Biography Quake IV (2006–2007) Īv3k is widely regarded as the best Quake IV player ever alongside former Swedish professional gamer Johan "Toxjq" Quick and was defeated by only four other players: Anton "Cooller" Singov, Alex "Ztrider" Ingarv, Magnus "fox" Olsson, and Toxjq.

Not because I want to copy the settings, simply because I find it interesting how different the stuff players use and do well with can be.Quake Live, Quake IV, Quake III Arena, ShootMania It also saved a lot of time, using "battle proven" settings if you will rather than starting from zero and slowly adding more and more accel, then chance sens, adjust accel accordingly, and doing it over and over till I find something that works.īesides, what's wrong with just being curious?Įven now that I figured out my own settings and will stick with them, I still find it interesting to see what other players are using. I used the pro's settings as a rough guide line, I tried some of the settings, tested which of them works best for me and then tweaked it from there. So basically I looked at pro player's settings to avoid having the same thing happen to me when it comes to the amount of accel I use. Thing is just, that without other people telling them and without looking at what good players use and trying it themselfs, most players would never move away from their 5cm/360 senses, since that's what they're already used to and anything else doesn't feel good But once they do that, they'll be a lot more consistent and their aim will get way better than it could ever have gotten with that insanely high sens they used to use. Good example for this is how most players that are new to FPS games use way too high of a sens and when experienced players tell them 5cm/360 probably isn't optimal, a lot of them have a hard time adjusting to a higher sensitivity because they have completely change the way they aim. Once you get used to something, you'll initially do worse if you change the settings, even tho those new settings might work better for you if you stick with them for a while. And it's definitely possible to get used to sub-optimal settings. "Just use what feels good to you" obviously isn't bad advice, but at the same time what's feels good to you is most likely gonna be whatever you're used to. I like to know what pros use because it gives me a rough idea what kind of settings can work effectively.Įspecially since I started using accel somewhat recently and looking at pro's settings gave me a better idea what kind of sens/accel combinations make sense. who's settings would you copy? Use clawz settings because he won Qcon and then switch to different settings once someone beats clawz? Which wouldn't make any sense to begin with, because there are huge differences between what different pros use. I'm not interested in pro settings because I want to copy them. ![]()
