To Jay:

To kill the Witch with a single shot, just stay right next to her (touching her, in fact), then shoot.

BUT, and here´s the catch… you have to wait for her to stand up. Then you can shoot at her body, or her head (so you get the crown achievement).

Just for safety reasons, I never kill her without the auto-shotgun, and I never fire just one time : D

Another nice trick is to get her from behind. She stands and she can´t hit you. I don´t know if this was already fixed.

To kill the witch with one shot you have to use one of the shotguns. Just walk up right behind her and blast the whole shot into her head. If she doesn’t go down make sure to keep firing so you don’t die.

“5. Set the “Mouse Filter” option to ENABLED.”

Assuming that nothing has radically changed from the Quake engines to Half Life (and thus Source), you actually want mouse filter disabled for the most responsive play. Having mouse filter enabled makes your input delayed to make it appear smoother, but to do that, it has to read the next X inputs, THEN update on screen.

Also, mouse acceleration is a personal preference – there are undoubtedly pro FPS gamers who use mouse accel very successfully (notably, Russian Q3/4 players seem very effective with it). That being said, I generally prefer no mouse accel.

Nice stuff though. Thanks for the article.

With the brightness thing, what the hell are you trying to do?! With so much brightness, you’re killing the game’s spirit! The game is supposed to be very dark, when the only lightsource is your flashlight and other small light sources.
