Not to defend Source, but I've always found it funny how playing the latest version of Counter-strike is looked down on. When 1.0 came out, the hardc0re d00ds kept playing beta; when bunny hopping was fixed, it was hip to still play 1.0; by the time 1.6 was released, cool people were playing 1.3, etc. I imagine when the next Counter-strike game is released, everyone playing 1.6 now will switch to Source and claim it's the best game ever.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

I wouldn't say I played at a high level. I've played with high level players and I played enough to know high level players. I played in leagues with friends for 3-4 years. I was always in-game leader or called strats. I enjoyed outsmarting people since I was brought up playing rts games like starcraft so I didn't have the fps 'instinct' to hs everything.

Plus let's face it white boys got the FPS games on lock for the most part.

I always thought Tiffany was the ' cs 1.6 ' guy here at TL simply because in the old threads he always knew what he was talking about and I believe he worked for gotfrag or dpad at one point.

Shadowdrgn, that used to be the case until a couple years ago. Most competent/non-retards don't care about it anymore. In fact I switched over to source too and played it in CEVO with friends until our team couldn't put in time anymore. People just have to realize they are two totally different games. It's starting to become more like the starcraft and warcraft analogy. At first everyone looked down upon wc3 and it's still a running joke here at TL, but ask anyone seriously and they will say after starcraft, war3 is probably the best rts or that it's very well made.

But also like starcraft I would say it's foolish to think source takes more skill than 1.6...In fact most people agree that 1.6 takes more skill. But again, they are two totally different games.

Edit: Look at how css: promod failed.

1. Get a good wired internet connection (T3 would be nice) with a gaming router hopefully counter-strike has it's ports forwarded
2. Great gaming rig with soaring FPS (200+ preferablly and that is easily done with a good dual core and an 8800 gt.)
3. Great gaming mouse i recommend the G9 for these FPS games
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104079
4. Claw hand position (look it up online)
5. Great mousepad
6. Very responsive monitor
7. and a lot of spare time i guess

most of these things will just give you big advantages over your opponent at home


I totally agree.

1. You can find extra-responsive low latency LAN cards too for totally reasonable prices like $200, to go well with your $500/month fiber optic connection.

2. I tweaked my Q3 so that it always runs at 500+ fps. Otherwise it's basically unplayable. Same goes for CS. If it ever drops below 100 (like going 99 for a split second), you need to add some more video cards or at least drop all settings until everything looks like it's made of stacked boxes. Pros do that all the time. It's the ONLY way to roll in style.

3. Again, buy whichever is proer at the time. If you have the G9 and something insignificantly better comes along, you HAVE to throw your mouse away and get the new one. Can't let the competition get the best of you.

4. Also agreed, uncomfortable hand positions are the best. Whatever makes your hand feel like it's gonna get paralyzed, THAT's how you should use it. I've seen some russian gamers use their mouse sideways (no joke).

5. Anything over $50 will do. If you can't find anything over $50 just use a mirror or plain glass (mirror is better).

6. 2ms response time is A MUST. You can't just be waiting for your screen to change pixel coloring in 4ms, you'd be long dead by then. Long dead. Long. Dead.

7. Just stop hanging out with friends and/or girls, or studying and exercising, and you'll find that you have plenty of time left.

Seriously though, look for replays of finals from different events like WCG, ESWC with teams like eMg, noa, SK, mym, Emulate, etc. There are bound to be replays somewhere. Youtube videos are usually crap, unless they're taken from serious games/tournaments. Take that solo guy for instance, his aim is pretty sick but there are some situations where the opponents are simply retarded. Not to mention that I have friends who are faster with the artic than he is. You can see his scope that's just newbish (lulz).


USE DSL over cable in terms of response dsl is usually low in ping (depending on distance) cable is constant and usually is higher (if you live in a city chances are dsl over cable) of course fiber optic connection is best speed of light >speed of electricity but most of us cant spend 500$ a month of course hell if you spend 200 of a lan card why the fuck not.

Buy a good mobo (those lan cards more or less just do this but fuck nice mobo > nice lan card imo) hell mine off loads most of the Internet shit to my MCP which also free up my cpu.

Also i can prioritize packets from certain programs

Any frames over your refresh rate are dropped really you don't need more then your max refresh rate which even on the best crt is 120

Tape up your cords so they hang but don't get in your usual movement (makes the mouse feel less drag on a good mouse pad and a good mouse feels like your mouse is nothing) at lest with my mx518 which weights like a stock optical mouse (nothing) (my g9 is for work mostly macro ftw cuz it takes a special grip it favors claw (just using your fingers, most people use their full plam) and those who don't pick up mice also it's lazer

mouse terms Optical > lazer its more accurate to fast movements also cs isn't played on large resolutions as far as i am aware

if you buy lcd make sure you check for grey to grey response times 2ms is a must there (that is where most ghosting is) yes if you don't know ms is variants grey to grey off to on (black to white)
low black to white is very good though it means how fast a pixel can change full spectrum and yes grey to grey can be slower then black to white buy lower grey to grey over black to white

Buy a good head set one that doesn't feel like shit.

*note* he never asked for advice like this so atlest give correct advise, not opinion basied
I have ass for brains so,
even when I shit I'm droping knowledge.

For the most part, zonic. Sunde is amazing too, but he is an awper. Whimp is their newest player (replacing HPX) and the second best rifler/aimer on the team.

They usually update their site with new Demos from current events. I'd say watching demos isn't THAT helpful other than learning positioning and a few tips and tricks. The gameplay and aim comes from playing a whole lot and with a steady team.

I'd suggest we add eachother on Steam and get busy with it, but I realized that I usually get <10 ping on Romanian servers, which is highly unlikely if you guys are from the US (~150 i assume). Pity. :/
Im not a n00b, I just play like one.

not trying to brag at all or sound like an asshole, i probably will but whatever :D.

not many people really know what they are talking about, I've played with and against storm/warden/frod on lan a few times and storms definately the 2nd best aimer on coL to frod, without a doubt. I grew up playin games with corey tr1p dodd of coL/chicago chimera now, and he'll admit to you storms aim was better than wardens/sunmans/his.

In 1.1 bunnyhopping was super easy. In 1.3 it was a bit harder and you needed to use the mouse wheel, but it still existed. 1.3 was a better game than 1.1 anyways.

1.3 was released August 2001 and the X3/NiP match was that Winter CPL.

I'm not talking about compared to tr1p or summy, I mean frod/zet/rambo. Warden has really become pretty incredible since joining coL. Here's the test- how well do you think he'd do in Q3? fatality made the transition based on pure aim, and there's a lot of players who can switch back and forth and be insane on both games (like ksharp.)

[ultimate brag]Or I could just msg Rambo on aim and ask him (and he'd probably ignore me) [/ultimate brag]

BTW we really need a movie thread to post the best FPS movies in.
