Steps

1. Like any competitive game, there is the knowledge of cards and terms to know which is acquired with experience, but there are above all parameters to set up and equipment to choose well

Settings

1. Video
2. > I offer you values that have proven themselves, but you are free to adjust them according to the power of your graphics card:
3. Brightness : 1.6
4. Color Mode : Screen Monitor
5. Hud Size : 0.8
6. Ratio H/W : Big Screen (4:3 stretched)
7. Display : Fullscreen
8. Battery Safer Mode : Disabled
9. Steam Notification : Right Bottom
10. Global Shadow Quality : High
11. Model / Texture Detail : High
12. Effect Detail : Low
13. Shader Detail : Very High
14. Mutlicore Rendering : Enabled
15. Multisampling Anti Aliasing Mode : None
16. Texture Filtering Mode : Trilinear
17. FXAA Anti Aliasing : Enabled
18. Wait for Vertical Sync : Triple Buffering (if you have a screen for)
19. Motion Blur : Disabled
20. Triple-Monitor Mode : Disabled
21. > Do not lose sight of the fact that it is a competitive game, so the goal is not that it is beautiful, but that you can perfectly distinguish the important elements
22. /!\ Remember, this is one of the few games that uses the processor more than the graphics card!
23. Audio
24. The helmet is mandatory to have the most faithful 3D representation possible during games
25. The 11 commandments of noobism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYoXwF_CkLI
26. Internet connection
27. > The fiber will be a plus to have a very low ping, but there are also parameters that will allow to have the best possible stability:
28. Open "Leatrix Latency Fix" (https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/landing.php?s=a776789e79b4690ca4b1c995112af48e&fileid=13581)and click on "Install"
29. Open "TCPOptimizer" (http://www.gratilog.net/xoops/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?cid=87&lid=581),import my configuration and save
30. Game
31. > The values at stake are a function of each, but there are very useful basics, such as:
32. Shortcuts to buy
33. Shortcuts for exchanging in writing
34. Scripts (change of weapon, display of damage, etc.)
35. Radar overlays with names
36. http://simpleradar.com/
37. Sensitivity
38. > This point is vital, you must find your own, there are a multitude of techniques to do this, such as:
39. Put yourself on a local server on de_dust2 without bots and unlimited ammunition
40. Getting to T spawn
41. Make a small hole on a wall
42. Position the crosshair on it
43. Make a 360 degree from the left edge of the carpet to the right
44. /!\ Adjust your sensitivity to find this value (__360__), because this value will make it possible to determine the following
45. Put your sensitivity on the minimum (__360__ * 1.5) and try to move a long distance, while trying to keep the viewfinder in the hole
46. Do the same with a maximum sensitivity (__360__ * 2.0)
47. Keep in mind the one you prefer (the referent)
48. Add the two test values and divide by 2, so (6 + 1) / 2 = 3.5
49. And start again, keeping the referent and this news, as new test values
50. Stop when you only have one
51. > It must be an extension of your hand, so you must be able to make mouse movements and arrive at the desired location, while being precise when shooting
52. /!\ Only hours of Deathmatch mode with will let you know if it's the right one!
53. What sensitivity to choose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddr6ciqnD4E
54. Other good similar video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxBuiD11WDM
55. Viewfinder
56. The visual (size, color, etc.) is according to your preferences, but a dynamic (or these variants) is very practical to have information on your shooting accuracy
57. Launch options
58. > You can add launch options, I recommend the most useful:
59. -console -high -noforcemaccel -noforcemparms -noforcemspd -novid -nojoy +cl_forcepreload 1

Materials

1. Screen
2. Since it is an FPS, a minimum of 100Hz is strongly recommended to allow a natural fluidity and an advantage in the playability
3. Headphone
4. > Privilege the rendering of the sound in play, then the comfort and lastly the aesthetics (if that matters to you), in this sense there are two headsets that stand out:
5. Beyerdynamic MMX 300 (wired)
6. Logitech G935 Wireless (wireless)
7. Keyboard
8. No need to think, a mechanical is essential for the precision of the movements, the brand and the model will be according to your preferences
9. Mouse
10. Prefer Plug'n'Play mice, like the Zowie brand (bought by benQ) used by professional players, because there will be no problem with Windows and the data will not be processed by third-party software
11. /!\ Disable acceleration of your mouse movements in Windows!

Techniques

1. Crosshair placement
2. Even if you do not know where the enemy is, you should always place your sight close to the edge of the desired wall and at head height
3. /!\ This will save you time and enormous precision
4. Sounds
5. Stop running all the time, jump all the way, try instead to position yourself and take a line (or hide, if others can give you the information) and listen to anticipate the next
6. /!\ Do not forget that this is a game where the sound is very present and therefore very important!
7. Travel
8. Always favor the movement on the side than in front (or behind), to keep the maximum precision and thus be able to shoot during a shift (rapid shot, shoulder shot, etc.)
9. /!\ Remember, just because you can't see the enemy doesn't mean they can't see you!
10. Strafing
11. > As said, it is better to move laterally, as this has a much less impact on the loss of precision, but it is enough to press once in the opposite direction to reduce the time required to have the best precision
12. hold "Q" (to go left) + release "Q" = maximum accuracy after 1 second
13. hold" Q" (to go left) + release "Q" + quick press on "D" (to go right, without going there) = maximum of your instant accuracy
14. Money
15. You must manage your money with your team, if we decide to do an ECO (so do not laugh to buy to ensure the next round), then everyone must do it, otherwise there will be a lag and therefore a weaker element
16. /!\ This point can make all the difference in a match!
