counter strike source how to get better help?

Ok we all know their are a lot of badass counter strike source players out their. me I suck a lot but some days im good. I'm just not sure what is wrong but I am asking anyone for help. most the time I ask them and they usally say one of these three things. 1) just play a lot. 2) have good internet. really I cant afford good internet and I live out in the country even though im a city kid I cant just up and move or get killer internet. or 3. 3) get better gaming equipment like mouses or laptops or pc's. all im asking is for any advice on how to get better not invest a lot of money. so if anyone like me is reading this or like a pro player can just help give advice to get better please give some help and tips I would really appreciate your help.

 

Well i played esea and have played cevo-i.
Good internet - nah, you only need a decent quality along as your ping isn't sky high i'd suggest below 100 ping
Play a lot- it helps for sure, but i wouldn't say it's completely true.
Get better equipment- again it does help, but not a necessity.

Honestly the biggest thing is working towards predictions, and preaims
Work on learning your recoil spread and trails
Know how to maneuver around and do smart plays
Learn to pay attention to radar at all times- the basics of multitasking

These are the basics you need and should work on to become better. Once you learn the basics it spreads out from there and you will then realize what else you need to learn and practice. Hope this helps!

 

how do I obtain these things that you listed or were is their videos or do I have to self teach my self

 

Well self experience helps especially just playing a lot of reg maps, but otherwise finding someone that has played reg and asking them to take you into a server and showing you pointers helps as well but hands on experience from just playing and watching what mistakes you make and learning from that is probably best thing to do.

Honestly when i first started playing and when i would die i would think right then and there what could i have of done different in that case to survive? Also what did i do wrong?

 

Play a lot and play against good opponents.

 

Get use to your mouse speed and rhythm. Pick a dpi and perfect it with your hand movements. Recoils vary from gun to gun. GunGame/Deathmatch is a great place to practice and hone in on the skills and precision.
Unfortunately Practice is the key to it. Also don't get bothered by others remarks or when you die. Next round is just another experience ready to play. Ping/Internet plays a role here. But some of the best skilled players i have seen really dont have the best internet. Closer to 0 ping is amazing but a challenge for them to play against higher pings too. All around a ping between 40-100 is great. Fps help too. But keep in mind your eyes can only see 48 fps. So top dogging a graphics card for css is unimportant. You get 40-200 fps your set too.. But set yourself in a grove you are good at and Perfect it..

 

I might add that a pair of headphones is important. Ive been plaing CS for a while and listining for footsteps is important. To b able to hear the other team come around a corner is important. Good luck

 

^^This is good advice.

I played CAL-i and CEVO-p with wcR and GXS. There's a huge difference between being a good league player, and being a good pub player. I'm assuming OP is talking about pubbing? I guess one of the most important things for pubbing is aim, along with some of the other things Count mentioned. As for aim, I'd recommend playing with nothing but deagle for like a week straight. It'll teach you patience, and to really get those strafe/stop/headshots down. When you switch back to full autos, you should never be spraying more than 2-3 bullets at a time. You should also go into a server by yourself and study the burst patterns of the most common guns(use a wall at different distances to see where your bullets go). In leagues, for the most part, the only guns that were used were colt, ak, awp, deagle, mp5, and default pistols. You should really master those, as they're the most effective for the price. AK's my personal favorite because it's a 1-shot kill even if the enemy has vest+helm. Colt does about 83dmg if they have a helmet, so you need a 2nd bullet. Anyway, I'm rambling... If you want a private lesson let me know. The advice is different based on where you want to take your game. I've been playing since 1.3, and have played against a lot of the best teams in the world (for the time... circa 2003-2007).
