Aiming for the head

So always when I aim to hit someone I try to aim for their head but the problem is tha when I do so my camera ends up behind my character so I can't see what my opponent does/my awareness goes in the drain..

Any tips on this?

Thanks in advance  :)
I loot corpses of their golden teeth.
But he'll be around somewhere between Heaven and The Devil, because neither of them will take him in, and he'll be farting loudly and singing a filthy song.

i'll be there at around

Press the Standard key R to switch into first person view. Crosshair alignment is better too.
When west germany annexed east germany, nobody moved a finger too.

I never have this problem as an archer. I am always in the furthest view distance by pressing the - key.

idk, Always aim high and try to not lead is my only other advice, you'll pop heads!
Also, I have declared myself #1 NA hybrid thrower
Formerly known as Marathon.
As an NA admin, I am the most laid back and concerned with the ~fun of the game~ above all other factors. I've also been super inactive since Summer 2012. University takes most of my time, but I still find some time to play when i can.

im more curious about the fact, that some ppl manage to fight 3-4 ppl at the same time in mellee as if they view the combat from a different perspective, knowing who/when/what attack direction performs.

OT: seems to me like arrow headshots are a bit off, more often then not i should hit the head, and yet the arrow flies through like there is no obstacle, also happens when someone is about to hit me and jumps to avoid the arrow, and once again the arrow flies through his/her chest like nothing happened... :(

Pressing - will zoom out even further (not much, but it makes a difference)

Once you get a feeling for it, you don't need to actually see someone's attack to block it in a large melee like this. You can force people to use certain attacks with good footwork, so you know what they're going to do before they do it.

I actually have an easier time blocking 4-5 uncoordinated people than 1 good player sometimes.
