how to not panic when aiming?

[Skill]

try learning yoga and drinking herbal tea. Then read up on some of the lessons of buddhism. If that doesn't work then seek help

i do fine when many guys battle each other and i can shoot from behind :P but when i need to be face a face i get so paniced that i cant keep my aim target

I always panic when it says 5 kills remaining, i just get so nerveous i always ruin the game in the end.

[T@F]

lol the funny thing is i still do it now and then.
But i only play for fun,so i don`t care if they get me.

The players i hate the most are the ones that jump in front of you from nowhere,**** then my heart is in my mouth :P

Think of nothing.

It is the fear of dying which makes you panic.

Instagib kinda works, but if you're still panicing then your aim wont improve much anyway.

Try joining a server with the purpose of getting your aim right. Choose a new nick if you really want to. The aim is simply to get as many hits as you can. You will die a lot, but soon you'll stop worrying about the fights, your movement or dying and get some decent accuracy.

Then try adding your defence (ie making yourself hard to kill through unpredictable movement) and you should be ok

It wont come straight away though. Never does

Yea that's one thing I'm having a hard time with in UT3.

2k4 and 99 I was a slippy little frigger. UT3 people seem to be able to get beats on me easier. I'm moving faster, ducking occasionally, shuffling, dodging, occasionally changing directions in dodging... occasionally not dodging when I look like I'm going to dodge. I dunno. I'll eventually figure it out (not that I honestly care as much as I did in 99 and 2k4 though, kind-of not really as hardcore "gung-ho" as I used to be... kind-of a lot more interested in modifying videogames than I am at playing them.)

See thread poster -- we all learn

Then again, maybe its just the demographic of people playing... a lot more casual people were playing 2k4 than are playing UT3.

Tell yourself that you're better, you're the man, imagine your opponent as a fat, ugly, whining kid.... >_>

Drink at least (2-3) 40oz bottles of beer. Works like a charm for me.

Just play dead and maybe they won't shoot you...
