For those who play alot and seem to not get better here are some simple things to practice while you "Pub" which im pretty sure most of you do.

In No Particular Order.

1. First DONT RUSH i think rushing is a waste of time unless the whole team does it. and if you do know how to rush. but its hard in pub servers considering alot of idiots use flashes not knowing whos in front of them thus flashing everyone. So in short. DONT RUSH! Unless team does it.

2. Find servers who have aim_ak-colt in their server map cycle or aim_ak-colt ONLY dedicated servers which i find that are super useful. try using both the AK / COLT . I prefer the colt silenced for some strange reason cuz i do really small bursts and try not spraying. unless you know how to control your spray which in time you will learn how. something in which no one can really teach you. so in short. Practice AK and Colt. Short 2-3 shot bursts. Aim for the head/neck area always the upper body dont make a habit of shooting the lower area.

3. IF you really want to get better try to go against the opposing side...usually say like aztec. everyone goes CT. GO T. pick people off try shit you learn from aim ak colt or whatever and practice picking ppl off. dont go rambo. because thats just stupid. and dont try to be hero. So in short. DONT BE STUPID. and Try the harder side on the map.

4. Flashes are your friends...IF you know how to use it. can't really give advice. but if someone is chasing you. Turn around throw it on the floor and keep running away. and find a better position to shoot him at. if that fails than try pre-fire when he comes around the corner.

5. Don't let a shitty score discourage you. I've had tons of shitty scores but thats how everyone learns from their mistakes and knows what to improve on. can't use a AK? well try a colt....cant use a colt? try an AK. Like awping? well go to awp_map and DO NOT! tunnel vision. meaning double zoom. why? its hella bad and yo have no Area of Vision. AOV. all you see is what your pointing at and you could get smoked from just 2 inches to the right or left.

6. Learn to switch quick to pistol once your primary is done. the command should be hud_fastswitch 1 and its good its your friend pistols are good. many mistakes ppl do is run away when their prime is out of ammo. well chase after them with your pistol and and get as close as possible because whats left after pistol? knife! knife as quick as you can.

7. Know your situation. Get HEADPHONES headphones help. i used to close my eyes and listen. so i know which direction their coming from mostly in pubs 70% of the newbies run without walkin so making them loud you know whats up and whats around you. know your radar look at it know whats up know whats down. know your position and where your teammates are at.

8. and last but not least. get a feel for your configuration settings. know what your sensitivity is and how you like it. some ppl tweak the shit out of their configs just so they get a feeel for everything. all in all its you, YOUR the one who decides what to do and how to handle whats going on. how you gonna pick ppl off. remember their positions. pre-fire if you can man you can just shoot into empty space sometimes not knowing if their there or not just do it...chances are 50/50 either their there at that spot or not. never hurts to shoot. unless your the last one you DONT wanna make alotta noise.

When i played in leagues UGS-M and CAL-M hell i practices like 3-4 hours a day...mostly scrims and aim_ak-colt.bsp

now that im starting up again i notice that my awping is hella bad but my ak-colt is still ok...not that great but my USP is still awesome...

hope this helped in some sort of way...i just hate see'ing people play for hours on end and just *** around...im not saying its not supposed to be fun but HELL! why waste your time playing a game if your not gonna get good at it...i think its a waste of time. its like saying if i didnt play CS for 6 years since beta and i still had a 1:4 ratio i'd shoot myself

anyhow good luck

i use 'tunnel vision' only and on AWP_MAP I usually have scores around 10:1 K : D ratio, and whichever team I go to becomes winning team. What you do is, you know where your enemy is, you aim at him unzoomed and zoom to shoot. The time in which you are zoomed in should be below 1 second. Moving or searching a target in zoomed mode is total noob shit.

1x or 2x zooming with an awp is your own choice.

Rushing can either get you killed first or get you a few kills. I killed the whole CT team in dust by rushing (7 people hahaha) all at the B 2x doors, and they werent noobs.

its advice...it doesnt ness. make the player better. it just sends them in the right direction.

its like having no bases of knowing a game. if someone told you crouching is bettter you would prob do it all the time. but thats not the way to go. its easier to hit you n such.

your right. you play more to get better. but you cant get better if you dont know what to do.
