i always felt that aiming for the head is counter intuitive as the recoil will go up straight away and if you miss your first shot, you're going to miss the next few unless you pull down immediately, is it better to aim around the neck and let the recoil go up and hit head (giving you some time to pull down)? or is this the dumbest thing ever heard

I think I tend to aim at head level, and as soon as my first bullet fly, I pull down. That means that if I get the head, AK win, M4 semi win, and the following bullets will follow in the chest.

Aim at the head. Control the spray down. That is the best way. If you do it the other way you might succeed at lower levels (and yes it works at lower levels) but then you will get stuck in a bad habit and get rolled by better players. Its not that hard. You just need to get into the habit of controling the spray down. Ive never tried but there are lots of aim maps and stuff Im sure are quite useful. Also I think theres some guides out there. Very basic stuff but if you have no idea it goes along way. + Show Spoiler +
Personally i figured it out myself because 1) Im to lazy, and 2) my 1.6 ego wouldnt let me look shit up so I would just figure it out in DM. But thats not the way I would suggest anyone else to do it.


Unless you have someones back turned and you want to guarantee to land a 3-4 bullet burst then you can cheat on this a bit + Show Spoiler +
also sometimes the way the models are the head position is wonky with the opponents back turned so you might miss it.


Generally with the way angles work once you play enough your natural crosshair placement will be aiming at head level even if your just running around and not really peaking angles. That just comes with practice.

100% this. In higher levels everyone will be aiming on the head and pulling down, and will always have a huge advantage over someone who wastes a couple of bullets aiming at the neck and waiting for the crosshair to pull up. Besides, if you miss on the way up, you're going to have to pull down again making it harder to control the spray vs just starting at the head and controlling all bullets to the same location.

There's the recoil master custom map that could help you with that. Not sure if that's the best map for that exact purpose, but it may help.

Just aim for the head first and learn how to control the next bullets. Not much more to do than feel it and figure out yourself how to adjust the aim accordingly. Don't forget to try at multiple distances (you can configure that, as long with a lot of other parameters, in the map).

when ur running and suddenly need to shoot, is the best way to stop just to tap the key in the opposite direction to the way u were running

I thought crouching is the fastest way to reduce the movement inaccuracy.

Tapping the opposite direction's key is faster than just releasing the key you were holding anyway. Not sure about crouching. It has other advantages / disadvantages, so that's not a silver bullet.

You can also get a 5-7/Tec9 and not care about stopping.

is this because they are more accurate moving, or because of their magazine size or high headshot dmg

Basically everything you mentioned but probably not the ammo capacity not so much. Tec9 has ridiculously low running inaccuracy (lowest by quite a margin) while the FN 5-7 has pretty average running accuracy amongst pistols. They're both lethal on head armour below 500 units (~9-10m). Tec9 is generally speaking a better run and gun weapon.

For both because they have a quite sizeable magazine (Five-Seven has 20, Tec9 has 24 IIRC). The Tec9 is the most accurate pistol when running, the 5-7 not as good, but still decent and incredibly powerful at relatively short distance (even in the chest with kevlar, as both have a 90% armor penetration). Both kill with a headshot at short/mid distance even with a helmet.

@Nixer: I would think this is quite a bit farther than that for the headshot. I'll try on a custom map with units indications.

Let go of the direction key you're going, and tap the key in the opposite direction.

It's not, I've looked it up and tested it.

All the way to the right side you have "fatal headshot range (helmet)". The numbers are in "units", and you run 250 units per second, or 1000 units in four seconds.

How popular are hacks in cs:go? I played sc2 and LoL and I can't remember the last time I played against an obvious cheater in any of those games but just today I met two blatant wallhackers in a row in casual games. I remember cheating was a big problem in cs 1.6 but didn't expect it to carry over to cs:go. Was I unlucky/paranoid or is wide spread cheating a real thing in this game?

Cheating is still a ridiculously large problem in cs. I'm facing a hacker probably every 4th match, although it's hard to know for sure as it can be hard to tell a hacker and smurf apart.

I heard in casual there is a lot of cheaters, but once you get into normal competitive matchmaking there won't really be any cheaters at all.
