Shooting to Kill

When it seems like you are getting that first shot off against an opponent and you still get knocked off it can be frustrating. Issues like ping, lag, and weapon type are big factors in shooting to kill. However, when you shot first with a good weapon and low ping, yet your opponent still gets the drop on you then it likely boils down to aim.

Medal of Honor has a sophisticated algorithmatic system to calculate motion, range, and accuracy for each weapon. The system is vulnerable to flaw, nonetheless, it is a surprisingly effective system. Accuracy of aim does count, and it counts for a lot.

Careful Aim Helps to Win the Game

If it comes down to sacrificing a split second in quickness to improve your aim, it's worth it, especially with the rifles, including the BAR. That first shot _is_ crucial. Finding your mark first is more important than shooting first.

First Shot Bonus

Little known is the fact that the Mohaa formula for projectile deviation allows for the very first shot in a game round to have maximum accuracy. For example, if you have an m1, and are in The Hunt map, it is possible to quickly put down a sniper in the Axis Sniper House from the threshold of fog vision with that very first shot. So don't go blasting off rounds in the air when you first spawn wasting that first most accurate shot which is allowed for by the game shot calculation engine.
