The best trick for "seeing" is to hide your weapons. I know this is hard to get used to.... but I can't tell you how many times I spec a player and see their oppenent in the bottom right-hand corner of their screen, and they don't see him at all.

Use different crosshairs or colors of crosshairs and you'll learn what weapon you have up.... it takes awhile to get used to but worth it in the long-run IMO.

I took this advice from YD a while back..after the learning curve was over it made a HUGE difference. It also forces you to use your crosshair for aiming...and that means more hits. :)
