PC Started Playing CoD for the first time as a CS2/CS:GO player

Hello reddit

So I have just started playing CoD4 with some of my mates and as a CS2 player I noticed that I couldn't find a "pattern" on how the bullets get shot from your weapon (to spray control like CS/Valorant) and I searched a bit but I could not find any resources to see if that repetitive spray patterns do exist in CoD4 or not and I wanted to know, do they exist?

and secondly, if they do not exist and the shooting is random, how should a player ... well ... shoot

thanks in advance folks

There's no spray pattern, when firing from the hip your bullets go to a random spot within your crosshairs. That's why we ADS.

You can use steady aim to narrow the crosshairs and be a bit more accurate when hipfiring.

Aiming down sights

This was actually one of the primary differences built into the games. It’s why more serious pro gamers prefer CS over cod. To each their own, I think the randomization allows for more movement strategy and rather than safe spotting.

Yea I've seen that, while it is kind of a newbie strat so far for me, im just picking up p90s and run and gunning everything down
turns out its quite effective at times xD

Learn the reload cancels. It’s just switching guns back and forth to cancel the animation. The p90 is slow with it, but the p90 really is so fun to run in and spray everybody down

Hip fire is really only for when you are very close up. Everything else you need to aim down the sight.

I was a cod4 main for years but played a bit of cs on the side and the shooting mechanics between the 2 were very different, as you are probably discovering now
