Counterstrike Hints (Mainly for beginners)Always! Buy a Kevlar vest and helmet, it reduces the damage taken from weapons
Knife is always lighter. When you carry a knife, you run faster.
For Rifle Spraying (don't use this too often) When using a carbine, aim around the neck, so that you may be able to get a headshot.When using an AK-47, aim at the chest when you want to pump your full magazine into a guy. This is because; the recoil is larger, so if you aim at the chest, you may be able to get a headshot.
Using your rifle to shoot long distances
When you are shooting someone far away with a rifle, don't bother to spray. Shoot your bullets one at a time, ensuring that it is accurate. (Unless you are facing someone with an Artic, then most probably you are doing to die)
Grenades are very useful
Highly Explosive Grenades - High damage, can bounceFlash Bang Grenades - creates a white blur for a few seconds (that few seconds is precious as it gives you time to either run or kill), this is also good at sabotaging your friends) Smoke Grenades - Don't bother to buy this, it is a waste of money and lags the server. You will get scolded if your friends die because of the lag caused by the smoke.
Backstabbing
When you see your enemy with his back turned towards you, take your knife out and stab him in the back. For CS source, this would be an instant kill.
When you are facing an enemy, squat and fire at the enemy, usually, your cross hair would be more stable and your bullets will hit where they are supposed to hit.
When you are playing in servers that start with the usual $800, buy a desert eagle. Firstly, that pistol packs a punch (.50 bullets) and at close range, 3 shots to the chest = 123 damage done.
This tip is mainly for beginners.When entering a server, check who is the top fighter in the game and also the team that has the most wins. Try to join the team that has the most wins, and stick close to the top fighter of your team, usually you have a longer chance of survival and if you are lucky, you can get some kills. Beware of backstabbers though.
Use Q for fast changing of weapons
Try not to listen to music using when playing counterstrike, because when hiding in a dark and quiet area, sounds of footsteps could indicate that there is an enemy nearby.
Buy a Para when you are very bored or feel that you want to try something fun online.
IMPORTANT!!Never ever, I really mean NEVER EVER insult or anger the administrator of a server, or else you would most probably be slapped until 5 hp and left to die. Sometimes he would do that to you for fun, but don't scold him, or else he may continue to do that to you.When you join a server with an administrator, join the administrator's team as it is usually the team with the most wins and kills.
When facing a whole gang of enemies, HIDE!
So, CS beginners hope you are able to get some useful tips from this guide.
