If you have just started play cs go, then you should read cs go tips for beginners, which will definitely be useful to you in the game. With their help, you will die less and win victories in competitive games and more.
Here, in fact, is a list of tips if you silver in cs go:
What not to do:
- You should NOT shoot at the enemy's legs, as you will take away a small part of his HP.
- DO NOT come out of cover as soon as you hear that a bomb has already been planted on the site, wait a few seconds and only then begin to act effectively.
- There is NO need to continue spraying unless you kill the enemy after firing ten rounds. You need to release the left mouse button, thereby stopping shooting, and only then click on the LMB again.
- You do NOT need to be in the same place. If your opponent saw you himself or his partners told him about it. The chances of being killed, or even blown up by a grenade, become greater.
- DO NOT reload your magazine if the area you are in is considered dangerous. This even applies when there are only 8-10 rounds in the magazine. If you start reloading, your opponent may hear the sounds of reloading and will attack you sharply.
- DO NOT leave a fortification or corner while your weapon is still reloading.
- DO NOT wear a helmet if you think your opponent may be holding a Kalashnikov.
- There is NO need to do an eco round on the terrorist side if you have $3,500 available. This also applies to the special forces side if there are $4,000 available. Also, if you are special forces, then you don’t have to buy a helmet if the enemy has practically no economy.
- You DO NOT need to stand in front of your teammates who have AWP in their hands. Since there is a possible moment when your sniper sees the enemy, fires a shot, and accidentally injures you, or even kills you.
- DO NOT rush if you are carrying a bomb. You need to play so that your opponents do not see the movement of a terrorist with a bomb on the map.
- You DO NOT need to run for a long time while holding a grenade of any kind (smoke, flash, incendiary) in your hand. This will not affect the speed in any way, it is better to choose a knife and run with it.
What do we have to do:
- When attacking, you need to go out and shoot through the enemy's default positions.
- When defusing a bomb, you can stop doing this, this will make the enemy look out and you can kill him. You can use slow walking (Shift key), the enemy will think that you are still at the site of the bomb site after you have cleared the bomb. This will increase your chances of killing him.
- Use blind grenades in those moments when you are also blinded. Thanks to it, you can extend your life a couple of seconds or, if you're lucky, blindly kill your opponent.
- To drive an enemy out of a bottleneck, throw an incendiary grenade there. It will also help stop the opponent’s quick attack on any point.
- Place it so that you can see the bomb from any secluded point.
- Study all the layouts on the cards you often play. YouTube can help you, there are a large number of similar videos with discounts.
- Study your team. Maybe someone knows this or that weapon better than you, so you can safely give it to your teammate.
- Be sure to stock up if you captured a bomb in the first or second round. Your balance will be approximately $4,500, which is enough for an average purchase in the current round.
- Master the ability to control the spray (spread) of a weapon, here again the familiar YouTube will come to your aid.
If you have your own cs go tips, then share them below in the comments.
Everywhere you need experience, right? But where can you get experience with this game on a computer if you have no idea about its rules? Apparently, we'll have to start from the very beginning. So, “Counter Strike” is a series of so-called cult computer games recognized by gamers (computer players) all over the world. It was originally a modification of another computer game called "Half Life".
Be that as it may, today almost any computer game lover who has a modern personal computer has faced the question: “How to learn to play CS well?” One of our children, relatives or acquaintances has almost certainly played this popular game before. Question: “How to play CS (Counter Strike)?” is still relevant for some reasons.
Some people say that you should learn from other people's mistakes, while others say that they prefer to learn from their own. However, we should not forget that training varies. If you go to Internet sites to learn how to play Counter Strike without having the slightest idea about the game, you are showing complete disrespect not only for experienced Counter Strike players, but also for newbies who have bothered to learn the rules.
