Perhaps the oldschoolers are used to playing with low resolutions and it's easier for them to keep using it. DUNNo tho if there's another reason :|

SSTTAARR

even the "new" players seem to use low res so i dunno ^^

f1tch

i know that i play better at low resolution (on lcd :@) so i guess it's just whatever they feel most comfortable with.

nsis

low resolutions look crappy with a TFT. But the oldschool players are used to play with those resolutions, so it's just what you're used to. stick with it :)

On low res your crosshair is smaller and the models of ppl are bigger so it's a bit easier and more comfortable to play on it

espeeiks

for me it just feels better to wacht a smaller screen than a larger one...

the game feels smoother to me in low resolutions when playin with a CRT

jonas

smoother, better recoil, just for me or how fisker said in SK FAQ "800 looks so slow for me, like I had an armor" or whatever he wrote it

nsis

800 isn't even a high res if you think about it. but it was a quote :)

bomba6ko

i play with 1024* but before i was with 640*

I use low resolution because of the recoil is smaller. CRT > TFT allways, not even pro's are playing TFT unless they are forced to do it :)

CRT + 640 FTW!!!!!1111!!!!1!1!!!oneoneone!!!11

wash your heads babys play with that resolution with you play best thats all !

why a small resolution? well: a better response frequency for the monitor , meaning that your aiming should be better , the target is more visible , but on distance the objects , windows and others are not so visible so it might not be an advantage for you :P , still I recommend the 640x480 resolution

It's just perference. With lower resolutions you will be able to get more HZ which smooths the gameplay.

Well, i tried both 800 and 64hltv.gotfrag.com:3100, decided to stick with 800 cause its more ployvalent "meaning you can see better from far even if for close encounters 640 would be better)
thanks for the help :)

i dont think there is something special ... cuz ex-player of SK - SNAJDAN played at 1024x768 but SpawN plays at 640x480 and both are the best ....

Em7

lol -- i play at 1152x864

Robbie89

j use 800 dont ask why guess im old-school :).Its easer to me,bigger head for shotting. J tried 640 but its not on my whole screen and j hate when that happens black a round the game yah.so its 800x600 for sure!!!

N1kzo

640 since day i started playing in 2003. I have used crt in the past but at the moment lovin viewson with 2ms response time :D

Julika

thats why i play 800*600 , hehe

xenon-_-

i play 640*480 becouse when i started to play, my computer couldnt run the game at 800*600 or even more ...

pin2k

no no no no and NO !!
GAMERS are using low resolution like 640*480 or 800*600 because they are less pixel than in 1024*800 or 1280*1024 ...
So when you shoot 1 pixel next the head in low res you'll HEADSHOT !! and in a high res if you shoot in 1 pixel next the head , you'll MISS !!
It's not exactly that , but i the idea !

bye ;) i hope i'd help you ^^

SSTTAARR

actually, it'be more like the otherway round =)
