New to CS, need help

[bigjake_the1]

Is there a guide, or somewhere to go to really learn about the game? I just started playing a few days ago, and I suck apparently. I have tried googling some info, but it isn't really helping. I play on servers, and regurlarly get killed constantly by people with one shot even if I am running, ducking, weaving or whatever. I can shoot at people, hit them 3 times, and they are still alive? I know this happens, because some servers show stats of hits and info. I realize I will probably get better aim, but I rarely live long enough to really get a chance.
Also, I know this sounds sad, but where do you learn basics of some of keys? I can move, shoot, use scope/silencers, but here is something simple. What do you do to plant bomb? I have no game info, I bought game used. I have only had the bomb a couple times, but I have been killed each time before planting it.
I am complete **** when it comes to this game, but the servers I try to play on seem to have almost all superb players. I hate to be so terrible that I am a complete disadvantage to any group.
Any useful info will be greatly appreciated.

To plant the bomb you hold down the fire button when you have the bomb in your hand.

I suggest plaing deathmatch to improve your aim. Basically when you die you automatically respawn and you can choose weapons without having to buy them. Also make sure you buy kevlar and a helmet when you can.

You can view the buttons if you go to options > keyboard.

If you have any other questions send me a pm. Where about are you from? If your in europe or whatever. Shoot me a pm and we'll find an empty server and i'll give you some tips.

I know just how it feels, I have been playing Css for about a month and a few weeks now and when I first started I always got my ass kicked. When you start Css go to options and then go to keyboard. All the keys are there. It will take awhile to get good, control recoil, learning to shoot right, all that. Some people have been playing for years and know certain maps inside out.

Try playing on your own made server with bots to learn the basics, put them on easy, move up to normal, and keep going until they are at hard. If you can kill bots on hard then you have a chance at playing with other people. Fact is this, if you are playing with others and are new to Css you will just get head shot and killed easily. Like for example, if you are using the Ak-47 don't just hold down the shoot button because the recoil will be so bad you will point at something and not hit it at all. Just tap the shoot button and let off a few shots. Weapons like the Ak-47 and M4A1 are deadly when used in bursts.

To plant a bomb switch through your weapons and find it, then hold down shoot once at the bomb site. Let it say "the bomb has been planted" and then it is planted.

I suggest going to options, keyboard, advanced, and turning on quick switch. So you can use your mouse scroller to get to weapons fast.

Plus if you are hiding behind walls and boxes for examples rifles and some other guns can go right through them. So the walls don't always provide the best cover.

One last thing I suggest is to never sit for too long, always move, and turn your volume up and wear good ear phones. Say if you are verses someone else, sitting and waiting for him/her, and you hear someone coming from the left. Look at your map and see if it is a team mate, and if it's not, then get ready to jump out at him/ her. Listening and using your map can really help.

Just keep at it, it might suck in the begginning, you will die a lot. I mean a lot, but you will get better. Try playing on a deathmatch server aswell, if you die you respawn and don't have to wait for the game to end. This way you can practice your aim.

Repeated mose of what i said. But he's right about the recoil and sound. Seriously though feel free to hit me up on steam. I'd glady walk you thorugh some maps and give some tips.

Also, you need to realise that each gun reacts different to one another. I play on gun game all the time to improve my aiming and reliability with weapons that i made need to use on standard servers. Gungame is a mod on the original cs:s servers where everyone starts on glock and moves up through pistols when they kill someone to shotguns, then smgs, then autos....snipers etc, untill they reach the machine gun. From there its grenade and knife dependent on which server you are playing.

I suggest you practice not only on deathmatch servers, but deathmatch gun game servers.

To find gungame servers, serch for maps with the gg_ before the map name

for example..... gg_lego_arena is one.

Practice on these untill you feel like u own....then take it from there.

Hope this helps abit....not a strategy, but may help nonetheless.
