*Bye EGO, you can thank the admin who banned me on highschool for no reason. Listening to irish guys rage about spiders is more fun anyway.*

This thread is some tips I've gather throughout my CS:S gameplay. I hope it helps you guys out. It's mostly made up of links since I'm not a leecher though :)

- FPSgod is a great place to find tips -

*Angles*

*Dust 2*

*Pistol Round - I know we have banks, but if you ever want to scrim, look at this. *

*Secret to Headshots - Practice this, and you will own. *

*Reloading! - This hits home for people who get caught in office on a reload :D*

*Awping - Yes, I know we don't have AWPs on EGO servers, yet its not a bad idea to practice with the AWP.*

*The Power of Spray n Pray!* - Not Sure If mentioned in the post, but when spraying hold your mouse below the targets chest / head and the gun with recoil up and get you a hs. Running with spraying is a bad idea too, strafe when you spray atleast lol ;) *

- End of Links -

Here are some Real-Life tips:

Sleep:
I learned this from Tiny: *GO TO SLEEP, OR YOU'LL FAIL* - it was very true, when your'e tired your reaction time is sluggish, and its hard to even keep your eyes open :eek:

Tunes:
Anyone who has listened to a great song before or playing in CS:S totally understands this! Powerful Tunes spike your adrenaline which will cause your perceptions and reactions to be increased for several minutes!

Drinks:
I'm sure you all know Energy Drinks will also pump up your CS:S gameplay, I suggest you only take them if you plan on staying up for 2-3 more hours or you'll crash ;)

*Warm-Ups*
Before I play CS:S I sometimes play this game while listening to some tunes.

its a reflex game that helps your reaction time alot.

*Krazy Kat's Guide to Office*
Terrorist - *Rushing* First Things First, don't rush garage if the rest of your'e team isn't! It suicide! If you rush garage, watch main hall! CT's can hit your whole team from behind and wipe yall out. *Camping* Usually I camp the hostie room close to side hall! Use them hosties as meat shields! Make them lose their plinks! They're also great to hide behind.
Paper room = Death Room, I personally only like camping there if I have a shotty / have to. It's so confined of an area that you always get pummeled / nade owned if you don't have a automatic weapon. I know some people are great in paper, I'm not lol. If you are a pro, camp long hall, try to get two kills, don't sit too long, or they'll spray you to death and confine you to a corner or keep shooting at the same spot, waiting for your head to show up! Use Bathroom to your advantage. I camp bathroom sometimes when my team rushes garage and is covering main hall well. I can usually get about 2-3 kills off some unexpecting CT's in the hall by front office.

Counter-Terrorist - I personally love T's alot more than CT's so I don't have alot of experience. *When T's rush garage* Don't go out of garage, don't camp on top of those boxes by the dumpster, T's know where CT's usually camp by garage. If you team gets rolled in garage hide in a corner and wait for T's to come out and own them! I've killed 5 people in garage just from camping in a corner! *When T's are camping halls / back office* Watchout for that stair rusher! He'll throw a flashbang through mainhall and camp stairs, don't forget the exit sign above stairs either! - Long Hall - Try not to peek your head out alot by Long Hall, T's have their crosshairs waiting on you to come out from behind the wall. Flashbang / Smoke it before you do. Watch Mainhall for Garage Rushers, if your're trying to hit T's from longhall through bathroom doors, its a nice way to get shot from T's coming out of back office.
Flash Bangs are your'e best friend, use them when you clear any room in back office. It's very unlikely a T won't be in one of them. Use your HE nades well. *This goes for T's too*
If a teammate throws a well placed nade and hits alot of people, throw another and finish them off, steal his kills :P* CT's by garage, stay behind the windows, camping behind the wall by stairs usually gets you owned. While camping behind the windows on the snow covered dumpster / crate, only exposes head and makes you diffcult to see. In Projector room, remeber to look by plasma screen TV wall, for any T's camping behind the slanted walls, *nice place to hide in projector for T's*

*** Jail Tips! ***
-Camping Cell's as a T isn't a bad idea! You can wait until CT's are distracted and escaped while they are looking at the T's in cage!
When a Rebel - When I'm in big cage and have a m4 / AK, ill move between my teammates with the ak hostlered, than shoot at a CT quickly, and put it away, that was the CT's don't know who did it :P!
CT's - Never get close to T's and always pay attention to them. Don't bring T's to a spot they'll likely rebel at. At Pool, T's almost always rebel.

*Remeber when you think there will be an enemy at the end of any hall that you are about to enter, always do the *Ninja Jump* or *Peek*. The Ninja jump is jumping side ways while crouched. I've killed a whole T team on highschool by doing this because they were rounding the corner and looking toward the hall I had just ninja jumped out of, PM in game if you don't understand and I'll be happy to show. The peek is like taunting the enemy to fire but exposing as little of your body as possible, sometimes its really risky, never do this against automatic weapons, only a scout/awp , which has alot of time between shots.

----------------------------------------
Keep working at it, and you can as good
as these guys :D

really great tips, most of it i already knew but i sure enjoyed the reading.

didnt take that long guide of some unknown reason
 
Awesome!

Wow, that was intense. I couldn't help but relate to the music, the drinks, and the sleep :). Nice one Krazy;I empathize with you! There is so much out there that we just don't use, it's ridiculous! Thank you Krazy. I don't know too many other sources, but the one reliable one i can share with you is http://counterstrikesourcetactics.blogspot.com/

It covers a wide variety of help, anything from configuration files to mental game. I'll definitely have to start looking at your fpsGod link though to see what i can learn.

Krazy Kat, i would love to meet with you in ventrillo or in-game to hear more about tips and such. Maybe we could have an exchanging of information some time? I'm in the Office server all the time if you want to meet me there, or just PM me if you might like a ventrillo meeting.
My in-game name: =(e)=? frantic.^ |ST
and, Steam: franticHHS

Look forward to hearing from you.:)

Awp India

I highly suggest you guys try out an awp india server. Awp india is pretty crazy. You only get an awp and a knife so no spraying! This also teachs you guys to stop and shoot, instead of running and spraying. With an awp u cant kill anyone scoped while moving, you have to stop, take aim, and fire. I got 47-5 on highschool server after playing in awp india! It really helps your aim and reacion. Please try it out! Also helps you guys who scrim against clans who want to awp in the scrimage, get the practice in.

Crosshairs

Crosshairs.
Whats the best color and size?
Crosshairs are all about prefrence. I like yellow, since the contrast seems to be the best on most maps. Most people like green, I personally don't like red or blue.

Size.
I use a yellow crosshair which has is scaled down to cl_crosshairscale 1600. It's great for headshots, since it's about the size of someones head, the only draw back is spraying with a scaled down crosshair, is the crosshair doesnt spread out as much, so your bullets will fly way out of your crosshairs largest spread. What I've learned though, is when spraying with a the *Small* Scale you can pick from the list of crosshair sizes, the top notch of the 4 notchs on this crosshair, when spraying, is where your'e bullets always land! Since I'm trying to go by my own guide and only spray when I need to, i use the scaled down crosshair, all about your prefrences.
 
Bye EGO

IT was fun. But getting banned from highschool and not being able to be in any events isnt worth it . bye
