If you recognize yourself in the opening paragraphs of this post and frequently catch yourself staring at the floor instead of your enemies, you should first familiarize yourself with looking ahead instead of downwards. Consequently, you should also practice your spray control so you can adjust accordingly. Keep in mind that, even when you have perfected your crosshair placement, enemies will try to throw you off by crouching a few seconds after you start your spray. There are several ways to practice crosshair placement depending on your comfort level. This takes some getting used to, and you might notice yourself aiming too high or too low in the beginning. Instead of looking at the dirt under your feet, you should always look straight ahead, placing your crosshair at about the same height as your enemies’ heads. If your crosshair is removed too far from your opponent’s position, it will take you too long to reach your target who will be able to force a bullet through your skull before you can even lift your crosshair from the ground.
The main purpose of optimal crosshair positioning is to minimize the time and distance required to move your crosshair from its initial position to the enemy when you spot him. Not to worry though, as in this guide I will lay bare all secrets when it comes to crosshair placement. As a newcomer, this gap in skill can feel quite unfair and even demovating. No matter the reason, these ‘newbies’ are very quickly confronted with enemies who have long been learning to look for their opponent’s heads rather than the dust on the floor. There are various theories for this phenomenon, ranging from the fact that new players are still discovering the map and need to watch where they walk, eventually getting used to looking down, to the fact that view models are too large and players look down to clear more space on the screen to see enemies. The most common spot for new players to look while running around maps is the ground below them. Usually, the only prior experience new players have is playing casual game modes in titles such as Call of Duty and Battlefield, where they can get away with such mistakes more easily. One thing all newcomers to CS:GO have in common is terrible crosshair placement.
