Techniques

Miller was one of the first Counter-strike players to use the "quickswitch" technique. In this technique, the sniper switches to another item such as his pistol or grenades and then back to his sniper rifle. This allows the player to move at the speed of holding a pistol after shooting (shooting and not changing weapons will dramatically slow player movement), and also allows the player to fire another AWM shot more quickly. However, after an update to Counter-Strike version 1.6, this technique no longer works well since Valve, the company that owns the rights to Counter-Strike, added a 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, although this delay has not been implemented in Counter-Strike: Source.

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 1.6, however, the crosshair is removed.
