CSS - I'm 'learning' AWP...

[SideWinder]

Just playing around on a few Deathmatch servers - the ones where you choose your weapons - and i managed a decent score of 70 kills to 45 deaths or so...which is pretty good for me!

Either way, just wondering if it's anyone else's choice of weapon? Any tips? My default is M4/AK but it depends on the map...

I'm always curious about AWP'ers anyways and generally screenwatch people.

I prefer the AK. It can be as accurate as the AWP once you crack it and much more fun.

As for the AWP: keep a steady hand and don't always aim at the body (aim infront or behind) as the hit boxes can be odd.

Mmm, i haven't experimented much with the AK but it does seem awesome for the short burst over a long distance.

I always used to use it when i played CSS, i dont play it that much now but have started to get back into it. The best way of training is just playing against bots. Play on a private server with as many bots on the opposing team as you can handle. Then increase as you become more confident.

The second way is to jsut train, theirs no other way unfortunately imo, and having so much skill in the weapon does usually take quite some time. I used to practise 3 hours every day with it and thought i was pretty decent until i stopped and became addicted to WoW :\.

Right, i'll try that...i'm going to use it all the time on Deathmatch for a few hours, see how i go...i am getting pretty good at predicting the movements of people so i know where to aim.

70% of learning the AWP is coping with the amount of people whining and moaning at you for daring to buy one.

Oh so true!
