Improving when you can't play CS:GO

Last words of the basic section, but also the most important

When you shoot ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS stand still. This is the basic of shooting. Practice this by going to This map. Aim at the bots head and shoot. Every time you kill a bot, move and continue.

This section is for newcomers. It will help you understand the basics and learn what to improve on.In Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO for short) they are two teams. One Counter-Terrorist (CT) and Terrorist (T) They is different maps in CS:GO, but if you play the bomb defusal mode (The main mode) They is two sites, A and B. Sometimes a middle or something else, but maps are different. Each side has 5 players. The T's job is to shoot they way into one of the sites, and the CT's job is to defend these sites. When the T's has planted the bomb the CT's has 45 seconds to retake the site. It takes 10 seconds to defuse a bomb, but 5 seconds if you have bought a kit.As basic as shooting is in CS:GO, it's one of the hardest things to master. You should just focus on a few guns. Every gun has a different spray pattern. When you start out, you should not focus on all 30 bullets. Only the first 5-10. Let me show you.The AK-47 is the most used gun in CS:GO. You can only buy the rifle on the T site.The AK-47 spray pattern is shown here. The left picture is where you bullets will go, if you don't control your spray.The right picture shows you, how you should pull your mouse (Up to down), to get a perfect spray.When you just start out, focus on the first 5-10 bullets. That's the (nearly) straight line.They is two ways you can practice it:1 - Go to an offline server, find a wall, start shotting and controlling your spray control.2 - Go to this workshop map. Both are great, and work just as good as each other. If you chose an offline server you have to write these commands in your console:sv_cheats 1 ; mp_roundtime 60 ; mp_roundtime_defuse 60 ; sv_infinite_ammo 2 ; mp_restartround 1Remember, all you have to do is pull down your mouse for like 5-10 bullets. Then continue, until the bullets are pretty close to each other. The great thing about this trick, is that you can do that with the majority of the guns.The two M4's is the CT's version of the AK-47. It has similar spray control, but not 100% the same. If you learn the 10 bullet-technique you can transfer it to the M4's aswell.First of all, you need to understand the differents between the two M4's.The M4A1-S is the least common of the two. It has less bullets, but it's more accurate. Therefore, more noob-friendly.The M4A4 has more bullets. It's less accurate.The majority of people can control the M4A4, so no need to have less bullets.The AWP is the most common sniper. I will not tell much about this, because they is already made an amazing video by WarOwl. The SMG's shoots faster, has more bullets, does less damage, you move faster with a SMG and have a higher kill reward. The SMG's are meant to be used close or medium range. A rifle will always have the advantage on long range and medium range.At the begginer level SMG's can sometimes win over rifles, but not when you get better at the game, so get a head start and use the rifles.Try to aim at where you think and enemy will appear. If you look at the pros, you can see that they crosshair never is placed randomly. It's always where and enemy will appear, so if someone appears you have to adjust your crosshair as little as possible. This is called crosshair placement. There is a section for it below. Under the section "Intermediate level CS".When you want to improve, but can't play CS:GO go watch some pro matches. Search on YouTube or maybe some is live. It does not even have to be top-level. Just someone that is better than you. Try to study the way they play. You will learn some new tricks and it's fun to watch pro games! -The pros have played countless of hours and sometimes they will do something stupid, but it works, because they aim is insane.Just keep that in mind.