In any case, you should start with the rules, regardless of what kind of player you are in other games. If you want to know how to play CS (Counter Strike), start by learning the rules. Naturally, you will need a computer, an Internet connection, free time and perseverance. Since you are reading this publication, you are already showing some interest in this truly cult game. So, in a way, a start has already been made.
And you will also need the game itself. Perhaps this statement made some of the readers smile, since installing the game on their personal computer is something they take for granted? But the fact is that the CS has several versions. Naturally, this game has improved and gotten better over time, right? Today you and I will need (KS) - 1.6.
Where can I find the distribution? On the Internet, of course! At the very least, you will find the computer game itself and install it on your personal computer without much difficulty. Then you will need to use the de_dust2 map and play with bots. Why? Because, as was said at the beginning of the article, you won’t be able to create competition for experienced players, even hypothetically. It’s even better to start mastering the CS by studying maps, looking for advantageous, useful places, and then playing against bots. Bots are virtual, computer-controlled partners (opponents) in a game.
And now about how to play CS on the Internet after you have practiced playing with bots:
Run - “Find server”, after which a window will appear.
At the top, click the first column - “Internet” - a server search will start.
Choose any acceptable server. Double-click on it and the download will begin.
After its completion, decide on the “guild” that you like. Do you want to play as terrorists or special forces? But remember, it's just a game!
Choose the appearance of your team of players.
In principle, that's all! In the sense that all the preliminary steps have been completed. Well, now for most PC users, the question of how to play CS remains relevant. The point here is not even about computer literacy, but about the psychological aspect. We all want to receive complete instructions for a particular process. On the other hand, every person is a creative person. When playing CS, you will definitely encounter extraordinary situations.
At least remember that the shopping menu is opened with the "B" key. There you select the weapon for the game and its class. Initially, you should take into account the fact that on the Internet you will probably have to play CS as a team. A loner, as a rule, causes problems for other players. Consider the importance of sound in the game! By sound, as in the real world, you can determine the location of enemies.
Don't forget that CS is a game, albeit a very exciting one! You will definitely learn to play, but try to leave all your emotions in the virtual world!
1 - If the window on the first floor is too high for you, try jumping onto your friend and from him into the window. 100% shocks the enemy and opens up new methods of assault for CT. Tested in cs_test and cs_new_york. In theory, you can build such a pyramid in cs_militia and jump into the window above the entrance. The main thing is that there is a quorum.2 - Night vision goggles are an excellent aid for snipers. For example, in ss_raid the mountain slightly extends beyond the map, as a result of which CTs can walk around the top with impunity and shoot the enemy. But, if you put a sniper with glasses on the tower, then a rare CT will risk climbing.
3 - For CT: if your opponents are locked in one room, and it is impossible to smoke them out, then a machine gun with grenades will help you. Four machine gunners shooting at one building turn the interior into absolute hell.
4 - For T: if you feel the situation is losing, and you desperately need points, shoot the hostages and hide.
5 - Try to recharge in secluded places. For example, behind a box or wall. If this does happen and an enemy is waiting for you around the corner, then remember that a pistol is also a weapon, and a knife, by the way, too.
6 - A grenade can be used as a cobblestone. You should throw it at the opponent's head when he has less than 15% health.
7 - It is better to climb sloping stairs in a squat position; it is better not to climb vertical ones, unless you want to muffle the sound.
8 - choose a fair person as a server, so that later there are no undeserved kicks or games with gravity.
9 - Some doors open if a grenade explodes next to them. Example: back door in cs_assault.
10 - If you can hear what is happening on enemy computers, check their presence by shooting at glass or walls. Remember, this is mean!
11 - Don't break down the doors. If you are alone, open it and quickly move away. If there are two people, one opens it, the other shoots. You can, of course, shoot at it. But, even if you are with an M4A1, you risk sending your conspiracy to hell. Better stand at the door and listen.
12 - Concerns T: comrades! Sometimes the CT's respawn spot is easier to defend than its native pinatas. So why protect them! Visit CT and wait for them there. They'll be back!
