lots of practice.... i try to get at least 2-3 games in a week at least, or else i fall out of shape.

best to go practice on weak weapons, so when u pick up ones with bigger and better fire power, the emeny drop like flys.

my personal favorites to train on are the scout and pistols. at first you won't kill anyone but as you get better people respect?? a scout kill.

if it's really to hard, just train with the bots for a while, as they are really easy to kill.

what servers have you been visiting? i ususally reside in swiftgames or ozforces forums, they seem to have a good ping if you live in sydney...

[Coxy_]

cool - I practised with the bots and theyre easy, but as soon as I get on with other ppl I get owned!!! I can make a couple of kills here and there sometimes....

and Ive played it almost every night for the last 2 weeks for at least 2 hours every night!!!! hehe

whats your nicks on there??

as far as the servers go my ping usually sits at around 140 - i cant get it lower than that, i like the optusnet servers and some of the gamespace.net ones

i like the auto-shotty but i get better results with the m4s and cv47s

Just hide behind a box with a shotgun. Guaranteed to kill.

..lots of practice..

Yep plenty of this, coz thats what the 15yr old kid on the on the other end is doing 24/ 7. Good fast internet connection & server ping helps, as well as increasing your display gamma (so you can see those chicken sh!7s camping in the dark spots).

Study your fav maps, weapons (+/-), familiarise yourself with shortcut keys (like when shopping) & purchase weapons depending on your style of game play & map sizes. For specifics do a search on the web regarding tactics, helpful tips etc.

When I use to be addicted to this game I practiced at LAN centres & the weapons of choice for me was mid-long range rifles with a scope (I'd be one of those people who'd shoot you through walls & doors) :headshot: & for very close quarters automatic shotgun.

[doxximus]

yup, practice is king

before i got my unhealthy addiction to WoW i used to play a fair bit online and at lan with friends, always better fun with friends.

also, get ventrillo or team speak if you play with your buddies and when your on the same side its easier talking than the actual cs:s voice thing

[doxximus]

oh and btw, new bloodfang art > everything

looks like Ive got alot of practising to do then!!!! hehe

does the whole thing with the ping mean that some guy with a ping of 30 is technically hitting me with more bullets when Im on 140? does it create that much of a lag?

[AzzurrA]

ping of 140 is fine... i'm on 56k, with a ping of between 250 and 300, and i own most cablers

[TMPTED]

keep practicing and eventually you will be l33t. i used to play cs back in 1.3 days, that was sick

[AzzurrA]

I played from BETA 2 (Which was out in what... 1998ish?, until about Beta 5.5, then stopped 'coz i thought it was going downhill... after that, i would play each new beta for a week or so until i got sick of it 'coz i felt it lost the essence of counterstrike. Anyway, started playing source when it first came out, and now i'm back into it

[silver gts-t]

anyone intrested on creating an SAU server

your ping is more like a connection rate.... the better it is the smoother the game play. on swiftgames for example i usually ping in the 20's. you will notice when some one has a high ping rate as they seem to lag. You will notice everyone else almost teleport from one place to another.

also ajust your frame rate, it healps heaps in getting a smooth game.

As mentioned before memorise the shortcuts.

and my nick is usually syntax error.

[TMPTED]

a true counter striker AzzurrA :uh-huh:

i'd probably get back into it too if i had a new comp

[VIPERGTSR01]

Ping is measured in Milliseconds, If you have a ping of say 150ms and you spot a guy thats has a ping of 50ms your going to want to fire your gun 100ms (0.1 of a second) before he does.

[Topaz]

I havent played with game yet, any good?, I play CS at a mates house, but people were just too good I was geting owned as well

I play ET a few times and do quite well against guys with high XP etc...but CS is a different leauge

[Rekin]
