i have no idea of how to improve at playing a FPS game called soldier of fortune 2, i have the keys set up well, i have a few stratagies on the main war maps, but i always seemed to get owned, and get ratios of 20/40, i do have the odd game where i can get positive ratios, but this is very few and almost never accomplish this in wars, PLEASE HELP! Laughing

first of all:
know your maps

map knowledge is key to winning (know where you can camp/snipe enemy players) and where you can escape to when under fire + all shortcuts

then ofcourse key bindings
do not use arrow keys to move but use the

qzsd buttons (for azerty) to move,
a for jumping and e for crawling
always use strafing to go round corners, never stay in a position for a long time and try to hide behind stuff as much as possible
know your weapons + improve your aim and reflexes by playing alot
also... from time to time look behind you for enemies

aim is best improved by coop'ing with a friend and trying to kill him while he tries to dodge as much as possible

never played SOF2 but these rules are standard for every FPS game out there

do note i'm not a pro in fps either
but i usually do end up with a positive kill ratio Smile

q = to the left
z = forward
s = backwards
d = to the right

only beginning players play with the arrow keys Smile

for following reason: arrow keys = to far away from all other keys to be of any real use

+jumping (standard being spacebar normally) is always important and with normal arrow keys you have a hell of a time to jump, move forward and aim + fire with your mouse at the same time (need both hands to jump + move)

also switch weapons with the number buttons not with mouse scroll wheel (reasons = takes less time)
if you have a 5+button move like me you can always use 2 buttons to crawl and jump on your mouse instead of keyboarding that (is easyer)

unless you use the arrow keys on your numpad (being 4826 and use 7 to jump and 9 to crawl)

btw on qwerty keyboards the qzsd will be different ofcourse

Constantly jump, especially in games like unreal.
Use highest resolution you can use, turn of annoying visual effects, make sure you have over 30fps constantly to ensure that you do not miss things cause of lag.
Know your maps, play a lot. And actually go on servers filled with cheaters without a cheat. You'll push yourself to catch up with those cheaters, what leads to your reaction speed increasing seriously.

in unreal jumping is indeed a necessaty
also learn to run away jump, turn midair and aim + shoot + turn arround again when you hit the floor and run some more

that's pretty good
sof 2 is pretty old now i think so... it's likely that the main player base will be pro's
so no real shame in getting your *** whooped
and 250fps is just sweet Surprised

well,

with a 3.0Ghz P4 with ht, 2gb ram (DDR2) and an nvida 7600GT it should be, as the price tag was, about 1 year ago Confused

Be prescient. That's my only advice. Of course, that's because I, too, suck at multiplayer FPS games. If only I knew what my opponents were going to do before they did it...

What is the purpose of jumping in Unreal Tournament? Is it just harder to hit or something?

I play America's Army on occasion and many servers have little notices that say "DO NOT JUMP WHEN YOU ARE SHOT AT!" Why do they have this rule? Its not like you jump that high or become harder to hit or anything (but the cool thing is when I hit them with a higher powered rifle when they are midair they really fly Silly

)