13 - Listen to what they are yelling at the club. The main thing is to listen and learn. In general, the dead have a very useful opportunity to inform the living about the enemy. And in Counter-Strike, knowing who is where is a huge advantage. If you are left alone with the enemy, then do not hesitate to loudly ask where he is. Remember, this is mean!
14 - Try to come to the club with a friend. Or at least negotiate with your neighbor about help and mutual assistance. A “dead” partner is the best means of reconnaissance. It looks especially effective when aiming through walls this way. Remember - one in the field is not a warrior.
15 - Shoot through the walls. About half of the weapons fire through walls very well.
16 - Change weapons while running. You run much faster with a pistol than with an AWP; I’m generally silent about the speed of squatting. With the sight turned on, the speed also decreases. It's best to run with a knife.
17 - Sniper wisely. Don't jump with your scope on. Find a few good spots on the map and change them constantly. From any of these places it should not be very noticeable from afar; all approaches to it should be shot through. It's also good to be able to take a few steps around the corner to recharge after a possible miss. It is best for only your head to stick out. When you see a grenade, make a sharp jerk with the mouse in any direction. A blind sniper is a dead sniper.
18 - learn key combinations when purchasing weapons. On many maps, the one who runs first to a certain point plays a decisive role. Therefore, combinations such as B-4-4, B-4-1, B-4-6, B-4-3, B-4-2 and B-3-1 should be dialed automatically.
19 - learn all the tricks on the map. The same applies to dark places and convenient camping spots. You need to be able to shoot them all, if necessary, and throw grenades at them. Remember, camping is mean!
20 - Create a clan as soon as possible. Clan game is a team game. You can't achieve anything here alone. Yes, both of us too. Only in a clan that takes the development of team tactics seriously can one really aspire to good results. It is quite possible that your first clan will be “lamer”, but, in any case, this is an order of magnitude better than what an “individualist” can do.
21 - If the water is ankle-deep, it muffles footsteps quite well. If it’s knee-deep, then the fighter should lie on his stomach and crawl. Of course, the speed decreases by a factor of 10, but it is very convenient to swim around the corner and wet the campers in such a simple way. If the water is waist-deep, then when you squat you will not be visible from above, but you will be able to see the observer perfectly. If the water is above your waist, you can swim. A good swimmer with a knife can kill a whole crowd underwater. Unfortunately, there are now few maps where you really need the ability to swim. But still practice.
22 - If your style is to sit around the corner with a shotgun, then turn up your speakers or, better yet, your headphones to maximum. After a few hours of practice, you will be able to understand everything that happens in your half of the level. Remember, this is mean! If, on the contrary, you fiercely hate all sorts of “waiters,” press Shift more often (by default) and throw grenades... Using sounds, you can perform quite interesting maneuvers.
23 - Having a good permanent partner is a great success. Periodically practice new techniques with it, and to do this, draw or download map plans online. The usual way is to reconstruct the usual tactics on a particular map and find its weak links. Come up with a few tactics for playing against a weak team and a few for playing against a strong one. The names of the parts of the map must be clearly agreed upon between partners, and explanations about the position of the enemy must be clear and precise. Practice shooting through walls. Practice different types of distraction maneuvers.
24 - It often happens when you are blinded. If before this absolutely joyful moment you were sitting in ambush, then don’t twitch! Suddenly they won't notice. If at the moment of blinding you were under fire, then, without stopping shooting, remember where you were and, without spinning, using only the keyboard, go around the nearest corner. Why shouldn't you touch the mouse? According to the law of meanness. An attempt to turn around while being blinded almost always results in the blinded person running out right under the enemy’s nose.
25 - Many bots do not shoot at long distances, so it is very good to practice accuracy on them. Climb onto the main roof of cs_assault and practice calmly! The second type of bots shoots well, but stays at the base until the end of the round. You launch them at cs_mansion for T, take a shotgun and train your reaction. The last type of bots are those that walk along waypoints. The very top of strategic thought is to arrange waypoints for the team in such a way as to automatically beat the superior enemy team. I recommend it to all fans of the sixth rainbow.
