A perhaps more useful tip.. 

If you are pinned in the sewers on q2dm1, you can blaster the water to make the water entry sound, then escape out the other end.

When one reaches the point where they win some games and have moves, jumps, and aim down; I think, listening might be the most valuable skill to practice.

In my experience, you can get "played" by a better player if they know where you are.  They know by of the different pickup sounds, the order of the sounds, the relation to jumps, travel time, where you'd likely go given your current items and health, etc.. 

Certainly this is more important in tourney (1v1) than Deathmatch.

This could be a great fake out as well, if implimented correctly.

 Yes sound is useful however sound is to aim and movement as car stereos are to monster trucks and race cars.

    You know some good players that don't use sound?  We'll I know some better ones that DO, sound tells you where an enemy is, helps you place prediction shots based on the sounds (aiming) and gives you the edge to win (especially against somone who has no sound)--online gaming is supposed to be competitive, if you don't think so then go download an eraser bot and play with them because you just have higher ping online

and besides....you're a ffa player, grab a wep, spam, die, grab a wep, spam, die, grab a wep, spam, die--I can see why sound is not needed for ya.

The point is that this fake out would not work on people that don't care about sound. And your point is that it would work against you?

I'm not saying that I'm better than anyone here, or that I care whose dad could beat up whose dad or whatever it is that you're arguing with me about. I'm just pointing out something that should be considered when you wast over 2 seconds pullling out and putting away the nickel plated sissy pistol

That's O.k. I'm possibly the only one here without a quad counter because honestly if you're going to be THAT competative, what's the point in playing? It's just silly to me like those all black skins, which is specifically why I use psycho or claymore. Bright red so they can see me coming.

But anyway the stero sound in quake 2 is overrated. I know quite a bit of great players that also do not use sound and could care less as well. Yes sound is useful however sound is to aim and movement as car stereos are to monster trucks and race cars.

Ok, I thought you were saying sound wasn't part of being competitive.  Your point seems to be that 'this is a game' and you'd rather focus on having fun rather being competitive.  Good point in general.  However, I missed this in your post because I didn't understand your intention of posting on a thread which is about how to fake opponents out in order to be more competitive.
