Does low resolution help accuracy in MP games?

[HeXen]

like BF or U3, i wanted to know if using low resolution is supposed to help accuracy? Someone brought it up and i never thought about it before but made sense thinking that more pixels would make the hitboxes smaller....or is this not the case.
I always game at native 1080p, so thought i'd ask.

that's retarded logic. on any resolution of same aspect ratio, object will fit screen in same fashion. only think that you gain is higher fps.

hit calculations for MP are not done on your computer, UNLESS it is mw2 and you are the host. Even then I doubt pixel size or aspect ratio makes a difference in this calculation.

no it does not

If anything, it makes precision aiming tougher (e.g. when you're trying to hit someone a mile away and their head's only a few pixels wide).

You'd be better off turning off shadows and lowering texture detail(if the game has the options) making it more difficult for people to hide.

Shadows help IMMENSELY in certain games, like CS:Source.

Same thing for the old Americas Army. Player shadows would give away an enemy before they even crossed the doorway.

ok, glad to hear. didnt want to go lower than 1080p anyway

Smooth gameplay with high frame rate will help accuracy in MP games. Don't want your games jerking around! lol 😉