26 - Don't get into a tank if you don't know how to drive. You will ruin yourself and others. The same applies to jeeps.
27 - Never get into a crowd. Even if there are two of you, it’s already a crowd. In general, always try to always be at least a step away from any player. By doing this, firstly, you reduce your own seductiveness for throwing grenades; secondly, you clear your visibility zone; thirdly, usually the whole company tries to hide around one corner and, as a rule, there is not enough space for everyone... The “extra” are quickly killed by opponents stunned by such impudence. Separately, I would like to say about narrow corridors: being in one of them with a friend, you become a potential victim. Rounds tend to pass through living and half-dead flesh. Therefore, if a mass passage cannot be avoided, try not to stand and look at your decreasing percentage of life when a firefight begins, but simply shoot straight through your own. The same applies to the situation when you shoot at someone and then a friend suddenly blocks the sight with his back. Don’t stop shooting, your friend won’t even notice that they shot an enemy through him. The main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise you can kill your own.
28 - In a good team it is very useful to have a driver. The fact is that when T sees the nose of a tank on cs_siege, he is itching to kill the driver. Especially if the tank is about to enter the passage. Naturally, the sudden exit of the people from the sewer at such a crucial moment will go unnoticed.
29 - Driving a jeep is an entire art. A duel between two teams sitting in jeeps can be more interesting than an action movie. In fact, a jeep is very convenient to distract the bastards. It's quite fun to throw a dazzler at an enemy's jeep, and then, leaving one person in your jeep, ram into the enemy's. Naturally, a person is required to jump out in time. You can also place the jeep as bait in the middle of the area, and keep it on the AWP front sight.
30 - How do you feel about the knife? Do you want me to prove to you that this is the ideal weapon? The travel speed does not decrease, the cost is zero, the number of charges is infinite, and no recharging is required. This is the quietest weapon in the game, and with a hit to the head in the second mode it removes 100% of life. In contrast to all these advantages, it has only 2 disadvantages: average “rate of fire” and short range. Knife fighting often resembles samurai combat, in which one precise blow decides the matter. We must try to choose the place of battle so that we can suddenly attack the enemy. If the fight is on a level field, you must wait until the enemy makes a blow, and immediately attack yourself, while he is “unarmed” for about half a second. Always hit in the second mode.
31 - The silencer in the game is a very valuable thing. The muffler has 3 advantages and only 1 disadvantage. The first advantage is that the silencer makes the shot of your weapon almost inaudible, the second advantage is that it increases accuracy. And the third advantage is that it reduces the dispersion of cartridges. And to all this there is a disadvantage that reduces the power of fire.
32 - If you are a CT, then hostages can be placed out the window. In confusion, the enemy will start shooting at them, thinking that it is you, and will fly into the money. And this is nice. It’s even more pleasant that you can determine his firing position and sectors of his fire.
33 - If you are a CT, then you can hurt them a little with a few shots from a pistol and drag them along with you. Then they will take the first blow of the grenade upon themselves, and by putting the enemy on the money, you will have time to react.
34 - If you are a CT, just carry one hostage with you, because he acts as a kind of back shield, taking on the entire wave of hatred and lead from your worst enemy.
35 - If you are a CT, then in the event of a protracted battle with the use of firearms, I recommend using the hostage as a human shield. Jumping around him and shooting at the enemy. The accuracy and rate of fire of the enemy's shots will be an order of magnitude lower, since he does not want to accidentally hit a hostage.
36 - To run fast, you must have a knife or a grenade in your hands, then you will run as if there was no n-kilogram machine gun hanging behind your back.
