Counter-Strike 101

Amped Gaming News has written up an assortment of helpful Counter-Strike guides, ranging from aiming, clan tactics, specific weapon guides, and much more. Although aimed for the new players, there are bound to be some interesting tips to be read upon by more experienced veterans.

» Two bullet bursting



If you shoot with two bullets, then the first one is dead on and if you hit him in the head with a two bullet burst, then there is a bigger chance that he is dead than with a single bullet burst. The first bullet hits the head dead-on and the second one is a little of target due to recoil but there is a big chance you'll hit him with the second bullet in the head also and if the first bullet is a hit then it doesn't matter where the second one hits, just as long as it hits. He will be dead for sure.

As stated, regardless of experience, you may find something useful on this informative guide that can be read here.

Very good read, even if you dont't think you'd learn anything, it's a good summary.

[artemis]

wait...isn't this just vesslan's guide, with no credit given?

[DchozN]

while i will keep my opinions to myself on vesslan's guide, they may be similar in some aspects, but are different in the end if you read carefully.

[Bokuho]

Well... it's 'okay' I guess. It uses alot of run-on sentances - the hall mark of bad writing. And it's obviously aimed (no pun intended) for the novice player. That said, it's alright I guess. I dind' get anything out of it but I'm sure some people will.

Who wrote this, my little brother? Does no one else realize how poorly that is written?

[EastsideKnifeKillah]

It´s almost like copy/paste from that vesslans article. Even those pictures of the awp technique are the same if im not mistaken.

Well apparently, 'Nate' wrote it. Nope, I've never heard of him either. Though during the guide he repeatedly makes as if he's in SK - maybe I'm just missing something vital here, but IIRC there is no 'Nate' in any of the SK teams. In other words, he's a random (hell, check his profile - he's American, so that rules out him being in one of the SK CS teams) that copy&pasted another guide, put his name on the credits and changed the odd occasional word.

lol just the part dchozn quoted is so funny, i almost read it for the hilarity, but decided it would be an utter waste of time.

[Pharlap]

the article is written probably much better than most of the "teens" on this site post :)

Actually, that statement is sadly very true...

Guides can't make you better, just expierience

"It keeps me trained to aim at headheight and also learns me what the headheight is at certain distances."



wow... was this written by a seven-year-old?
