So you just started playing Counterstrike? With more than 200,000 players online at any given point in time, it remains one of the most popular first person shooter computer games. Let me guess. You’re probably getting "pwned." You swear you’re shooting directly at the person, yet it seems the bullets don’t even touch him. On the other hand, your opponents take you down in seconds with a finely placed headshot. Let me try to help.
Here are some Counterstrike Tips for the weapons used in the game:
1. Knife: Ahh, the knife. It has two different attacks, the primary attack (fast, but weak) and the secondary attack (slow, strong) So what should you use? In a knife fight, you want to deal the most damage as possible. Therefore you want to go for the UPPER BODY. For beginners, I recommend going at the upper body with the fast attack so you guarantee yourself a hit. As you get better go with the slow attack for even more damage. An addition tip: jumping toward you opponent with the knife and aiming for the head is also an effective and deadly method. If you’re jumping and your opponent is slashing at your heard, what is he going to hit? Your feet, of course, for a measly 8 pts of damage.
2. Pistols- Don’t underestimate the power of the pistol. While it is a secondary weapon, it can save your life when you run out of ammo.
Here are some Counter Strike Tips for the most commonly used pistols in the game:
A: USP Tactical: The counter-terrorist default pistol. This is one of my favorite pistols in the game. It has a relatively fast rate of fire so get ready to work your pointer finger and press that that left mouse button as fast as you can! The USP has a low recoil so aim for the upper torso/head for maximum damage.
B: Glock: The default counter-terrorist pistol. I don’t particularly like it. It packs less punch than its counter-terrorist counterpart and its rate of fire is slower. However, it does have a 3-round burst alternate fire mode which is particularly powerful if fired into the upper torso/head. However the 3 round burst mode has a even slower rate of fire than semi-automatic mode so you better make sure you take your opponent out with the first burst. An effective tactic for the burst would be firing into an opponent and then strafing right or left and then unloading another 3 rounds burst to take him out. Obviously this only works in close quarters battle.
C: Desert Eagle: Now, we’re talking! This baby packs quite a punch than the regular pistol. This along with the USP Tactical is usually the sidearm of choice for most CSers, especially snipers. Three well placed shots to the upper body is usually enough to take down even an armored foe. However, one has to beware of this weapon’s recoil. It jumps up a bit after every shot. Therefore I recommend you aim your first shot into the upper part of your opponent’s abdomen. Successive shots will hit higher and higher in your opponent’s body. Unfortunately, the Deagle is a close range weapon. It’s accuracy from afar is horrible.
This concludes Part One of my Counterstrike Tips.
