Now I have the game all legit and stuff, but I'm finding it hard to get into the game, alot of pro's who know the maps and just hammer me into a corner lol

Would someone mind teaching me the ropes or is their a nice little server you guys run where I could stand half a chance
 
we have a d2 deathmatch, where when u die u just respawn straigh away, thats the best way to learn the dust2 map and get decent aim imo, u have a choice of all the guns aswel so u can see which 1s feel best for u, but as everyone will say, just takes practice mate and it will come together.

d2 deathmatch ip: 212.69.36.85:27015
 
I've been up all night with puppies so pretty tired but gonna install CSS and find that server and have a better bash in the morning I think :)

im in the same boat as you, im still pretty rubbish. I cant pratice on this pc as its connected wireless to my router so pings time will be crap. may have a resuffle one day.
 
Just reinstalled CS:S myself, was thinking about having a go :) Think I might pop on that server listed above if that's okay, could use the practice. Used to play it a lot a while back, but kinda got sick of people looking through 1 pixel gaps for people to headshot with those 2 sniper rifles :(
 
I love the game.. Just practice lol.. i might have to have a look at the OC3D servers like.. :) wat are all the I.P's?? Ive been playing since it came out and i was rubbish at first.. now im pretty good. I only started playing yesterday after a 2 month exam revision break aha.. :(
 
Tip: aim for the head, and always wait for the other guy to appear first. Sit back and be patient. Also, shoot automatic weapons in small bursts when they're long range. Holding the trigger is fine when they're right in front of you. (the enemy, that is)

In console, enter.

cl_cmdrate 100

cl_updaterate 100

rate 25000

After each of those, press enter. Your rates are now correct and you should register well in 100 tick servers and under.

Adjust your sensitivity till you find the sweet spot. Also adjust the crosshair to the appropriate size. Try cl_crosshairscale 2000 or cl_crosshairscale 3000 (my fav).

You may also want to invest in a nice gamer oriented mouse pad and or mouse with some aftermarket mouse feet. This actually helps your skill.

I hope I helped you out a bit.
 
I've 10mb down 512k up broadband wired via ethernet direct to my pc from the cable modem :)

And a Logitech G5 2000DPI laser gaming mouse :)

Nice mouse!

Only using a £3.99 random el-cheapo mouse myself, my MX700 died a while back and not forked out £40 ish for a new gaming one. Guess I should really :P
 
Yes you should :p the G5 is cheap especially at www.scan.co.uk although I got mine through OCUK and this is my 3rd one, I seem to bugger the right click on them after 10month got a replacement for my first one and then the replacment died so bought this one about 2month ago so, hoping its a little better.
 
Ive been using my MX510. It sucks but with high sensitivity and skates its ok to game with. I screwed up my Fatal1ty playing Nox and clicking really hard to much on the left mouse button.

As for the game, everytime i go to my best friends i try to play but like you i get tired of the pros and the hax04s. Bots can only go so far.

You should come on the D2 DM server when myself, Tox, OXo and others go on...I'm like the total CS:S noob :) But I have fun
 
That server where you upgrade guns for the more you kill, and steal levels with knife kills is well fun :) Had a good today, although done terrible, think I got about 8 kills and 30 deaths and around gun #3 :P Great fun however, although all my textures were yellow blocks with stuff like "Wall, 128x128" written on it
