud, you make absolutely no mistakes on the snapzones. And there is sometimes a well distinguishable switch from one to another neighboring snapzone in your demos.
You don't use it?

I feel like when you play at a decent level it's more about hitting the right angle instantaneously. cgaz hud doesn't show you the angle until after you switched strafe side. If you have to correct yourself after looking at the hud and realizing your angle is off then it's already too late. These are mistakes players like Arcaon or Hades rarely make, which makes me believe it's more about muscle memory.
I might be wrong here so I'd like to read what a good strafer thinks about this.
Yes, and snaphud shows that. Whilst the gazhud on its own doesn't tell you that.khetti wrote:Often a snapzone with a low value gives the best accel.
Sometimes you might even use an angle >90 (which in unsnapped-quake-universe would decelerate you) to gain speed.
Totally agree. But once you DO the investigation AND figure out a technique/route, huds may help to improve the performance by just showing where to aim. Providing YOU figured out the way to improve. You see, seeing where to aim is more accurate than feeling where to aim.khetti wrote:It's not as simple as memorizing some static angles to always avoid.
Huds wont save you here, but some investigation will.
CPM-specific hud is harder to implement. I mean I can't think of what it might look like. And the fullbeat cpm works well with gazhud and snaphud.khetti wrote:There's also CPM physics, weapon knockback, etc about which the defrag huds say nothing.

You bet we are!
