If you could give one tip on better play in CS: S, what would it be?

yeah, i need tips

Listen. Sound is your friend.

Play more. Its the best way I'm afraid.

Make sure your rates are: rate 25000, cl_updaterate 100, cl_cmdrate 100

Have fun.

Stay away from me.

play lots

Don't listen to my advice!


Rush when flashed.
Be unpredictable at best.
Keep up the pressure.
Fall back as an absolute last resort.
Run in just as you flash to blind yourself and them. You gain so much ground they don't realise how close you are till it's too late often.

lol metty's played CEVO, CAL, ED, various i-LANS, he's such a pro he can use the above tactics and they pay off for him

my PROTIP still stands
shoot at people until they die
make them die before you and you ALWAYS win

Mine is better and can be applied to any situation.

kill them before they kill you is the best and most usable tip ever :p

Ogris, your tip is of no use in a situation where you aren't playing.

enable god mode works a treat........

Damn... Brain isn't working well

stay away from toxic on compound ... that sad sad boy :P

never play me on CS:S easy one

Stay away from people with MG's and sniper rifles of various forms

uninstall the game. you have my word that you'll never ever loose if you do this

*lose.

and don't uninstall, it's a great game

Go on Deathmatch servers to improve your aim. You will get your aim to be faster and more accurate = you better at CSS.
This is coming from my personal experience, it may not be the same with you.

Stay in your spawn, especially if you're CT on hostage maps

Or a T on bomb maps.

phew, okay thanks for the replies

Stay away from ogris, check

play on DM servers, i do already, they have helped somewhat :p just annoying when you kill someone and they respawn right behind you... grrr...

Sound, i use it as best i can, its not easy when theres a lot around you though.

shoot untill they die? well what if they shoot me first

play often... i play too much and i still suck!

Trust me, playing more will be the best way to improve. I don't mean by spending more hours on it each day, but each time you do play it you will slightly improve.

CS:S was pretty much my first ever PC game. Started playing it about 2 and a half years ago and I was absolutely crap. Had no idea what to do and I couldn't even use a keyboard and mouse. Getting a kill was just an absolute rarity. All my friends would pwn me all the time, and it stated that way for ages. I slowly improved over time and can now play level headed against my friends
