Why can I not improve no matter how hard I try? Last edited by Zero ; 20 Oct, am. Showing 1 - 15 of comments. Looking at your stats and your hours, you are not kidding. I would suggest you start we your computer performance and settings. For example what framerate are you playing at, what res. What is your mouse sensitivity eDpi, i.

Do you practice your aim and movement at all? Getting fps on Inferno. Lowest possible graphics settings. Sensitivity 2. Xiiro View Profile View Posts. I Think its also about knowing tactics smokes, etc. Ans having a team which also knows tactics. For instance, if you are moving to the right, you have to press the left key to counter that movement.

At a certain moment you will come to a halt. You can just keep hold of both keys to stop and remain stopped, but you can also release the key of your prior movement and tap the counter-key to stop just that a little bit quicker. This is heavily timing-based though, so it has a higher skill ceiling and a greater chance of failure. Your writer has to unfortunately admit that it took him some time before he understood this was a thing in CS:GO.

There is a very predictable spray pattern every weapon has in this game, especially the AK and both the M4 rifles have an easy to control path you can follow. It follows the form of the number seven, which you have to counter by moving your mouse the other way.

The easiest way of practicing is to make a game for yourself, with or without bots, where you spray against the wall and see the pattern emerge. With the next magazine you can try to counter that pattern and see how you can group the impacts more closely together. This in turn will make it easier for you to spray down enemies as you are in control, not the weapon.

If you feel you are ready to compete, or your friends are really bugging you to play with them, you can jump in when you have reached the level requirement. The goal of a competitive match is to reach 16 rounds first, or 15 if it ends up being a draw. For this, two halves will be played out, of which the second often is played in full because either team has to reach the needed 16 rounds.

You either start on the Terrorist or Counter-Terrorist side at the first half and have to act accordingly. When starting on the Counter-Terrorist side it is of vital importance you keep the Terrorists of the bomb sites. You can either go towards the A or B site and hold down the offence that might be coming your way. You either win the round by defusing the bomb if it is planted, kill all the opposing players before the bomb is planted or have the timer run out before the bomb is planted.

Of course you will lose when the bomb explodes, or all of the Counter-Terrorists fall. On the Terrorist side it is slightly easier to understand. You either let the bomb explode or kill all the Counter-Terrorists before the timer runs out. A half will take 15 rounds, meaning that you either play 15 rounds on the Terrorist or Counter-Terrorist side before switching. When looking at the best options for weapons, there are a few to take into account.

The AWP is the strongest and most expensive single shot sniper rifle. Every shot which you hit above the legs is an instant kill, unless of course there is a wall in the way.

A leg shot will usually deal about 85 damage to an armoured target. You can buy this weapon regardless of which side you are on. On the Terrorist side, the AK is the usual weapon of choice. This game, like all respectable FPS games, require more than just simply reaction time to succeed. One must learn the unique properties of each weapon in the game, how to control and utilize their properties recoil, bullet spread, etc , as well as a myriad of other skills and tactics which will allow you to achieve your objectives.

Accurate reflex firing, a firm understanding of map layout, line of sight, game instinct, close range shooting tactics, long range shooting tactics, and engaging multiple targets who posses various types of weaponry are only SOME of the possible skills you can potentially learn and develop while playing this game.

Anyone with a decent hand-eye reaction time will be able to get some kills in a pub, but that's all you will achieve. And by much time I mean months and years, not days and weeks. Sounds hardcore? Sure it is. It's far from it Reality is an illusion. I'm not new to FPS games. I've been really spoiled by Call of Duty on my PS3 , where you could literally spam your LMG at a doorway or through walls and get random kills. I've been playing TF2 for the quite a while now, yet CS is a completely different game.

What guns do you recommend for newbies like me? I usually just hit the auto buy option. User Info: Jordanmrocks. First, it helped me a lot starting out changing my crosshair size and downloading a custom hot pink crosshair.

Second, find a nice pub with respectable people and good admins that you have a good connection on and just practice. I always practiced with my designated rifle aka AK for T and M4 for CT and focus on laying out aimed burst shots to your opponent. These guns are different in style, but you will find you will get used to them.

The M4 will give you an easier time in really close range I found, while I can pick off people's heads across the map easier with the AK, but its all practice and opinion really.

After much practice and mastering your bursts start trying to aim for the head and after a while you will be pulling headshots left and right. Then I learned how to use all the different weapons such as the scout and learned how to use the desert eagle skillfully for backup. Also, play gun games, they improve your skill with all weapons.
