Thank you testforecho for responding. I agree with your statement that playing against humans is best. I mostly play NQ, with a little silent and jaymod mixed in, a touch of etpro also. From NQ, my accuracy usually goes up 10%-12% when I play silent and jaymod. Headshot numbers increase also. I feel NQ is harder, so it is my preference to play with my clanmates and visitors. I can lead in headshot numbers, and if my accuracy is 30%, then I've had a solid game. But there are certain players that I can't beat constistently. I'll lead them numbers wise, but in battle they beat me 75% of the time. Sometimes my xhair will be directly on, or they are doing the medic-dance (strafe) through my dot, and I won't register a hit. It gets frustrating, so this is what brings me to the idea of training.

Sometimes I visit the F|A jaymod server, and hold my ground and excel in the map. I can finish with 100+ headshots (can be attributed to so many players there to shoot at). But there seems to always be "that guy" there owning everyone. I've see a guy with over 300 headshots recently, very humbling to see those stats. I've tried to play opposite of these players, but I always lose.

I play at my monitor's native resolution of 1680x1050 60hz. I recently lowered my cg_fov to 90. Could these settings be affecting my accuracy and headshots? Would a lower resolution make the player models appear bigger? I've changed the settings before, but the quality goes down, so I don't really play very long with the lower resolution. Just want to eliminate hardware and software factors before totally blaming the human factor.
