How learn to aim...(Cs:s)

If you're the type of person to read a article to help you aim - you will never have a good aim, get out there concentrate hard and play, simple. (and yes my aim owns I can back it up too).

Aiming in CSS isn't the problem. Very rarely does the crosshair seem to have anything to do with where the bullet hits, hence why I play COD4 instead, as hit detection exists in that game :p

You think? I beg to differ, it seems to me that in Cod firing remotely close to someone gets a kill.

Im not gonna bother reading the guide, its just pointing and clicking and to do with hand to eye co-ordination, some people have natural ability, some get better with practise and some will just never be able to hit anything at all.

Agreed :)
 
From what I've expierenced in CS:S, shoot about a foot behind an enemy and you'll hit him, shooting the actual model doesn't do anything :p

Haha, but seriously, I don't know what it is about cs source, but I've never been able to fix the hitbox detection. There was a point where I tried everything but I just gave up in the end. Doesn't happen to me in any other source games.

It's so frustrating when I drop some bullets into someone's head, blood decals show up on their model, then they kill me and it shows the damage I dealt....0 dmg :(

There is only one thing you ever need to think about in css and that is:

Is my gun aimed at head height? When you see people playing why are they walking around lookign down at peoples chests. Why make it so you have to moev your mouse up to their head? If you walk round a corner and there is someone there, all you gota do is click and booom head shot. Should be a constant reflex to put your mouse bakc up to head height.

If you walk round a corner and a guy is aimed at your chest and your gun is at head height. Unless he gets a very lucky spray or your reflexs are appaling he should be dead.

Also if you are a italy player and yu wana get top score in the game. An easy way is to go T and go into t side apartments, aim at the door from a off agle (not 90degrees to the door) and there head will appear just as they walk about mmm half way down the lil L junction corridor into your side and you can pop it every time. Racked up so many easy kills just doign that alone. Its amazing how many people beleive that if they walk slower at you they can pop round and kill you. No it just makes it even easyer for you to hit them!

And once perfected you stand pritty close to your exit door. it means they can never flasjh you properly as you can run out and back and still be ready to kill them when they run into your side.

You sound like a bit of a pro. I used to play CSS to a high standard fancy a 1on1 and we'll see how 'easy' it is to be a pro? talk more crap pls.

I think that would be a bit pointless considering i stoped playing about 2/3 years ago. The last time i went back on it with a friend they had strange things where the guns keep costing differnt things and the map had been changed a lot which i dont think was really needed. I dont particualy care what you think. Before i stoped playing i was rank 2 wid the ak on tesside which is one of the most popular serves on css when i was playing and id oubt much as changed my arch enermy was Elton who was rank 1 of the M4 who i used to play against hes nnow turned into a real ***** as well as i talked to him on xfire a bit reasently. yes they did have rankings but it was on a separate website not in game. I got baned however for being under 18 which was stupid tbh. I took a break from the game and relised there is more to life then playing css which is actually a really repetitive game. I doubt ill go back to it as there are better games out.

You also demonstrate one of the reasons i cant be bothered with the game anymore. Its full of people gonig round saying yeah im pro im better then you. Half the time they little 12 year olds with their see through walls.

I dont particualy care if you think i talk crap or not. Perhaps only people who play it every day of their life know anything about CSS. I serpose your reply will be ooo sure you stoped palying 3 years ago. Yes im glad i did the community has done down hill so fast. if you think that having your gun at anything but head height is a better idea then you clearly arnt what you claim to be.

CSS is only about head shots. Why aim anywhere else?

If you think its not that simple why dont you actually watch other peiople play on a public server. 80% of that server wont be aiming at the head when that enermy pops out. It sounds imple because it is. They simply wernt aiming there. Then when they poped out they clicked the mouse and they fired at the gut instead. The other guy was aimed at the head and he moved it to the side a bit and clicked and won.

Seriously though why do people make these guides? Its really not that difficult, just aim and shoot at the torso/abdomen and hold the left mouse button cause it will lead up the body to the head. Pretty simple.

I agree with both :)

I played CS ages ago (1.2/1.3?) and it was ok, but I stopped playing it due to the cheats and whining.

I play CS:S atm, but the netcode (& sometimes the recoil) seems so dodgy and random. I can't remember CS being that random. I've thought about getting 1.6 just to see if it's any good, but the graphics seem really bad & I think it's really past it :confused:

I agree :)

That is basically all you need on a lot of maps, just aim at head height and keep it there & fire in bursts. Most of the time you get the kill (unless the server is laggy or the other bloke somehow prefires)
 
bursts of 2 shorts aimed at the head usualy work best with the ak. 3/4 tends to add to much recoil. Espeicaly if you are say, in the market where you strafe across the entrence at head height.
 
well tbh cs:s is really complicated game more then others, as is not point were your crosshair is and shoot and kill. there is recoil when you shoot the weapon and your gun goes up bullets don't fly strait if you spray like in real world. thats why people find hard coming from some other fps game to play counter strike source. because if you crosshair is on enemy's head you might still miss so to know were to aim in the game and reaction is really important.

and people who are saying game is **** they probably tried it out and could not play it normally as they kept missing the shots in other words got owned ;)
 
I agree with you that you cannot play css and other FPS. I went off played BF2 for 2 years then a bit of rainbow six and i really lost that reflex. But i prefer bf2 now anyawy.

You only get recoil if you keep your finger on it. One shot at a time from either ak or m4 very very little. I think by the time you are trying to improve your aim, you've learned to take it easy on the left mouse button.
 
1.learn how the guns recoil. (stand a bit away form a wall and just hold the trigger, notice the shapes made, a big T or a P for instance.
2.Combat that recoil so it all stays in a nice headsized compressed circle.
3.Enjoy killing people more.

2a. Only shoot one shots. But that requires learning timings of how people play and how long it takes to run from a place.

(Example: a sniper shouts t spawn on dust2, I am waiting at A long so I know it takes 'n' seconds to run that distance through the doors. I pre nade like a berk, scare them out and hoorah shoot him in the face.)

i know man i been playing the game 4 years :eek:

Then you shouldn't be playing the agme if you were looking to learn how to aim after 4 years. Although i suspect you wernt posting this because you needed it.

Plus you should try some other games. After CSS most fps are easy as they have more accurate guns doing more damage like RB6 or COD4 or at least Bf2s guns are pritty accurate... expect their snipers in the first few patchs :confused:

Ak is far superior to an M4 once you learn the recoil i find. M4 is a spray and pray gun :p. Its first few shots arnt as accurate but its spray is significantly more accurate then the Aks.

The ak's first shot is pin point and its second shot is not far off. Thats why i say fire it in 2 shot bursts at head height and youll be popping them like no tomorrow. The m4 is best in longer bursts but not as good at long range over the Ak in single or 2 shot bursts.. Ak for live :p
 
Don't tell me how to suck eggs! lawl :D

I only ever double click the AK, unless its titsyup time. I like the M4 the best, even though it isn't quite the long headshot option the ak is.

Krieg 4tw babies!!! :D
