General Discussion / CS:GO Beginners Bible.
« on: June 18, 2014, 07:49:31 PM »
This might look ridiculously fucking long as a "beginners" guide but i assure you it covers fucking EVERYTHING outside of specific nade throws, map knowledge and random tidbits. Once you've read and understood the things in here the only thing left is to go and "get good".

Posting this for all people looking to get into CS:GO but don't know where to start, its quite different from CoD and other FPS' games with its mechanics and economy system.
I won't be going into detail about stuff since i'm going to assume people in here have no real idea of how to play CS. There's alot of useful stuff in here even if you do, however.
Im using alot of peoples content since what i can write is only so good, these links hold everything you need at great quality, i will just direct to what you need from them.

How to get started
1) Read the Starter/Basics guide. Even if you skip over the technical stuff at the beginning, The rest of it is GOLD information if you have no idea how CS is played. http://forums.absurdminds.net/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=2198 From the post titled "Weapons" and down is great.
2) Read and look at the recoil mechanics. CoD and other shooters have completely different recoil, in counter strike the bullets do NOT go where your cursor is placed, you will see in the link what i mean. http://twowordbird.com/articles/csgo-recoil-mechanics/ This means you have to adjust your aim for the recoil while you are spraying, so you would start aiming at the head and quickly progress to aiming near his feet / legs because the actual bullets are firing at his head still.
3) Watch these videos -
Rifle/gunplay -
Crosshair Placement -
Peeking -
Stutter step -
4) Go play and get used to what you've just read / seen. Play casual, DM, anything. Once you've done steps 1, 2 & 3 you know everything you need to play CS at a basic level, the rest is either aim practice or advanced stuff. You really need to practice, practice, practice to get a feel for the game.
Going into an empty game to see gun sprays at a wall is a great idea, Doing 100 kills with each rifle (AK/M4/Famas/Galil) in a DM server also a great idea. (I know people who do this daily. lol.)
5) Onwards, read through the other two guides i posted which go over some of the same stuff in more detail and newer, more advanced things. Go over the rest of the links i've posted, theres alot of useful stuff you can learn from them.
Practice like a mother fucker.
