Thats a plus, but the real way to rack up kills is to know where all the players are and learn to use your weapon.

hmm ok
Here is a small post I made about what Boe is talking about

Here is some more info

Also Some Stuff by E Johnny Flame, jokes interspersed lol.
Get a Mic!
Typing takes too long. And don't spam it, hard to hear foot steps when you're talking.
Footsteps
When you hear footsteps and don't see a teammate on radar be prepared to slay enemy.
Also learn what footsteps sound like on different textures.
Acquire a Headset!
You can hear so much better with one, imho.
Don't rush unless it's the objective!
You might get a kill but you'll probably get killed, also.
Bait Merc
Let Merc take enemy health down then you can go in a mop up.
Don't rush double doors @ long if Katy Perry is online!
He camps on other side.
Call a rush before you die!
Chances are you are dead but atleast give your teammates warning.
Don't pray and spray!
Use burst fire(unless you know how to ignore crosshair and focus on where bullets are landing). 3 shots for M4 2 shots for AK.
Aim for the Head!
Get in a habit of aiming for the head and it'll come natural.
Slow down that Mouse!
Gradually slow your mouse speed down. Better for accuracy. Do a google search for how to optimize your mouse for CS:S. You'll have to disable things in Windows Mouse properties. Worth it though. Will give you a more consistent experience.
Fancy graphics are for the birds!
Get rid of everything you can. Max performance!
What's FPS?
Is your FPS under 40? That's no good, try to get it and limit it to 100.
Running with Knife out is for the birds!
Stay locked and loaded at all times. You don't run any faster with your knife out than you do with your pistol out.
crosshairsize?
I like a smaller crosshair. I use cl_crosshairsize 2(dunno what that is in crosshairscale)
Nades!
Don't use your nades at the beginning of the round! They are more efficiently used when thrown at shot up enemies.
Out of Flash Bangs?
Try throwing a smoke grenade in the stead of a flash bang. Hopefully the enemy will think it's a flash and look away, then you get a kill!
And 2cents from inm8:
1. Headset - Able to clearly hear footsteps allowing you to set up an ambush. Example HS: Sitting in West connect with crosshair at head height, T comes running down West hall and boom hs.
2. Radar - Again, check constantly to see where teammates are dying and where the enemy is sighted. Can also use radar to blindfire through smoke. Just look where the dots are and fire in that general direction, I do it all the time in HS West Hall when Ts rush with smoke.
3. Burst Fire and Aim - Always burst fire and aim for the head. Sounds obvious but everyone does it including me where you panic when you see multiple enemies and just spray and pray. Always aim head height
4. Positioning - Another obvious tip but people still do it. Never just stand out in the open. Get behind something. Take a peek then get back in cover. Also always aim head height and be ready to shoot so you can pull off a quick burst if you see an enemy and can then quickly get behind cover.
5. Experience - You will learn a lot of these things through trial and error and with time. I have been playing since counter strike was first released as a mod for hl.
6. Other Tips
- Don't leave the bomb if its down, stay and protect it, the Ts will come to it.
- Constantly check the scoreboard(TAB) to see how many are left, so many times there will be 1 left attacking bombsite A and the ct there is calling for help and 5 cts are sitting in bombsite B, get a clue and go A.
- Lastly, try specing someone who knows what they are doing and spec them to gain some tips. I did it when I would see Fathom on back in the day when I was rusty after a 1 year break. Not sure where he ran off to, haven't seen him in forever.

To have good reflexes and be good at CS:S, you must have good reflexes and be good at CS:S.

I NEED both
A good start is to read Boe jangles and Mercs posts other than these other posts that actually make you worse of a player. Try scrimming some. It doesn't have to be with eGO. Goto www.scrimsearch.com. it'll connect you to #sourceringer, and get some scrim time/experience in on diff maps, it's also a good way to get away from pubs and play against better players. Also watch the other players and what not.
Know all hiding spots and corners, pre fire where noobs always camp. Learn to anticipate what the enemy is thinking and be one step ahead. Learn how to react to every situation, which comes with practice. Last, but not least, learn to have fun, some people forget that it's a game. I've only been playing for about 12 months so I'm not as good as many of the people on this thread, but these are the things I have learned through experience.

I'm so pro people reply for me... Jelly, demon?
Serious note, reflexes do play a part in CS:S but in a pub server you need brains more than reflexes. You can only aim so well on the game, but when it comes to outsmarting your enemy, that can put your skill level miles apart. Find your weaknesses and learn how to compensate for them.
Once you find your groove I'm confident you'll be slaying everybody that posted in this thread.
Don't forget to play on the highschool server!
