Counter Strike Source. Tips and Tricks?

Fair enough. I just mentioned it because I'm use to having one in other games. Seems like a lot of games there is basicly always a point when the two sides meet and the levls being small its not long till the group holds up and gets in their positions.

So is there a leader of the side as such?

yea me, cos id have the most kills and 0 deaths :p :D

scopes arent needed so much in this game because guns are very accurate for burst firing. basically forget all the bf2 bull****, this is a proper aim and shooting game and revolves around your reactions.
 
Okay so basic...Duck to shoot for stailbilty, try to keep still when shooting, if straving then tap other direction to pause very quickly while you take a shot.

Aim for the head if poss.

Silencers? Whats the run down on these? take away any power? Worth using? Stable you gun?

Always reload before going into a gun fight.

Kevlar and helmet are warm and cozy so wear them.

Nobody really uses the sniper rifles?

D Eagle is the pistol to write home about.

Gun wise??? Shotguns for close quaters? Rifles most of time?

When to walk and run?

Hey.

Just brought Counter Strike Source today. Normally play BF2 and before that Raven Shield.

Basicly I'm looking for some tips and tricks as I'm new to it.

What are good ways to play, techniques, do's and do not's?

I'm sure I'm not the only person new to it so shoot.

tips:

keep your cool, if u get scared and start running like a headless chicken you're gonna die

bump up the volume and listen, you can gain so much by hearing the direction of footsteps and in many cases the lack of aim can be countered by knowing where the guy is coming from :D

learn the maps, simple...you know the map, you can anticipate people :p

Dont be put off by people telling you AWPing is lame!

As far as I'm aware, silencers don't decrease your weapon's stopping power (or at least shouldn't), but they do decrease accuracy a bit (don't quote me on this).

Shotguns are great for indoor maps, like cs_office, rifles are pretty much all purpose.

let others rush in, let the enemy shoot them then you jump out and kill them whilst they reload.

Thats probably the main one I'd say. You can get loads of kills if you sit back a bit and let your team mates take the hits:)

They make the rounds less powerful and less accurate, not worth using really...

Never under-estimate flashbangs, they can be very handy to have:)

Learn when to walk. If its you left against a few others, walk. That way they won't be able to hear where you are and you'll stand a better chance.

The problem with the deagle, though is that it only has a 7 round mag, so you have to be careful with it.

Fire it like a shotgun, take your time and make it count. Its a good weapon to learn because if you can kill effectively with it you have a good basis for any other gun.
Making bullets count matters even when you have 30 and its fully auto so desert eagle is good for this pacing to your movements and firing.

Terrorist - Very low on cash - buy a deagle

CT - very low on cash - buy armour.

The reason being the CT gun is good enough to kill with and the terrorist is not, some will say otherwise but they are definetly not new to the game.

The basic CT gun, you can burst fire in pairs since its 11 bullets. Aim, fire fire, move/aim, etc

Aim for the high chest area if you can, the recoil may give you headshot which is often lethal and if not knocks their aim off

A silencer slows the round down and makes it sub-sonic to eliminate the crack, so it should make it less powerful.

As well as reducing accuracy, it also reduces recoil... Forgot to mention that:)

I was under the impression that silencers required the use of subsonic ammo to work properly, in which case you'd be using that subsonic ammo in the first place, thus adding the silencer would have no actual effect on its stopping power :confused:

Meh :p

Yeh you're right:) You can use a silencer with supersonic rounds but it won't get rid of the crack apparently, it'll just get rid of the noise from when the round leaves the barrel.

But regardless... the stopping power is reduced in CS. Just looked it up, apparently the base damage of the USP is decreased with it on, but the base damage of the M4 stays the same when silenced. However, with the M4, the silencer increases power loss at range.
 
id say a good tip when your confronted at medium to close range is to CROUCH mid fire... the amount of times ive been up against someone at close range and im shooting at them then suddenly their hwad is 3 fooft lower that where you were aiming !!
i soon learnt to crouch when shooting, it really helps to loose the other guys aim, and ofcourse increases your accuracy too!

its been siad before but SOUND in this game is a MUST, i mean really you can hear more than you can see !

when your at spawn, your at perfect headshot hight if you dont move the mouse, it feels SO damn uncomfortabel as it kinda feels liek your head is tilted back, but get over that feeling and you will own with the headshots !... so in a nutshell, learn key heights in every map where head hight is, most maps give you big clues to work off, office is perhaps the easiest to judge head height.

never aim at peoples heads while theyre ruunning along, by the time your finger has reacted theyre 1 metre tot he left of right of where yourr shooting ! always aim just a little infront of their heads :)

lastly STAY CALM, and take your time... if it means your gettign owned over and over again for not being quick enough i dont think this matters if your aiming headshots,a nd taking your time and gettign good solid Genuine headshots, not just by fluke, then just speed that process up and youl be ownign in no time !!

If friendly fire is turned off, practise shooting teammates heads at the start of a round. Sparks will fly off their noggins and they will get really read me off because their screen/aim will go wonky :D

Or you could play it robocop stylee and practise shooting the bucket on the wall 5 times in a row (while still running) on the start of dust for example, the further it flies towards the archway before you have to reload the handgun the more skilled you are
 
oh man!!!
ive just realsied the best tip of all!

okay,
click on CREATE SERVER
chosse your map,
set the cash to $16000
untick all the bots waepons options
set 'bots to join CT' ( if you want to be on T)
this means they only have knives !
egt what ever gun you want and jsut shoot the livin day lights out of them... its REALLY good for aim practice

theres a lot of console entries that are useful too for this
( i dont have css anymore sure to a css adiction :P so ill try and remember best i can)

mp_limitmap 10 ( sets 10 players to joint he game, they should join the other team)

mp_autobalance 0 ( turns auto balance off )
if set up correct yuo can ahve 10 bots with knoves against you and its the best practicve you can get IMO for raw aiming, then give them pistols and see how you do !

Rick

also if soem one will giev you soem deathmatch server IPs theyre great too for gettign your skill up ! no pressure... just shoot !
