I guess this is a tactics question.

I'll keep the quickswitch in mind, but lately most of my firefights happen to be whoever gets the headshot first it's not really a thing with running out of bullets.

And also I'm not a fan of 1v1.

you arn't?  :narnar:


And for pepp  if you wanna switch normal then don't scroll just press your number and press on your fire button goes a bit faster then the way you do (on default config)

Hi there,

Quick- switching is really important.

Rizzuh's keybinds lets you (amongst many other things) quick-switch between primary secondary and knife with a single button hit. If you bind the 'quick switching'  to the 1=primary,2=secondary ,3=knife and 4= C4 keys above the Q, W, E keys you can instantly snap between guns using any one of the middle three fingers of your left hand (there are several other key bind you could use to the same effect, just use what you're comfortable with.)  

Also as soon as you have exchanged fire with an enemy and they or you have ducked out of the line of fire 'always' move to a new spot. If you stay put they will find it much easier to line back up on you, as a player will anticipate where they think you are and begin re-aiming as soon as they move back into sight. Even if you have only moved a few feet to the left or right your enemy will have to re line up on you. That split second is enough for you to get the first shot in. I think the official military term is "Stick and Move"  

Do come onto the servers if you can. Maybe you could try the weekends?
Apart from having a great time you'll soon realise that with CS tactics we may all talk the talk in this forum, but sadly few of us can walk the walk on the server

Ok, I've learned to be more "sneaky" I guess.  And I'm getting alot more oppertunities for kills.  The problem seems to be now that I can't aim for crap.

Gosh I wish I knew the name of this map... It has the apartments, the "bananna" going to the one bombsite, the apartments to another and 2 routes on either side to the apartments bombsite.

I was camping the apartments to watch our back (as a T). And I decided to be a tad daring and camp right atop the steps, someone came around the corner I unloaded on them, they didn't die, they turn around shoot once and I'm dead (headshot).  I think I only did 44 damage to them with a Ak and they had a silenced colt.

I tried resorting to aim maps. but as many of you know if you go on a Aim_akcolt map, alot of idiots spray the colum or wall in front of you, which isn't really aiming, they are just guessing that you're on the other side cause that's where you spawned.  That does me no good.

Then I tried aim_usp with the ramps. and the walls.  Basically I was on CT and 1 person in T was just dominating, they were camping one of the ramps, would pop up HS or kill someone, slid back down kill some more ect.

I couldn't get a shot off.  And when I did see someone they'd shoot me (if they didn't get me the first shot my aiming cursor would go nuts from being hit and I couldn't aim to return fire, which is just useless....

Any advice? I have 2 aiming pratice maps that I can play on my own. cs_academybeta, and tr_weaponstraining or whichever.  They aren't there great as they just show figures on the wall and stationary hostages.  Stupid me I put the kick on 5 hostage kills option on when I made the server and kicked myself from it a few times before I realized it.  Well, at least I got a laugh out of it.

-George^    yeah I decided to go with ^

George^ or is it -George^?  
And do you want your forum name changed to match?  Let me know if you do and I shall 'make it so'.

Aiming:
Fire short bursts of 2-3 shots only in rapid succession.  (more shots than this and the recoil from the gun means your bullets are probably missing)
Aim at the top of the chest/neck area.  Recoil will probably push your second and third bullets a bit higher increasing the chance of you getting that headshot as opposed to missing all together!
An AK at close quarters and on full auto is apalling inaccurate - the situation you described has happened to me too.
Run netgraph 3 from console to make sure that your connection is not suffering from choke or loss.  Experiment with rate, cl_cmdrate and cl_updaterate in console to get the best combination for your connection - this will make sure what you fire has a chance of registering on the server you play on.

Very short piece of advice, but I hope it helps.

[George^]

Changed name to:

George^

With no -

I guess I'm still at the point where when I see an enemy and they don't see me I just put my middle of the cursor on their held hold down my fire button and stafe like a madman.

I use a mouse made for laptops that's optical... it's dangerous for fine movements but when I get those big aiming adjustments I donno.

It's still rather hard for me to tell exactly where my first shot will go with my cursor using the ak or colt, of course with scout I know where it's going to go and I have that down alot better.  But people can still 1 shot me from across the map with an ak when I'm using a scout leaving me horriably disadvantaged.

I'm not sure on the cm rate settings, I'm not really into tweaking and I'd probably do more harm then good.

George^

[TeaLeaf]

And thus your name was changed.....

Practice the short bursts - it helps.  
Run netgraph 3 anyway - even if you don;t tweak it tells you if your connection is to blame for some of the misses.

Have a look here for info on tweaking - short sharp and to the point thanks to OB. There is also a small spreadsheet to play with if you want to get some good starting figures.

Blueball and OB you guys rock...

4 ping on a server is just godlike lol.

I went from getting 30 choke on 1 server to 0-1 but it's not a very good server, then went I resorted the server list my pings dropped by 20 on almost every server.

Now my shots should register alot better, well back to working on my aim...

We're just passing on the stuff we pick up in other forums/sites. Glad it helped