This week I want to talk to you about the basics. Counter-Stike has been played since back in 1999, but every day newbies connect to the Global Offensive servers, for whom everything here is wild and unusual. I hope that this article will be a good help for such players, allowing them to quickly join the world of CS and immediately begin to enjoy the competitive nature of this game. Play a few matches, experiment and see what works for you and what doesn't. The most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the game, no matter your skill level.
In this guide, we'll cover a few core elements of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive:
At first, Counter-Strike can be quite confusing and confusing. You join a match and it seems like every other player knows the smallest hiding places by heart that you wouldn't have guessed. Your teammates reach the mining site in almost 10 seconds, and you get lost in the ventilation pipe, and when you finally manage to get out of this maze, you find five enemies in front of you and instantly lose your life. On top of that, you had a bomb and you didn't even realize it. Welcome to Counter-Strike!
Newbies are no longer allowed to join experienced players, at least not at first. You will have to play in normal mode until you raise your private rank to level three. This mechanic not only discourages hackers, but also allows you to become familiar with the basic mechanics of the game.
First tip: don't worry about what happens in casual matches. It’s not for nothing that they are called casual, and most players in this mode are not particularly eager to win. I don't think anyone will mind if you do something wrong. You came here to study, and this place was simply created for this. Relax and enjoy the process.
Shooting
The first few skills you need to master in Counter-Strike are relatively straightforward, but they are by no means intuitive, especially if you've never played CS before. It's easiest to keep the crosshairs at head height, but you'll need to stand still while shooting to improve accuracy. You can't rush and kill all the enemies on the fly like in Call Of Duty. As you improve your skills, you will learn to strafe, stop, shoot, and strafe again. You will get faster and faster, more accurate and more accurate, and finally you will master the CSGO death dance to perfection. This video does a great job of explaining the basic CSGO moves:
Your bullets do not fly in a straight line in the direction of the crosshairs, but change their trajectory slightly in accordance with the recoil of the weapon. Beginners will benefit from practicing burst fire to get used to the recoil and minimize its impact. Spray shooting (this is when you pull the trigger all the way) is usually used in close combat. If you are shooting spray, lower the scope down to compensate for recoil. If you've only spent a few bullets, don't reload right away: make sure you're prepared to face other enemies that appear unexpectedly. Find a safe place to recharge and don't recharge unnecessarily. The video below perfectly describes all the nuances of single shooting, burst shooting and spray.
It's important to remember that each weapon has its own spray pattern (all of which are collected on the awesome CSGO Skills site). Don't forget this aspect, because after the first couple of shots, the trajectory of the bullets changes, and they fly higher and wobble left and right. One of the most difficult skills to master in CS is spray control: the art of reversing the spray pattern using the mouse to reduce recoil. It sounds complicated, and it is!
By the way, here's an interesting fact: accuracy increases when changing direction of movement. For example, when you strafe to the right and then start to strafe to the left, within a split second of changing direction you are accurate enough to make the decisive shot.
Sight location
Once you've mastered the basic skill of shooting, it's time to move on to the next notable step in a newbie CS player's career: learning to control your aim. Don't forget that this requires at least a superficial knowledge of the map, so you need to play a couple of matches first. The following is a wonderful video with a visual demonstration of the correct and incorrect placement of the crosshairs of the sight. Make it easier for yourself and let the enemies get into the crosshairs themselves without using cheats.
