To become a professional at cs(cs 1.6) it takes a while.
But to make it easier for you guys, here are some tips to improve your game and make you a professional a bit faster!

1) When shooting from distance, don't hold down the shooting button, instead, tap the shooting button while crouching and aiming at the head. Maitain two or three bullets per streak.

2) Use the walk button! It great when playing games when there's not many people on. When you walk (Hold down shift normaly) it makes it impossible for others to hear you!

3) Use crouch, When you crouch, your aim becomes a lot steady and makes it easier for you to head shot the opposition! It can also confuse your opponment if the think you are standing up when your are actually crouching!


4) When you see your enemy first declare your aim and then crouch, keep moving until you get a stable aim and you are confident to take your enemy down.

5) When knifing, use your right-click button on your mouse to attack! If you use the left-click button, it is called slapping and is very weak and can take up to 6-7 hits to kill someone, if you right-click which is called actually using the knife correctly it would take 2 hits to kill someone! And from back side it is called stab and would take your enemy down in a single stab.

Best Weapons to use:

There is no best weapon in the game, e.g. the machine guns is the most expencive gun in the game and has got the worst aim!

The guns you should not buy:

1) The first pistol on the pistol menu (The gun terrorists have for free)

2) The first rifle on the rifle menu (Only available to terrorists)

3) NIGHT VISION, only buy if you have dark spots in the map.

4) Machine gun which costs a fortune and it's so hard to aim with but when you throw a smoke grenade, you should shoot randomly and you should get few kills.

With this information you would improve heaps and might become a professional.

5) If you can't shoot without the cross hair or reticle (the + in the middle of the screen) don't use the sniper rifles


I disagree with alot of that.


If you want to improve faster, find yourself a deathmatch with about 10 people on it and run around using your favorite gun and that only for as long as posible. Using that one gun will teach you what distances it is good at, the recoil etc.


If you are firing long distances, try to never run / walk around while firing. We have all got some sick running headshots before but the majority come from strafing, stopping briefly and letting rip 1 or 2 bullets.

Try to fire in bursts with automatic weapons. Try to never spray unless you could slap the person you are firing at in close range. At long to medium range with any automatic gun try to strafe, shoot a bullet or two, strafe, etc.

Learn your maps! Seriously this is the best advice you can get. Being able to run around Wan Deaging everyone won't help if you dont know where your enemy is going to come from. Run around the maps, watch demo's of teams playing, spectate some pub, anything to teach you where people camp or watch from. When you come round corners, aim your crossair on these places.


This guide will not help you become pro at CSS, not will it help you much atall. Try and get yourself in a helpful clan that often plays matches (But only low skill ofcourse) and does training often to help you learn maps. You can play public for years and only get to a certain skill, you need a clan to get pro.

I agree with much of the above, but snipers are the backbone of a good CS team! A true pro can headshot 4 out of 5 times with an AWP. I strongly suggest learning to use the AWP as an offensive weapon. You may think headshotting an opponent with an AWP is impossible, but it is one of the best ways to show off your "pro-ness".

If you want something more "pro" than the AWP, try the scout. Yes, it is weaker, but a headshot is always a one hit kill and requires much skill.
