Techniques

Miller was one of the first Counter-strike players to use the "quickswitch" techniqueTemplate:Fact. In this technique, the sniper switches to another item such as his pistol or grenades and then back to his sniper rifle. This allowed a sniper to defend himself more capably with a secondary weapon, rather than watch the reload animation of the rifle. It is a common misconception that quickswitching allowed for a player to increase the rate of fire of a sniper rifle, however, this claim has since been disproved through side-by-side video comparison.Template:Fact However, as of Counter-Strike version 1.6 this technique no longer works as Valve, the company that owns the rights to Counter-Strike, added a new delay when switching weapons to the AWM. After switching to it, the player has to wait a specific amount of time before they are able to shoot.

In addition to the "quickswitch" technique, Miller and other professional Counter-Strike snipers have all used the "quickscope" technique. The quickscope technique is one that a sniper clicks the scope button and almost instantly hits the fire button. The bullet that is fired is a 100% accurate "no scope". The reason this works is because the +attack2 button (scope function) tells the server that the sniper is scoped already even though the scope has not yet appeared on the screen. This technique is very difficult to master because the sniper has to visualize where the aiming reticule (crosshair) is at all times as it does not appear on any sniper rifle in the game. However, in versions Beta 7.1 and older, the unscoped sniper rifles did have a crosshair, and the quickscope technique was much easier to use. In Version 1.3, however, the crosshair is removed.
