Circle strafe how to#

It really does help, so when you aren't being attacked by anyone, go somewhere quiet and practise the technique again and again to keep it in your head, and then you will always be ready when anyone tries to take you on. Remember one thing though that really helps me stay good, when you aren't being shot at, find an object nearby (like the Red and White boxes at the ariport) and practise the strafing over and over, and as soon as someone comes near you and fires an RPG, you will be able to kill them instantly because you will automatically go into the circle pattern and it will be impossible for them to get a good shot. When you are sure that you are ready (it will take time, but soon you'll be so good at it people won't be able to kill you), join a multiplayer match. Keep practicing on the Red and White boxes every so often though to keep you familiar with the circle technique. When you have gotten good practise, get the cops involved, again the Airport is best for this because of it's open space.

And then you can show those stupid 'GTA Pilots' how to actually skillfully take down a target. Remember this won't happen first time, but practise really does make perfect. When you think you are pretty good with the boxes, move onto the highway and practise on moving targets (use the same method, but you will have to use L1 and R1 more to keep up with the moving vehicles while still going in a circle.) Aim for big vehicles, like trucks and vans. Once you are familiar with this, keep practicing on those red and white boxes, using the L1 and left thumbstick to keep you moving in a circle while aiming slightly downwards ( try to keep the centre of the box in the middle of the screen at all times) It will take some time before you make good progress with it, but eventually you will be able to kill targets without even thinking.

And also fly around a little to get used to first person veiw (i like to fly between the buildings in Algonquin to get used to not being able to see the outside of the chopper) Keep practicing these steps a couple of times to get used to it. While holding L1, gently push down (not fully down) on the left stick, at the same time push the left stick a little to the right (so on a clock, you would be pointig at 1) Hold L1 (or R1), letting go every few seconds. Keep the choper steady and at good speed. Now, once you get to the airport look for the small red and white boxes (found near the runways). (Also turn cops off, you don't need them, yet.) So what i do is go to Multiplayer/Custom Match/Freemode/Set Private slots to Max. You should also make sure that there is nobody else in the game to annoy you. Go to the Airoport, best doing this in feemode. The Buzzard is good to start with, but there is no challenge in the Buzzard and i feel it's too easy to use. First, get into a chopper, a Buzzard is best for starting off with because it's small and easy to manouver, but i tend to go with the Annihalator. But after reading another thread on this forum (can't be bothered searching for it), i eventually got better.

I used to be complete sh*t at circle strafing.
