21. Bounce flashes towards the ground for a short throw and quick peek around a corner, clip it right near the edge... that gives them less time to escape (like if you had bounced it off the inside wall.. they get too much warning)
22. Sometimes throw a smoke, bounce it and then jump out at the same time... they'll think it's a flash and turn around
23. after throwing a nade, pull your gun out immediately and start shooting... they'll most likely still be retreating your nade and you have an open shot.
24. When reloading and in a gunfight struggle, just pick up another gun asap.
25. Don't crouch near corners, your legs stick out more so than if you were standing
26. Plant the bomb in open areas so your team-mates can cover it.

to expand on this, the enemy is almost always where your teammates are not...this is key, now you know where people are!
Whats that? on dust2 there are only a couple terrorists left and the CTs can't find them? Where are there no CTs, i'll nearly guarantee its long A!!
Whats that? Everybody in a bombsite or on the way to the bombsite died...hrm no need for them to call for backup, you should already have put 2 and 2 together.
I personally look at radar just as much as i look in front of me...very helpful
27. Double tap z to do a barrel roll to deflect lasers.
28. Always peek across corners before actually going through there, unless you're positive that someone is there. In which case you run in and spray in that general direction.
29. ALWAYS do 2-3 shot bursts with any assault rifle, it's the most effective.
30. NEVER do 2-3 shot bursts with any assault rifle when enemies are inches from you.
31. Staying in place never works, you will be mowed down, always keep moving, stopping only for a half second to shoot.
32. Submachine guns are meant for close range combat. Do not try to snipe with one.

33. Are servers use bank so stash up some money then let it gain interest till you get max. then withdraw 2k every round an it will just refill to max again next round so you always have a extra 2k of cash for free.
34. Get smokes an flashbangs. Use them tactically an gain the advantage over your opponent. 1 flashbang an usp could take out a fully decked enemy if used properly.
35. Use radio commands or your mic if you have one an coordinate with your team. this is tactical squad combat. you'll live alot longer an win if you work together.

36. Don't try to be pro. Just have fun. 
Aim for the crotch to disable them!
For the newcomers, this can't be stressed enough; just chilax and play the game. We aren't all uber head popper's from the get-go. This takes time. I've been playing since CS 1.6 and I STILL suck harder than a black hole..
So play! Have fun and watch the others when you're dead...you can pick up a few free tricks that way.
Also, TMP spamming is top-shelf play.:sneaky2:

39. When running down a hallway never ever run directly behind people or in a large group. Always keep some space and off to a side. This allows you more reaction time to a flash and you can quickly spin around to avoid the flash. Often times the first few people will take a flash to the face, but since you're a little further back, you won't be affected as much. This allows you to cover your teammates when the enemy expectantly runs in. As well, since you're off to the side, you will be out of the way of the bullets heading towards your teammates and you can pick off the rushers (hopefully saving your team!)
40. Never underestimate the usefulness of a nade or a flash in the pistol round. Especially as everyone usually bunches up to throw as much pistol ammo down the map as possible. As well, since there are lots of pistols, there will be a lot of wounded players. I've seen some amazing group nade kills from ONE nade in the pistol round.
41. Don't be afraid/discouraged to wound someone. Your teammates can pick them off and will be grateful for it. So don't get discouraged if you wound lots of people and don't pick up immediate kills. If everyone wounds, then eventually you'll be able to pick off enemies and rack up some kills! I've seen some great teamwork with multiple entry situations!
42. Don't underestimate the ridiculousness of the headshot kill box. I've seen people crouching behind cover get picked off simply because the hitbox is so large. If an enemy is behind cover, don't be afraid to send a shot over his head. You might pick up a kill. Thank you, Dust 2 Bombsite B for valuable lessons.

44. When someone throws a nade at you, rush them. 9 times out of 10, the nade will sail far behind you and you can then a) stay out of the explosive radius of the nade and b) rush someone who now doesn't have a gun out. I guess the theory can also be adapted for flashes too.
