not compared to em.

He was at the top for that time but movement wasn't as developed to how we know it today. E.g. He played before the widespread use of crouch hop. He is a good Aimer - said players would acknowledge that but they also might call it quite elementary if that makes sense.

why don't you just download some of his demos and see for yourself?

sorry but Archi was one of the best AK out there. If u have already seen archi's csdm pov and still think that hes an accidental cs pro, u need to revise some basic concwpts od 1.6.
In heaton's case, i do agree with u. I never liked him, simply over rated crap.

He said "ancient" Cs pro not an accidental cs pro!
2012-08-24 23:56:52
omg! my bad there... :-D
2012-08-25 08:45:56
he would have been top 5 around 03 - 04 and perhaps into 05, cant compare him to today's players as its a new generation but of course players of today have heaps better aim.
2012-08-24 10:27:09
Compared to nowadays he is/was a fuckin' ubernoob.
2012-08-24 10:30:30
Potti and Spawn were better than him,I think he was a bit overrated but good player at all
2012-08-24 10:32:21
he was top5 in the times of 1.5

his aim was nothing like aim of today's pro players.
2012-08-24 11:29:57
in 2004-05 maybe today sure not

he was a ridiculously smart player with "good" aim... like f0rest.
2012-08-24 13:08:04
compared to Markeloff, Edward, trace, walle, GeT_RiGhT, f0rest, Neo he was BAD.
2012-08-24 13:13:26
no... he was a sprayer
2012-08-24 13:14:13
nah he was a good sprayer
2012-08-24 13:20:31
Nope. Like f0rest said, CS evolved to be highly aim dependant. You HAVE to get an instant headshot on an enemy or you will die. It wasn't the same during HidN's time.

Same with oldschool awpers and today. Newer players just keep pushing the envelope. It like any other sport. Today's best are generally in contention for being the best ever.
2012-08-24 13:22:08
bad/good as well as this thread is.....

what are your views???

Thread and aim are good or bad????
2012-08-24 13:23:27
Now he is a trash talker more
2012-08-24 13:26:20
he use to have a really good spray , but player movements ( have imprved a lot) in that times was so much easier to a player o hit them , so i dont think u cant compare him with anyone from that list that doesnt make any sense , he was a smart man with great spray

In CS earlier days, then certainly one of the best AK-aimers, spraycontroll, etc.

2012-08-24 14:03:16
I remember watching him out aim mTw.aTn (germany) awper's with a colt so yes he could aim.
2012-08-24 14:17:00
Don't ever compare and old school player like HeatoN with the likes of f0rest and crap. Theres no competition to HeatoN
2012-08-24 14:44:24
random newschoolers these days thinking they know shit about the old days :(

Who said we compare them (?) comparing Counter-Strike, HeatoN and NIP in early millenium is like comparing Brazil world cup gold in 1958 with 1994 world cup gold in USA, or something like that. Two completly different eras and development-stages of the game.

f0rest is the best ever, i know what, but chill pls, wether you like it or not, HeatoN was a force back in his prime and defintaly a milestoneplayer.
2012-08-24 21:51:00
HeatoN is better than both neo and f0rest
2012-08-24 23:12:18

HeatoN only knew how to spray
2012-08-24 23:47:24
He could master the tapping aswell, but since he had such superior spraycontrol at that time he used it to his advantage.
2012-08-24 23:53:53
In his time he was one of the best, but cs evolved
2012-08-24 23:52:16
hell no!
2012-08-25 09:17:14
good enough
2012-08-25 11:23:56
Yes in his Time if u know what i mean
2012-08-25 11:24:48
compared to f0rest, heaton = 0
at his time was good but nowdays i don't think so
