if you already know all this then its not for you
some strategies from the stumpster . . .

first: buying weapons
if you dont already have them then please set your quickkeys for buying gear. if you dont know what im talking about or dont know how to do it then just xfire me and ill walk you through it. having quickkeys set will help you buy your guns faster and you wont forget to buy things. also when buying always buy a defusal kit for bombing maps (only $200). also keep in mind that flashbangs are cheap and deadly (only about $250 per flash).

second: the rush
DO NOT BE A CAMPING PUSS-E!! what i mean by this is that camping may get you one or two kills but it rarely wins the round and winning is what it's all about. when playing with your clanmates, put your personal score behind you and look at the team score. when pub'ing do what you want. ok, so getting to the rush . . . at the start of each round the most successful strategy is for the majority of your team to rush to a certain point of attack or defense. the few who do not rush to that point are primarily to make sure that the team doesnt get flanked or to spot the enemy. the advantage of rushing is to use the numbers of your team as your advantage, two is better than one. and if you can make it happen then 5 is better than 1 too.
rushing almost always catches the other team off guard. if you are on a PUB then it is still good to practice rushing but be warry your team probobaly wont back you up when you need it.

third: gunnin' down hoes
killing is fairly simple. aim the mouse and click the mouse when your crosshairs are on someone's face. if you dont hit them in the head it often takes twice as long to kill them. headshots are almost instant death. the most important thing to remember when shooting is to shoot in burst. this means 1-3 shots at a time NOT 5-10. the advantage to shooting in burst is a HUGE increase in accuracy and a more conservative use of your ammunition. another way to increase your accuracy is to crouch down when shooting at targets. WARNING: avoid crouching from close range (its a good way to get your own head blown off). if you shoot full-auto from 50+ feet away you will NEVER hit your target. shoot in bursts and you will see your game improve dramatically.

fourth: use your ears
the best way to find the enemy will always be to listen for him. from beginning to end of each round keep your ears attentative to the slightest sounds wich could be the CT's taking the hostages or your enemy reloading or even just the footsteps of an enemy about to round the corner. enemys can walk quitely so remember that just because you cant hear them doesnt mean they're not there. keep in mind that enemys can use their ears the same way you can use yours so walk slowly to mask your footsteps if you think someone is listeneing. if you must have music then please only use it for a few games to get warmed up and pumped up, then shut it off so you can hear the game.

if you're not in the habit of shooting in burst, then start practicing it: shooting burst is the only way you can compete with some of the powerhouses that compete in this game.
remember, when playing with clanmates, its NOT all about you: play as a team, stick together

if you've got any ideas or strats post em'

Oh, there's Moneyshot. Telling us what we should do. Of course he's the one that is the worst on this forum.

[ul3.Xxplosive]

by burst do u mean spray cuz thats how i get my victims so

they is another strategie i found that holding a pistol u could still run as fast as when ur holdin a knife .....i think its better cuz if u run into an enemyu could start shooting take cover then pull out ur m4 or whatever u have-i say this so that u can weakin the enemy then kill em easier... try it----------------------------

I have recently changed my corsshairs and have been shooting a bit better. they were normal and now they are small and dark blue. Try it sometime with a different siz and color and see how it works for you.
