Very nice breakdown of your fights, this is the type of content I've been looking for as a new player. You got my subscription and definitely will be looking out for more videos like this. I have a hard time with tracking people from: 1. footsteps; a lot of hunters on UA-cam seem to be able to pinpoint exact locations and where to aim (and even know if people are in a room above or below). I tried listening to the direction of the footsteps a few times but just couldn't tell if they were behind a wall or coming around the corner of some nearby barrier... then get shot looking at the wrong thing. 2. distance; I'm always stopping to check if I can spot anyone from a distance and get nervous that maybe someone is waiting to snipe me from inside a bush or in the darker shades under trees from far away. People on youtube seem to just look once and keep it moving or spot them immediately while I'm sitting there watching their video confused about how they saw them from that far so quickly. Hopefully you can throw in some tips (and maybe a demonstration) on this in one of your upcoming videos. Cheers and keep up the useful content ✌
Okay, so a few things to start with. First you're running a headset right? Hopefully with 5.1 surround? I can kind of show some of this, but it's hard to show audio stuff.... I will do my best in the next vid or 2. AS for the people on youtube seeing stuff in bushes.... Thats likely the monitor they have and hardware in general. I'm playing with an Xbox controller, but I'm on steam with a 32 inch monitor and my laptop ( I know.....) is capable of running really high graphics at a good frame rate. That being said, I get dropped in bushes all the time, it does happen, but unless it's intetresting, I rarely put those up. I play enough that if I streamed everything or tried posting every match, I'd fill my 14 TB harddrive every couple weeks.
@@StaticFrictionGaming I am using a headset, not sure if it's 5.1 surround tho. I play on my 15 inch Legion 5 laptop that can run 165hz (but I average about 95-100 fps when I play). However, I am considering a monitor (probably curved with 200hz). One thing I notice in-game is, I can kinda track footsteps by listening to which ear it's the loudest so when I face that direction and I can hear from both ears equally, it means the footsteps are directly in front... and that their distance is based on how loud the footsteps are. Is that how you track people as well? What throws me off with UA-camrs is when I can hear footsteps (in their video) that sound very close but they aim at a different direction... then the enemy shows up exactly where they were aiming at and not where I heard the steps coming from on my headset. I'm guessing this is because they know the map really well or something 🤷 Guess I'll figure it out with time
I would suggest looking into your current headset. Most gaming headsets are 5.1 but you can always find cheap ones where ever you are buying electronics. As for the monitor, absolutely get yourself a stand alone. I have a 17 inch laptop, and use a 32 inch stand alone. Curved is really up to you, but I never found them to be my style. The extra price point is rarely worth it. I do this on the cheap, except the headphones which weren't nearly as expensive when I bought them as they are now. I know you can get 5.1 headsets for 20 bux. Ive bought them. As for hearing close footsteps and looking in another direction, if you're playing solo, it is curious. I often try to take care of the biggest threat first, and the times I don't think the closest is the biggest threat, is when long ammo has made itself known from the tree line. Map knowledge ( and this new map I'm still learning) is a huge aspect. If someone is right on the other side of a wall, but has no direct path towards you, the faint footsteps by the door are the bigger threat. It might be worth checking your volume on your headset too... I don't like mine blasting, but basically to a point where I can hear everything, super close range, unexpected shots might make me flinch a little, but too loud will actually hurt you in the long run... As for knowing how to track people with sound, I'll go over that in the next vid, (likely Friday the 30th or a day before) but practicing on AI is a good way to tune your ears. As you're running through the level, just kind of point towards the AI that just got alerted (Grunts, Hives or whatever) and once you get that and you're doing it consistently, Close your eyes (not in a fight) when something gets alerted, and point towards it, then open your eyes... see how close you are.... If you're just rocking stereo, up and down is going to be harder, but the sounds of water, dirt, metal and wood should help you once you learn the level.
Maybe they will hit the comments section? Otherwise your Hunt name isn't the same.... So they won't know it's you unless we happen to find them in a game, realize it's them, and you you start taunting them, which you aren't really known for.

Heh, great now those hunters are gonna be pissed at me because you killed them with a bow
