1. I answered your question both directly and indirectly already. 2. You are an incompetent player if you can't tell me where at least the approximate center of the screen is. 3. Do you need to know the exact location down to the pixel? [i]No[/i], because like I already said, hip fire is random so it will be going every place but the red dot on your screen. [quote] Are you implying that if people can't always just have a mental picture of where the center of screen is, at all times, then that somehow makes them an incompetent player.[/quote] 5.i'm not implying that every player knows the location of the reticle location [b]at all times[/b], but any good player has the awareness to keep track of something so basic as the screen direction most of the time. 6. I'm not sure why I need to elaborate on the definition of incompetence. It's lacking the skills to succeed. In a [b]shooter[/b], lacking the ability to shoot things without $30 handicaps is incompetence.
