I have been playing TT for a couple of months now. I still get frustrated trying to aim AND hit. What am I doing wrong? Am I that bad of a player? Anyone with hints would be greatly appreciated. I love this game. Thanks : chineseknife

Well see, there is a little something called 'movement' where your target moves. Your supposed to PREDICT the moves and then shoot that spot. (Don't take this seriously, it's 3:02 AM, I would normally scrape together a long explanation and everything but I am TIRED).
Consider the possibility of lag.

Okay, I've been there with this game, maybe that's it:) ;) I know about the ping rates and such, so how do you avoid lag, if at all. If I experience lag, does everyone else playing experience the same lag I do?

Look chineseknife the very BEST way to aim is to practice and practice. It doesen't matter if you lose some games. Just keep at it and don't give up! Giving up is a very bad habit. I used to be bad too but I practiced and practiced to achieve my goal to be a good ThinkTanks player.

The more you practice the better you get. ;)

Enjoy ThinkTanks chineseknife.

Turn up/down your mouse sensitivity, I found that turning it up helped for me when I was starting off.

But yes, the thing to really do is to practice, practice, practice.

Thanks,guys/gals. I really enjoy playing in Roosters Realms(i.e woody, heckle,jeckle,foghorn etc....). How can two players be in two different games at the same time? And the lag issue. I'm on broadband.

Those "people"...

Are bots. There just renamed without the [bot] at the end.

(you can name yours in "game/server/prefs.cs")

Uuuhhhh... So there never was a group I was actually playing with.....well......do I feel sheepish! 8o :(

Hi chineseknife
dont feel that way - you just didnt know
On Realms - bird names are bots - except me of o course lol
On Dash - Phaedra - Helen etc (from TROY) are bots
On Leps Lair - bots are either a cat name or a food group like Snack or lunch
Believe me when I started playing 6 months ago I sucked at this game
probably cuz I am headstrong and also because this is my first gaming experience
I was frustrated many times but there is something about this game that intrigues me
Probably because of the complexity and comaraderie
As well as the competition
Join a league or seek out a bud to show you the ropes
I am no master but I am improving and like the man said
have fun along the way
Roo
Also on Dash and on Roosters Realms the bots are enhanced for practice
Better aim and more aggressive so keep that in mind! Hell! Their almost as good as ppl lol

To become a strong player you gotto practice alot!!
I'm playing the game a couple of monds now!
I trained pretty hard and now I can hit good.

Thanks guys- I appreciate it. I have been working on adjusting my mouse sensitivity as well as leading the shot and shooting while turning. How do I join a league(army)?
Also, I love playing roos realms and just got into survivor, which I really enjoy. I'm getting better at it. And the peeps you "meet" are really interesting. I am working on my first skin as well. I do loooove this game, my girl hates it:) :) XD *chineseknife*
