Learn From The Best

Posted by The Oracle at 04:35 27/12/2002.

If you really suck at CS (like St. George :D ) then gotFrag? has a little something that just might help improve your game, or possibly make it worse, but I think more of the former than the latter. Getting on with it, KryptoN has interviewed numerous players from top US and Europe clans asking them how someone could improve their game of CS. Here comes the juicy quotes copied and pasted just for you:
SK|Potti:

“Hard to say , everyone have there own thing they need to do to improve , for example the less I play cs public the better I get in clan wars donno why , some people get better aim off playing a lot of public. But the best way imo is to play a lot of scrims (pcw as we say in euro) practice clan war.”

zEx|sunman:

“If you want to get better with you team, you got to scrim/pcw all the time with them to develop teamwork. If you’re looking on improving your personal game, you just got to work at it on your own, learn on how to shoot diff. weapons depending on the one you have. I never was taught or told how to play, it just came naturally. So if you’re meant to play CS it will come in time and practice.”

There's much more where that came from if you decide to click me.

I've noticed what desk you're playing on can have an effect - I can't aim nearly as well on the desk I'm using atm (pull out keyboard tray type) as I can on a normal single tier desk, because I can hold the mouse better with a normal desk. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Yeh del, its to do with different heights i think.
One thing i think thats pretty important that no1 mentioned ( maybe mysse did) is the stuff you use, youll never be as good as heaton if you use a piece of carpet for a mousemat and a 2 button ball mouse...having the best quality equipment helps alot.. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I find that my game goes up when I do something new and then slowly declines, when I came back after a few months out I was on fire and now my games gone into gradual decline though Im not sure what causes it.

I think a lot of good players would be a lot better if they stuck to the same configuration rather than changing, I am victim of that hoping by tweaking here and there I might get a little bit of added performance. I think in the long term its better to stick with one sensitivity, one set of rates and one resolution for a long period. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Its better to stick with the right one, and how how do you know what that is if you never change it? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

thing is you'll never find the "right" setup for you unless you test new (possibly better) things. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Even if you can find a perfect setup, you're not likely to have it at lan. I have to look right up at my monitor, at lan I'm looking down at it. Makes everything feel very strange and takes time to adjust to that. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

If you don't spend time thinking about the excuses you'll make for playing crap at LAN and blank out all the factors that are different from your home pc you'll find you will play much better. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i play with my keyboard below my mouse both held at angles (almost sideways), i dont really have any trouble adjusting at LAN where the mouse/keyboard is at the same level. As long as i have enough room to turn my keyboard to the side :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I think that actual config variables dont make much difference... mostly what makes a huge difference to me is how im sitting, what height my chair is and where my mouse and keyboard are on my desk... these things matter not stuff like sensitivity and res

if you get your sens and everything right the rest of it is easy, but its rare a LAN will have exactly the same pc setup as you, like same size monitor same os etc [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Are you running Windows 98 only because the CPL does it? Or is it the best OS for Counter-Strike?

Yeah I use Win98 because of the CPL, otherwise I think I would use Win2K that's probably the best.

One way to be better - never accept a match on a f*cking Worldw*rX server.

Great fun seeing 1 headshot register per map that your team fired, and someone on their team blessed with a decent lan like connection taking out your whole team singlehandedly because no one can getting a f***ing shot to hit on them... [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
