Personally, I don't see why the elites are so pooh-poohed.

Sure, you might as well through your feces @ your enemies if you're using them @ long range.

But @ short and medium range, it just doesnt get any better. The high recoil is irrelevant, and one can engage many bogeys at a time.

The problem is that cs has become a very medium and long range game. Colts, Aks, Augs, Sgs, and AWM/P's dominte the game. If you just pick up a pair of dual berreta elites and take them for a one round spin, you're bound to be disappointed.

In order to appreciate the power of the elites, you must put yourself into the mindset of a shotgun/mac-10 user and setup short range situations.

In addition to owning in short range situations, the elites are excellent backup to a mac-10, tmp, shotty, or sniper rifle strategy.



Also, glocking is much harder than knifing. Why? Two good stabs takes out a bogey with full hp. Most people have no idea they're even being knifed, since it is rather quiet and fast. Glocks, generally, take at least 9 rounds to take out a 100 hp enemy, and, even if you take him by surprise, still take at least double the time to eliminate him, thus giving him much more time to twirl and bust a 5.56 or 7.62 in your piehole.

haha I loved this one...

Another nice advantage of this gun is when your enemy sees it in your hands they often mistake it for a glock and then get surprised by the stopping power and the fact that they are dead after only a few shots.

If you're close enough that they can pick it out in your hands that well, then you're dead anyway! sheesh!

I think that best is USP .45, but well if you are a T you have to spend at least 500$ plus 100 $ to buy all the rounds, so it s a bit expensive, generally i use golck when in T, but i like more USP .45 or desert eagle, last one is best but much expensive

*shrugs*



Deagle is the primary gun i use on the first round, power, penetration, and accuracy, all you need to rack a few kills in CS.

Glock and De ... no other comments ...

[R0ww!3]

Deagle : U shoot all the bullets and miss all the bullets, then u got to reload when ur enemy just shoot u down.



Glock : A big joke!



USP. 45 : A good gun i like the silencier,but this isnt my favorit gun



FiveSeven : A good gun, but only CT can use it Iam borned to be a terrorists



Dual Berrettas : Nope.



P228 : This is my favorit. It got 13 powerful bullets in one ammo, u only needs 6-9 bullets and the P228 is easy to aim with the gun doesnt move so much in the hand when u fire, so you can fire fast and kill your enemy fast.

All pistols are good, these are some of the tricks.....



Use the glocky 3-round burst like the m3, meaning ya jump a lot, and close it on to ya quarry's face.



Use the usp like errrrr........ a normal pistol and slam off about 4 shots rapidly into the midriff of the opponent and reload.

When silenced, sneak up behind the enemy in ' ninja mode ' for a quick headshot a.k.a backstabber style....



Use the sig like a shotgun as well but don't jump becos its accuracy is even worse then the glock.....



Use the deagle like a powerful sledgehammer, at close range double-tap with the D.E while aiming at ya prey's neck and viola ! Headshot....

At medium range, try to hit your strafing enemy at least once to slow him down, do not fire off too rapidly otherwise u would be gunned down while reloading.

For long range, crouch and fire slowly, go for the torso of your prey...



Use the fiveseven like the usp, but fire faster as u need to lay more shots to your enemy....

Try to keep your distance as other pistols (except the elites ) will frag u first.....

Strafing around and jumping with the fiveseven is good as it is accurate

At long range, aim at your quarry's neck and double tap....your quarry's head will sprew blood like a fountain....



The elites er.................... do not seem to have any applicable tactics, jumping is hopeless, ducking does not help....... the only way to circle your enemy to death while firing non-stop....

But for slow fire work they are usually suffciently accurate to nail your opponent but it usually takes too long........

[Mofo_Chink69]

so many ppl underestimate the dual berettas. just cuz there weak dun mean their not good... they kick ass as a backup for mac-10 and are very good for close quarters.

[onearmedscissor]

just my opinion no1 has to listen 2 me but GLOCK RULES no recoil an' no rof makes me horny at close range

[TAk]

I just don't get why all U people love the usp. I personally think it flat out blows. The p228 is the single best pistol in the game. It's a 357. and it has one more bullet in the magazine than the usp does. The p228 has low recoil too. A good triple tap at the neck is good for a headshot and if U just hit them center mass 5 times they go down. U can easily get two people at least with the p288 before U have to reload.



Easily the Deagle is second best pistol because its oh so beefy. The only two downsides are its recoil and magazine capacity. I remember when U used to start with the deagle as T(so much better than glock).



I never use the duallies they just flat out suck my nuts, they are innacurate when U are firing fast and if u can't get them off fast what good is the magazine capacity. Also these are just way to weak.



Glock, only good thing is the three round burst. Really I would have been happier if the T's started with the knife instead of this I am always tempted to use it when really U have a better chance of knifing someone.



The usp I only use during a pistols round because I have money for armor and that can be a huge advantage against someone with a glock.



FIve-seven has ammo capacity which is the only feature I like for it. It takes me way to long to kill someone with this. I basically have to shoot them with every bullet in the clip and not miss.

[TAk]

I hate do this but I have to for all the other p228 fans out there. Now I know the original skin didn't do this gun justice at all. So I am going to tell everyone to go to www.cs-skins.net and get the sig Saint p228 skin for cs. It coems with the a readme file that will tell U how to install it. Also u guys need to get more skins and weapons skins. They rock.

Yo tak, i agree with u saying p228 rules but i dun agree with duallies sucking man, they are so fucking good for rushing and close quarters cuz u get so many hs with them, u can fire duallies just as fast as an mp5(trick is, use the mouse wheel as fire and just roll the wheel up and down and voila!) it's as fast or faster than mp5, it works with all pistols except deagle...but still, it's best for the duallies...a pair of kickass handguns.

[Mofo_Chink69]

And Tak, if u wanna kill with style, use the 5-7, it's not powerful like u said but it's just so accurate, if ur skilled with getting hs, then this should be ur weapon of choice, and if u get hs with this gun everytime, ppl wont get pissed cuz that's what the 5-7's for.