The preliminary shooting is also very well described here. This is an excellent technique for beginners, especially if you've been in situations where one of the enemies constantly takes the same damn position and mows you and your comrades down like grass as soon as you appear around the corner. Again, you can't do this without knowledge of the map and decent traffic control skills, but it's not that difficult. Just stop at the corner where the villain is lurking, adjust your aim so that during the strafe it is aimed directly at his head, make a sharp jerk, shoot and return back to cover. This is where “perfect precision when changing direction of movement” comes in handy. Here's a good tutorial on pre-shooting:
Card control
When I first started playing CS, I was very afraid to give away my position. I held Shift and sneakily patrolled (so that the sound of footsteps could not be heard) mining sites in fear of getting a bullet in the head before I saw the enemy. My playing style was extremely non-aggressive. I was constantly worried that I would betray the team, let everyone down and miserably fail the match. If you also play like this, try to get rid of this bad habit as quickly as possible. There is an art to recognizing situations and choosing a playstyle (stealth, pre-shooting, aggression) that you only master with experience. I admit that I have not yet achieved perfection in this art, but one thing I know for sure: tiptoeing towards a mining site does not suit a terrorist, so rely on preliminary shooting. Aggressively pressure counter-terrorists early in the round when they don't seem to be expecting it. Try different strategies and see if they work for you. Analyze the enemy and choose tactics that can take him by surprise. Be brave, just don't rush to B every damn round!
Of course, superiority on the map cannot be achieved without communication, and there cannot be normal cooperation within a team if you do not know the signs on the ground. Take the trouble to learn at least a couple of names in addition to the classic “carpets” and “mid” in order to succeed in providing your comrades with the most up-to-date information about the enemy. Knowledgeable in CS - doubly armed, so get started with the guide with the names of positions on the most popular maps. Don't forget the English versions too!
Map control is an important part of Counter-Strike, and if you have many different playstyles, you'll have plenty of ways to gain or maintain control of the terrain. Speaking of strategies, once you can confidently follow the map in competitive mode and have a rough idea of how mining sites are attacked and defended, spend some time practicing grenade throws. Eat tons of video tutorials on this subject, not to mention homemade maps that will allow you to hone this skill directly in the game. I promise that this time will be well spent and will make the game much easier for you.
If you still don’t understand the tactical benefits of grenades during a match, I advise you to start with this video. It has not yet been possible to find a more visual introduction to the world of flash drives and smokes.
Shooting through walls is a skill that you will develop as you get a better and better feel for the map. Some materials can be penetrated by bullets, and this is not always obvious. I advise you to shoot at the wall if you hear that the enemy is on the other side (and sometimes even when you don’t hear it). There is always a chance to make a successful headshot. Below this technique is demonstrated using the example of the Inferno map, where knowledge and skillful use of shooting points can give superiority over the enemy.
Economics and trunks
It is difficult for beginners to appreciate the importance of the economic component of CS. If you have good team communication, you will easily figure this out. Let's talk about the most fundamental things you should know.
In competitive mode, you should definitely buy a set of Kevlar armor! The body armor and helmet cost a total of $1,000. The M4 and AK-47 are the two "basic" weapons for counter-terrorists and terrorists, respectively. Both are powerful, versatile, efficient and economical. You should master these machines and buy them when you have enough money. The AK can kill a helmeted enemy with one headshot, but the M4 can't do that: if the enemy is wearing a helmet, you'll need two shots. However, mastering shooting with a Kalashnikov is much more difficult, so do not rush to give it preference at the beginning of the game - for many beginners, the starting point for the T-side is the Galil, which is quite easy to control, even if sophisticated shooting techniques are alien to you.
You should also look into the concept of "eco rounds". There are a lot of nuances here, but the main rule is: do not buy anything if the team members have significantly less than $4,000. If everyone on the team has over $4,000, you are expected to make a "full purchase" including weapons, mine clearance kit, and grenades. The key here is communication: find out if others need eco or let them know you need it when you're struggling with cash. During the Eco Round, your main goal is to plant a bomb or get a kill or two to gain funds to prepare for the next round. If you have enough money for a full stockpile and one extra rifle, and your teammate doesn't have enough money, just drop him the extra weapon. Your money is the team's property.
By the way, when it comes to drops, never be greedy. Be sure to remember that two FAMAS are better than one M4, and don't ignore your partner's puppy dog eyes just because you might not have enough for your favorite Emka. After all, he won't be able to provide you with adequate cover with just a pistol.
