I really want to be a good sniper :c

yes, you can.
practice

*

You dont practice sniper by making threads on tftv, shut up already. AFL mge is open, AFL pugs are open, put them to use.

I know, but i can't be a good sniper without a good hardware :c

if you are not comfortable playing with your current setup, yes, your progress as a player will not progress very quickly

that being said, just practice, get used to what you have now, and then practice more. nothing about 60fps, or 120fps, or 1000fps is going to unlock some magical talent inside of you and make you a plat sniper or whatever, it's just regular practice and a drive to improve your game.

people who makes excuses to their slow improvement will remain stepping on the same brick

That's how I used to feel. "Oh man, I NEED a 120hz monitor if I'm going to get better!" "I definitely need better hardware that will give me high and stable FPS!" I mean, while those things do help, they don't help so much that you just magically become a better player.

I stopped having that mindset and opinions on having better hardware (in terms of how it would affect my ability to play TF2) and just focused on playing with what I had. In time, I got better. You learn to work with what you have. I can't imagine your PC is so bad that your best can literally only be so small.

Sure, I'm not great at the game or at the least as consistent as I was becoming, but that's not because of my hardware or whatever. I stopped caring unfortunately and that's what did it (aside from the work hours that interfere with scrim hours). But yeah, work with what you have. It's not like you're playing with 10 FPS. You'll be okay, man.

Also it's nearly 5AM and I'm incredibly tired. I have no idea why I typed all of this.

While having bad hardware will definitely make it hard for you to reach your full potential it will by no means define your skill as a player, only you can do that. To drive this point home here are some things for you to think about:

Blaze plays roamer at 100 ping almost every scrim and match and is still considered the best roamer in NA by many. Would he play better with lower ping? Absolutely, but he doesn't complain about his ping all the time he just deals with it.

I remember watching a Dummy POV where he was literally playing a match with a broken mouse. It was pretty insane to watch him aim only to have his mouse lock up and start getting all jittery, and then watch some magical pipes still hit targets.

I want to say that Clockwork had fps problems a while back too, but I'm not 100% about that so I'll leave that alone for now (feel free to comment on this someone/clock).

my old comp used to get 40 fps and i had a 60hz monitor back in s8 of highlander and was considered one of the best snipers still. so yes it's definitely possible but you'll stil be at a disadvantage compared to people with better hardware.

So i cant be as good as players with 120hz? :(

OMG do u still not get it? good hardware can give players slight advantages, but it will never make up for lack of dedication and practice. Now load up ur god damn game and play instead of bitching about your 45 fps when there are people still striving for their best with 30

Is 120hz monitor useful in 66 tick server?

I'll give you a hint: if you're bad, it's because you are bad.

You only have 700 hours total in game, so i don't expect you to be a very good sniper. I used to have 30 fps and i have a 1280 by 800 resolution, and my sniper performance was just fine.

Yes, a 120Hz monitor and a computer that can reliably get above 120FPS wil turn you into a god instantly, without even trying! You actually dont have to touch your mouse at all, it moves on its own and kills everyone and you become the best sniper in the game because you spent money, PAY 2 WIN!
This can be accomplished much more easily with a CRT as it gives high refresh rates at low resolutions so it takes less to get more frames.

This is the answer you want, now leave.

turn off your monitor, it's dragging you down

Worse than LinKr_

honestly ya hardware and stuff matters a bit, you will see an improvement
but it is not true all the time. you can snipe just fine with that fps. Stop making excuses and just play that class 24/7

Bad aim with a good monitor is still bad aim.

i play tf2 on my blackberry and still manage to go at least 11 ham

If you're whining about how 60hz is holding you back, then it's not the monitor that's the issue.

if you're at the level where you're asking if you can ever be better than someone who has 120hz because you don't....the equipment is not a factor as long as you're getting 30+ fps constant

People play on consoles with capped fps of 30, I'm sure you could play with a more precise mouse and 15 more fps.

spending a lot of time asking people how to get better instead of practicing will make you better

whats clockworks sensitivity???

I'm starting to think Apple is a troll.

Apple if you want to get better keep playing. It takes time to get good and having 45 fps or whatever doesn't matter. All you need to do is to pub on your favorite server and have fun... maybe you will get to know some people on the server and start a team. If you aren't able to be on a team keep pubbing and trust me, you will have fun.

Good Luck man and if you aren't able to get better than you are now keep practicing some day it will click (on a head) and you will enjoy this game.
