Does a higher resolution help with long range targeting?

[icehollowpoint]

I always wondered if playing at a higher resolution helped with "bullsh!t" shots?

I play at 1024x768 , just wondering if anyone can confirm higher resolution has enabled them to perform those kind of shots at longer ranges?

[GruAncH]

Good question its prolly easier to pixel shoot at a lower resolution than a higher but when scoping at range I have noticed with a lower sesitivity mouse it's harder to centralise a headshot it's always slighty either side

[EvilRooter]

My call is yes. The higher the better, maxed out on my 24" screen

i play at 1680x1050 and it doesnt make me a better shot.

took quite some time to get used to the change in resolution but i wouldnt say it makes you a better shot although you can see more things much better.

[EvilRooter]

true, maybe not so much a better shot, maybe better situationally aware, from being able to see better

[1rankman]

id say that tanking with better the screen and graphics the better you can see
i no this is im about to sell my computer with a 5600 nivda and i got and used a 8800gts and you cant see people past 500meter (something like that)
but its better to have bad graphics looking in to long grass

i found tht the game crashes more for me if its above 1024x768. i have no idea why tho.

GFX card overheating?

I used to be pretty average when it came to raw kills on the scoreboard. But then I got my new PC (towards the end of 0.5 / beginning of 0.6) and I consistently topped the scoreboard and took down nearly every opponent I came across.

Higher resolutions are a godsend, but equally so are higher framerates. If you've got a constant 60FPS and above, you're already at an advantage.

My new PC is running 1920 x 1200 on a 24" LCD with 60-90 fps depending on the map:
1 - its a lot more prettier but as mentioned by 1rankman, you now lose sight of people in long grass, etc
2- IMHO higher fps is a lot more advantageous than higher resolution
3 - it hasn't made me a better shot at all

[bishos30]

No.

I cant hit nothin anymore.... :(

1280x1024. But framerate is way more important than reso. A larger resolution scales everything up so targets become bigger ect, but if your card cant handle it then higher fps >> higher resolution.