Pistol rounds are also incredibly important, so what should you buy? It all depends on the patch that is current at the time of the game, but now Tec-9 is especially good, and I have always liked Five-Seven. For those who use ammo carefully and conduct exclusively targeted shooting, the CZ75 can be a worthy alternative for terrorists. The P250 is also a great inexpensive choice for both sides. If you're not a good aimer, stick with the standard weapon and buy the $650 body armor to withstand a few hits to the body. Pistol rounds are important because if you do well, you will most likely win the next two or three rounds.
If you are lucky on the pistol, there is a high chance that the enemy will stick to safe tactics and attempt an eco. In this case, SMG is your choice. SMGs give $600 per kill (excluding P90!) and work great against enemies without armor. Buying an SMG can earn you some good money and guarantees easy kills. True, I often saw how beginners bought SMGs at full stock. Yes, you may get the short end of the stick at times, but SMGs are terrible against armored enemies, which makes them less valuable than rifles. Rifles may cost more and bring in less money for kills, but they are rifles! Believe me, they are very good.
In case of defeat in the pistol round, a Force Buy is often performed - a forced purchase of cheap weapons and a minimum set of armor. Agree, a team with a couple of Scouts and a Tec-9 has a much better chance of fighting back than poor people with Glocks. This is a great move when the enemy has a hard time winning the first round from you and/or chooses an SMG strategy without expecting you to resist. For terrorists, it is worth considering whether a bomb was planted in the previous round, because with the bonus for planting it would be reasonable to do one eco and buy after. Counter-terrorists, on the other hand, do not have to count on a bomb, but in the event of a force buy they lose practically nothing and still ensure themselves a “full purchase” even after three defeats in a row, so the game is almost always worth the candle.
Such tactics sometimes have to be resorted to at later stages of the match, but it is associated with great risk: a failed force buy causes irreparable damage to the economy, and this, consider it a pleasant surprise for the enemy in the form of two or three rounds given to him. Of course, it would be stupid to give away a key round without a fight, but there is also no need to take risks thoughtlessly without first assessing the possible consequences - when the score allows, it is better to save money on full-fledged equipment.
Moreover, there are many types of force buy. Here are a couple of professional variations with comments and detailed analysis:
If you have a lot of money and are good with AWP in casual matches, you can rely on this rifle during competitive battles. It's good for area control when playing as counter-terrorists, but it's also quite good when playing as terrorists, although fast attacks don't fit well with a sit-down AWP playstyle. As a rule, one AWP per team is enough, but sometimes you can play with two guns.
Settings
In this regard, you don't need to worry too much. First, lower the mouse sensitivity, and then turn it down a little more. I would also recommend changing the radar, which can be made much more effective and informative through a couple of lines of the config. Second, customize your crosshairs to suit your preferences using a website or card with pro player presets. I like a classic sight in any color that doesn't blend in with its surroundings. For example, pink is a great color because it stands out against any background. To practice strafe, it is better to leave it dynamic until you learn to feel its “run-up”. Finally, disable the Switch Weapon on Pick Up option to avoid a lot of accidental deaths from another misplaced Bison.
I have no doubt that more experienced CS players would add a few more points here, but it seems to me that the tips listed are quite enough for beginners to start playing. Everything else is personal preference. I advise you to read thematic sites and decide what suits you best, and then try it out and evaluate the sensations.
Once you have the basics down, try playing on aim maps to practice your headshots. Search for maps using the keywords "aim" or "headshot" on community servers, or download this and this map from the Steam Workshop.
And most importantly, trust Shaya, he knows what he's talking about.
Shooters are one of the most difficult genres of games, since the gamer is required to constantly improve, and it involves the battle of skilled and very real people sitting hundreds of kilometers from each other.
Many beginners have no idea how quickly and easily learn to play CS 1.6 well, although in fact there are general tips that can increase the skill level of not only a beginner, but also an experienced “shooter”.
How can you prepare for the game?
For some, the phrase “preparing for the game” sounds crazy, but this is exactly what can become a ticket to the top of the ratings.
