Are you good at FarCry? Need some help. - Tech Support Forums

I play FarCry everyday and still have a problem with close combat shooting. I zoom in and out, always trying to find out what works better. When I zoom in with a weapon Im not able to have as much control with movement as in regular shooting. It seems like a car without power steering(if that makes any sense). Im looking for any advise on settings etc. from someone who is pretty good.

So you zoom in when you are fighting at close range. Interesting, why would you do that.

play around with the mouse sensitivity... if u find a good number it will greatly improve your shooting accuracy... also try and take out the enemies when they are far away

Find some cover and don't just run at the enemy guns blazing.

Again, you shouldn't need to zoom in at close range, unless maybe you're using a pistol. If you absolutely must shoot while on the run, zooming in will slow you down, but you'll be more accurate.

Also remember that you're more accurate while crouching or prone.

zoom on almost all games causes you to slow down. best workaround I have is either set your mouse sensitivity up really high and learn how to deal when unzoomed, or buy one of those new mice that allow on-the-fly sensitivity changes.

Well zoom in on FarCry is like using your sight for better accuracy. Im pretty good at this game but it seems like my accuracy need improvement. I dont always use the zoom. I was just trying different things to make my shots better.

Yeah that's usually me.............run at the enemy guns blazing. I think that I will definately use crouch and prone more often. On multiplayer close range shooting can be pretty tricky.
