Counter Strike - Tactics
BASIC IN GAME TACTICS Staying Alive
Walking + listening, based on work from DQ How to rack up the kills Choosing 2-3 weapons and sticking with them seems to help
a lot. I knew learning every weapon first off was impossible (however I
advise new players to try every weapon for a few games to get some idea of
how they perform.). I stuck with the following weapons: I ignored sniper rifles when I started out because I'm a crap sniper :). Now by sticking to these weapons I learned how to use them well. Reloading and firing them after a while became second nature and you do it automatically (unlike before when I had to keep checking ammo levels and adjusting aim). Once you've got to learn your chosen weapons, the next step is aiming right. Holding the weapon steady, while still moving (if you try standing still and firing you won't last long :) ), aim for the head area or the neck, because most weapons (say ak47) will spray over an area and most of the bullets will hit the target. Lastly to be accurate and get a lot of kills is only achieved by practice, and lots of it. Know
your enemy Weapons as well are important. Both teams have access to different weapons, like ak47 for the terrorists only, AUG CT's only e.t.c. By being on both teams you can get an idea of the power and range of the weapons. This will aid you when you are next in the weapons line of fire :). Team
Mates However be careful. Watch where you throw flash grenades as there is nothing more annoying than your own team mate blinding his own team. Other things to watch out for our torches. Players get annoyed if another player lights them up like a christmas tree with the torch :). If a team mate is in a dark area with his torch off there is probably a good reason. Only use the torch for signaling. A lot of players flash their torch at areas, or near team mates (quick on/off). This grabs their attention. Lastly if a team mate is in front of you and is walking (holding down walk key) so no noise is being made from his foot steps which only happens when you run, do NOT run up behind them. Your footsteps will alert the enemy around the corner, which is precisely what your team mate was trying to avoid :). Above all communicate. There are radio bindings in the game to allow you to talk to your team mates, but never forget the 'team talk' key. A quick message to your team to alert them to a danger and saves lives :). A few times on public servers I have managed to spot the reason why my team was losing a lot of game rounds. I talked via team talk to my team mates and pointed out how to correct and stop the enemy. Thereby in effect rallying the team who where getting annoyed at losing for much. Although only one player acknowledged my chat the other players did follow what I said. The plan I gave them worked, and although we did lose the game, we managed to win a few rounds back by playing as a team. Do not be afraid to suggest ideas of how to beat the other team, although don't 'order' players around :). Camping CAMPING IS NOT BAD Now camping is when a player sits in one area and lies in wait for the enemy. This allows them to snipe at approaching enemies or to launch a surprise attack. Camping is looked on as 'bad' in games such as Quake, UT, e.t.c, but in CS it's a tactic and should be used. On public servers players will say "I hate camping", or "look at that lamer camping". I'm sure everyone has seen it. However for a terrorist player camping is a good way to stop the CTs from rescuing hostages e.t.c. If the terrorists can stop the CTs from rescuing hostages then they win the round. So why should the terrorists move out of their base to attack CTs? The answer is they don't. Some terrorist players will advance towards the CTs, but a few will usually hold back near the CTs game objective (say in the 'assassination' they will camp along the route they know the CTs will take). General Tips - By BFC.bvark General Tips - By ED209
when your camping behind a crate or above a
ladder/manhole remember that if your using a rifle ,that the barrel maybe
visible. YOU may be out of sight, but the tip of your colts silencer or
your AKs barrel maybe visible. Also
if sniping from a window (like in de_cobble) don't go up to the window, as
you will be in plain view (so will your weapon), step back and snipe from
the shadows. If you find that your the last CT/T alive and there is a CT/T
camping below the ladder throw a flashbang down first and when you get
just over halfway down the ladder press space and you will jump of
backwards, as most snipers tend to aim at the bottom half of the ladder
giving themselves time to time there shot.
General Tips - By Ben Dornan a) covering your
movement from one piece of cover to the next, especially in open areas doing
this can cause enemies to totally loose you allowing you to get behind
them,. Do not do what most people do and throw them in and then not take advantage of the disabled enemies. From a defensive point of view it is a great help if you can recognise what types of grenades are being thrown at you, so you know how to react. General Tips - By Stoney Jackson
Use the radar --
Your radar (upper left) tells you where your team-mates are in
relation to you. Use the radar to plan fall-back positions (closer to
friendlies), ambushes, and identify weaknesses in your teams
game-plan. Also, when a team-mate radios in for help (or any other
radio message) it indicates which team-mate made the call (he blinks).
Listen to your team-mates --
There is nothing worse than a deaf team-mate. If someone is making a
call for help, respond and move to help (see radar). Don't be afraid to
use your walky-talky. Responding to a team-mates call helps coordination
and cooperation within a team.
Use the obituaries --
Watch the death reports in the upper right of your screen. These tell
you what weapons the enemy are killing your team-mates with. When used
in conjunction with your radar, you can tell where your team-mates are
being killed and how. Then you can decide how best to approach the
situation.
Toggle to your knife for more speed --
This is an old, but useful one. When you are not in danger, and you need
to move quickly, draw your knife. You'll move faster. Then, when you get
closer to a potential hot spot, switch back to your primary (or secondary)
weapon. NOTE: this is made easy by the 'Q' key.
Tip for map Oilrig - By
Agent_Smith Drop back slightly so no ct can snipe you from the lift bottom with there nasty colt. so when some ct runs up the stair just lay some shots into him. If he don't die just run round back through the small corridor behind you and round to the other side door that faces the stairs. 9 times out of 10 the ct will have followed you to the door in the small corridor and wait there thinking your to the right or left of the door just run behind him and cap his a$$. - Also try and work in groups of 2 so one person runs in and you overlap him and both sweep the rooms.
When entering new areas sweep every corner everything and then check the door u just came from as you may have been followed.
Shoot in bursts of a about 5-8 shots a time for greater accuracy. - Range is very important in cstrike. If u get attacked by someone with a shotgun back pedal fast as his gun gets crap over long range, so when u got the shotgun run at the enemy make em swallow the buckshot.... Try to use the mp5 as you'll be able to buy one most rounds if u get good with this gun you can own the game.
