Last weekend we conducted 4chan PMQ/Q&A #3, with 1400 people contributing 4500 posts over 22 hours. I managed to spend the better part of a day answering as many questions as possible—thread here.
Since loading large threads can be a bit of a pain on slower computers, you can also see my replies from the /q/ index (hover over the "Administrator Replies" quotelinks).

Thanks to everyone who asked questions and participated!

The only thing correctly stated so far is learn the maps. This goes for ALL fps games. Learn the maps first, then you can work on getting good, so just start playing them all.

>>190981981
>crouch

>>
Burst or single fire. Never move while shooting, but move between shots. When you need to hit off one accurate shot, crouch, shoot, move.

Spraying only works at close range, but you have to spray at specific spots to hit shit.

Learn the maps inside out, play a shitton.
>>
Only guns worth using are the AK and the M4

Memorize exactly where someone's head would be if they run around a corner
Aim your gun to that spot
Crouch so that one pixel of your crosshair is peeking out from behind cover

Oh yeah, also memorize how long it takes for you to get to the middle of the map where you are most likely to encounter an enemy at the start of a round.Once you have that memorized, time it yourself and throw grenades at the beginning of every match.

Seems that knowing the maps is the equivalent to good macro in starcraft 2, is that a right assumption?

are there any pro mlg secrets about the various maps?

Basically, just get good at firing 1-3 shots at people's heads in a split second. If you can't get the hang of it after about a month of playing pubs daily it's probably not for you. Skill is only part of it.

It's a game about quick reactions and precision, that's something you either have or you don't. Some people just aren't wired for CS and will never get good. This might be you OP.

There are people who have been playing CS since the original mod daily and still aren't very good. It's what the fighting game community calls a scrub. It's not a terrible thing to be it just means you won't be good at CS no matter how hard you try.

>>
>>190981737 (OP)
Learn to preaim, you should be aiming where the enemy will be

Learn every map so that you know exactly how fast each team can get to what intersections

Practice getting quick kills; you should be shooting in 2 - 5 (5 being an absolute maximum) bullet bursts, which should be killing your enemy if your preaim and reaction time are good. But spraying is good if you fuck it up (learn spray patterns, you need to be aiming low and controlling the recoil so that you have a high % of bullets hitting your target), you'll see it used even in progames

Figure out a middle-tier weapon that really clicks with you, or ones that specifically enable you to use unique strategies on certain maps.

Buy the p250 in the pistol round. Just fucken do it. And a flash.

Don't rush around corners unless you know they CAN'T be there. This ties into learning great map awareness, hopefully you have a communicating team and you can piece together what the enemy team is doing based off activity from your team

Listen for footsteps

Flash round corners if you must push up but try to go with at least 2 people. Don't assume a flash bang means the enemy outside is going to be blind

Smoke up long sniper alleys so they can't hit anything.

Don't have more than 1 AWP on your team if possible. Don't be the AWP guy if you can't reliably kill people as soon as they're visible.

You can, but there is a limit to these things. Some people are just slower than others and will struggle with it and fine no joy in the game.

Training only goes so far. I've had plenty of friends who hit that wall so to speak and could just never get past it. It didn't matter how rigorous their training was there are certain limits people have and it changes from person to person.
>>
I feel like the game is too inconsistent with its own mechanics. People talk about mastering the recoil, but so often you're moving, be it running or walking. When you inevitably make contact, I'd either try a flick shot or simply stand still for a second to get the instant head shot.

Whether or not that flick shot will register as a headshots feels ultimately up to chance. Sometimes I get headshots, sometimes I miss entirely. It's the same with when I stand still. Sometimes its an instant kill, other times I'll have to continue spraying down. Ultimately I enjoy the way the weapons feel and sound, but I've mostly grown completely out of all the modes, now preferring deathmatch.

I can never decide myself what I like better. COD 4 feels arcadyy, CS feels tight and Bad Company 2 and feels like a good mix between the two.
>>
>>190983327
>p250 in the pistol round

Don't do this, it's only good for armour penetration, it's as accurate as a p2000. Hardly anyone buys armour on the pistol round

>>190983197
I used to play 5 hours of DM a day in 1.6 to get my aim on a decent level. But aim isn't even that important in CS, experience and fast decision making is.

There's a gun that does 100 damage in 1 shot (100 being max HP) that costs $2000

Some walls you can't break anon. Part of growing up is realizing which ones are which.

First off, unbind crouch. You dont need it and anyone who argues this is probably a gold nova shitter.

Second, google spray patterns of guns and remember at least 2-3 you use regularly such ask AK, M4 and p250.

Next, before you have a match in competive play a casual or a map with bots to warm up, get used to the game etc.

When you're running, NEVER aim at the floor, always keep your crosshair at head height. Also, google how to change your crosshair so it is a lot smaller than the standard size, for example mine is a dot a couple of pixels wide.

Now just pratice, practice, practice. Keep your volume turned up and listen to people running etc. Also use walk near corners that people may be around etc so they cant hear you.

Very rarely is it a positive to be crouched. Staying mobile in CS is the best way to survive and crouching is 9 times out of 10 going to get you shot in the head by someone who at least has a rough idea how to play the game.

Preferably the first thing you should learn in this game is how to stutterstep but i get that will be hard for a lot of new players.

Basically just dont stay still, its bad

>>190984948

Instead of just saying "lel no crouch faggots" how about saying something constructive to back up your point?

Unbinding crouch is the best way for new players to learn how to move and fire rather than just standing still and spraying, effectively learning them the most fundamental move in the game, the stutterstep.

Once you get that sorted then put crouch back in and then use it when its needed. And really the only time crouch helps is behind cover, the accuracy bonus of it is redundant considering that the first shot while standing is always accurate and then depending on the weapon, the next 1-4 shots are basically spot on but higher and a slight deviant to the right.

And OP, if you dont believe me watch any pro streamers and look at how often they crouch. Hell give me your steam ID and I'll add you when i get home and you can spectate me. Global Elite here and i can gurantee you my info is better than half the shit other people are going to give you.

>>190986835
EAS isn't close to EPS. It's what EAS players want to believe. And online leagues aren't even close to LAN events, where actual good players are at.
>>
>>190987201
the EAS has 4 divisions the first 2 teams of the first division go up into EPS whereas the last 2 teams from the EPS drop down into the EAS
>>
>>190987389
And this means they are close to players in EPS in terms of skill how?
The gap between shittiest pro players and good amateurs is huge.
