I used to be good... ah, the days of bunnyhopping I remember... I learned how to do it well enough just before the update that eliminated it. Gah!
Anyway, I'm damn good with AK and grenades (look at my stats, how many times killed/killed by), but my weak point is sniper rifles. I "snipe" with the AK, that is I go for long range headshots, but the zoom rifles people use always get me. I've never been able to do it, EVER. I somehow lack the touch needed to move and stop in time for an accurate shot. The game does have inertia, so when I stop moving I keep moving a bit... dunno. So that's why I loathe awp and scout and the auto sniper rifles. Some seem to be able to kill with them without even thinking, the moment you're in line of sight (and often not even so), you're dead. I prefer direct confrontation, part of the reason I die a lot, and dislike sniping.
That's nothing against those who do it, I guarantee if I were good at it I would do it more often.
