First and
foremost, stick with the team. This is a team game, do not wander off
alone else you will find yourself surrounded by a group of enemies
shooting at you from all sides.
CounterStrike
imitates the recoil of actual guns. It only takes a few shots to put
down your enemy in this game. Do not press the trigger for long instead
burst fire, that is fire two or three bullets at the enemy, wait a bit
and fire again.
Buy what you
need. There are a lot of things you can buy in this game, but you have
limited money so buy wisely. If you think you will get a chance to use
grenades and flashes, only then buy them else its a total waste of your
money.
Plan your
Re-loads. Reloading your gun is the most sensitive part of this game,
this is when you are most vunreable to your enemy. Reloading a gun can
be done quite quickly, however often it makes a difference of life and
death. Its best to look for cover while reloading your gun.
Use your
pistol. Some players find it more useful to use their pistols instead of
reloading the gun. If you are taking time to reload, you are also
giving time to your enemy at the same time to recuperate from the
situation.
Customize
your controls to your comfort. This not only helps in fast weapon
changes, it also helps you manuver yourself out of a complex situation.
Always aim
for the head. Headshot, headshot, headshot and headshot. Your mantra of
becoming a great player. Aiming for the head is always the best as it
takes only a shot or two to kill your enemy. Do not crib when you empty
the whole ammo clip in your enemy only to find 50% damage done. Aim for
head and chest area nothing less than that, nothing beyond that.
Do not shoot
while running, rarely will you see hitting your target. Instead stand,
walk or better crouch. Crouching not only helps to give a better aim, it
also lowers your profile and makes you a smaller target. Better still,
try moving around sideways, back and forth while crouching or walking to
give your enemy a moving target. Remember a moving target is harder to
hit than a stationary one.
Listen and
listen carefully. In this game you can hear footsteps, so try to judge
where your enemy could be and catch him off guard.
While by
default, you will be always running in this game, walk a little after
running a distance to give yourself time to collect whats happening
around you. Walking is silent, so no one can hear you.
Plan your
grenades. Grenades are limited in supply so use them wisely. A common
approach is to soften the enemy with a few grenades before going in for
the final assault. A grenade can come in handy if you want to make a
quick retreat or to buy you some time. Flashbang grenades will
temporarily
blind your enemy if he is in the radius of the blast.
Take Cover.
Use boxes, walls and crates to partially hide and protect you. Note, in
counterstrike bullets can pass through certain walls and boxes so just
don't keep standing behind one thinking it will make you invincible.
Rambo only
looks good in movies. If you find yourself surrounded by two or more
enemies, look for cover or better try to run and escape. While running
refrain from pointing your back to your enemy. If both are not the
options, then relax and take your best shot so atleast you kill one
before you die.
Practice, Practice, Practice. Practice makes a man perfect, infact a woman too. So practice all you can.
