Cs:s courtesy

[WheresWaldo]

This isn't a post to criticize anyone as a fore note.
This is simply a couple ways to help make your gaming experience and those your playing with a little less stressful.

1. Stealth
During some parts of the game, stealth is the preferred way of movement for some people. If you see someone crouching or walking down a hallway, be sure to walk with them. If you run by and make a noise, you?ve ruined what they had hoped to accomplish, and might get both of you killed.

2. Knifing
This is kinda a vague topic. First, f you see someone running at you with a knife, you should knife fight them. I know personally, ive shot a potential knife fighter, but its most polite to knife them. If you are rushing with a knife drawn, and they don?t pull out their own knife, feel free to stop the offer. If they shoot you however, and youve been too slow to draw a gun, your too slow. Dont complain about it afterwards. This is void if the person is sneaking up to knife you.
If you see 2 people in a knife fight, unless you?ve agreed to help your teammate, don?t assist in anyway. Shooting your enemy whos engaged in a knife fight is rude, as is knifing the person.

3. Grenades
DO NOT TEAMFLASH!!!!11!!
don?t nade block. There is nothing more annoying then having your own nade come back and kill you, or a your nade comes back and blinds you.
Sticking people with smoke grenades, though sometimes funny, is not an appropriate use of resources.
please don?t do it.

4. Common Politeness
If the person who killed you had a nice headshot, a nice nade, or even snuck up and knifed you, congratulate them if you think they deserve it. If not don?t say anything. They might have thought it was nice and youd be crushing their opinions.
Also, at the end of every round, regardless of how bad you may have done, always say ?good game? or ?gg?. It just adds to the friendliness of our servers.

I second the part about knifing. If you see two guys in a knife fight, don't interfere with it. Also if someone is running at you with a knife and there is no one else around that would shoot you otherwise, it's best to accept the challenge and knife him like a man. If he's sneaking up on you from behind and is very close to you, go ahead and shoot him, because by the time you've taken your knife out you'll be dead. This is just what I do anyway, I like to get quick kills just as much as the next guy, but I like to be courteous to people who bring a knife to a gun fight.


Also I'd like to add to try and say "nt" after someone died. It makes them feel better lol.

i have to try doing that more, but its hard for me because whenever i see a dude from the other team i spaz out and shoot him xD ill try my best to keep my finger off the trigger if i see someone going for a knife kill

I won't knife people, but that's just because i unbound my right click.

Hard to knife when you can't stab.

these are all good points, most go without saying. But please note, just because you want to knife doesn't mean that everyone should be obligated to not shoot you. If you are trying a sneak attack with the knife from behind I will do anything to not let that happen, If i see you about to knife my teamate from behind, I will help my teamate first by shooting you. But I totally agree, if 2 players are having a mutually agreed upon knife fight, it's just common courtesy to not shoot the enemy. Yesterday I was killed in just such a fashion, i was knifing with someone and a bystander just shot me! Yes, i was a bit ticked off. On another server I've played alot, there was a player who would always ask "knife?" if he was one of the last ones left and once the other player agreed and started at him with the knife he would shoot them. that was funny once, but awfully cheezy after awhile.

I never use CS:S courtesy lol. I always fake holding my knife out, then I pull out a para and blow them away. SUCCESS!

 

[tiny[INACTIVE]]

Yeah really annoying when u are being quiet and then rest of your team come charging up xD and i would shoot pro knifers down!!!! because they will kill me xD

!up waldo

Mostly true, but I still think it's funny watching people with knives get owned by "outside knives" or guns. It is bringing a knife to a gunfight, after all.

Biggest act of courtesy: dont talk when your dead and if your mic sounds bad, keep talking to a minimum...nothing I HATE more than not being able to hear footsteps

[Vader]

Great guide.

 

[cooley]

[Jesh]

this would only apply to servers with all talk on.

Here's a helpful hint, bind voice_scale 0 and voice_scale 1 (I bound to F1 & F2). This will instanly mute and unmute all. An absolute must for all talk servers.

that reminds me of once in office, we were 4 guys that had been going knife a few times, me and tenghz(think it was tenghz) buy ourselves 2 para and has our knifes out till last minute and kills them of.
god we laughed, but it usally only funny ones

 

[ParkwayDrive]

maybe its just me but i consider going for the map objectives to be very courteous

nothing makes me angrier than a terrorist not going for the bomb at the end of a round and equally as angry a CT who doesnt attempt to defuse the bomb....not only is this a very noob strat but it also in most cases makes the round last much longer than it needs to

dont worry....i know its hard to tell but the money in this game is just PIXELS...thats right folks, its not real

 

[Ruthless]

i just hate it when you're trying to crouch and walk and your teamates ruin it for you
