This is more like a tutorial that i wrote ages ago and saved on my laptop

1) First of all you need to get a few simple changes done to your config.cfg, such as getting a quick weapon switch aliase running rather than using the standard weapon change menu. This will greatly speed up the switch of AWP & your side arm. Why is this so important? Well you move faster using a side arm or knife in hand than carrying a fully loaded AWP rifle.

So fast switch between AWP & side arm for faster movement around maps & to get out of danger quicker. The use of fast weapon switch between AWP & your chosen side arm also greatly speeds up your zooming out. By switch weapons instead of zooming out you will save vital time and could mean the difference of life & death.

2) You need to get the feel for the aim this will only come about by playing more & more with the weapon in first Sniper deadicated servers then more into standard public servers. I rcommend the UK2Net Sniper servers to get started on as there is a good mix of skilled & non skilled players.

3) Scan quick & don't leave you scope zoomed too long! When I say this what I'm talking about is high speed and good quality scanning of the target zone. Don't hange about in full zoom & move around the map... You will be open to attack. To see other players it's better to remain zoomed out and only zoom when taking a shot or to scan an area. If you watch the pro's play they scan areas very fast & pin point precision not missing any possible hiding spot or window that another player maybe hiding in.

4) Be fast but hiden. The sniper is best when not seen but camping can be a bad move if you are in a bad position as one or two shots will give away your location to others. It's good to scan the map ahead but be quick about it, don't hange about or you will find the lights go out!

5) Aiming with the weapon is not a skill that only the elite can have. If you find you take shots but never hit or kill anything then I ask you one simple question. Did you move to get out of danger when you took the shot? The AWP & other sniper weapons will only ever hit if you remain still when the shot is taken. Never run behind a wall when taking the shot because although your crosshair may have been on the target the shot will almost always go completely off target.

The best thing to do is jump out fast and while in the air go full zoom & line-up with the zone you expect to see the enemy in. As you land go straight into ducking mode reposition your crosshair if needed and take the shot, then get out of sight/danger. If you find the player isn't in your zoomed field of vision then counter react or get back out of sign QUICK!!

6) Watch your back, When using AWP your use of sound is far greater. You must keep track of who is where all the time. Sound will give away the location of players and using AWP you will be far more open to attack and will need to covery your six o'clock position from knife attacks and like wise.

You also need to think about where you place yourself within the map. some objects can be shot through like boxs, corner of walls, class windows, doors and even some walls have areas where bullits from high power weapons can penetrate.

The super elite players equiped with full blown A3D Sound can track movement from any player on the map whether or not he/she can be seen. Taken some one out from behind a wall is a skill that comes from time & use of sound, sneaking around maybe slower but in some situlations it's the best means of staying alive.

I really dont understand this awp mess, the awp is a bad, sluggish, and cumbersome powernoob stick. a skilled masterful player can easily shred you with almsot any other gun *cough*scout+deagle+knife*cough* i really hate the way the awp feels, and practicing, you have a HIGHER potential skill with the scout. getting used to it is far more rewarding than an awp. a sneaky scouter is the ultimate offensive and defensive weapon, closing in on them will only earn you a knife or a swift deagle to the head.

I quick scope and I find it very effective.

I have to say that small "tutorials" given by the senior CS players really are thorough. I was never good with the AWP and I guess I never really bothered to get better at it. I have watched people use it and it was just amazing how quick their reaction time was, and how well they could aim in a matter of seconds. These little tricks seem to help and I have seen a lot of people use them especially the quick scope. I think I might start practicing with the AWP. I know I probably wont be some 60-0 player with it at the beginning but all guns take practice I suppose.



Actually a lot of the time this isn't that great because while you may think it is a good idea, when you are moving the AWP becomes extremely inaccurate. If you were sitting still to aim with it, you should probably just scope. If he is too close then you should just go for the pistol in my opinion. But then again that is just me. I have seen some people do this, and even though it gives a small advantage it really isn't that reliable.

Awp isnt a noob weapon if you noe how to use it, I dun use it myself but I'm learning how to beat it, best technique on how to beat awp is smoke nades. Throw it in between you and awper, therefore he can only kill you once you appear infront of the smoke, by then you will be close enuf to spray at him, giving him an instant death.

The awp is one of the top 3 weapons in css, You aim at peoples chest you hit them, they die, you miss your shot or there's more than one, you die if you're not fast enough, if they have an awp or have a ak/deag/m4, you have equal chance.

NOW GTFO PUBLIC BADDIES

Nothing really
How You Handle Awp?

YOOO some good tips is stand still and walk most of the time..Never ever rush with an awp...Ummm. When your taking cover and you want to kill some1 by surprise..Jump out of cover and still still and take your dead aim shot...When your noscoping...Walk and never run.Yeah most of you may know the quick pull out...As soon as you shoot press 2,1 or hit qq like he said.Just practice like I did and you will be pro.

Mostly I do no scope and dragshot. And I never pressed Q button twice ONLY IF a enemy is near. Waiting for the bolt action animation is faster than switching weapon.

Compliments to CrazyShooter for that enlightening tutorial.

Its a very important factor in teamplaying games, to understand the versatility of the players and their preferred equipment. People normally think that an sp (thats what they call a Sniper, where I live) is a sitting duck without Assaulter cover. This type of thinking leads them to lose the round/map. I'm an Assaulter in my team... And I know my Sniper very well. I know that when he's stuck in a very compromising position and we cant get to him in time, he thinks rationally, and takes steps accordingly. Sometimes its important to feel, rather than brood on mechanics. He basically prefers a Deagle or a USP as a sidearm. Deagle more, because of its Muzzle Velocity and its ability to shoot through walls and such.

I'd like to agree with most of the comments here that say its good to switch to your sidearm or knife after a shot, as it decreases the time you need to reload. Also, it's advisable to double duck while moving as it takes you faster and doesnt make noise. Though, when about to take a shot, walk, stop, shoot, and scram- technique works well

Quick-scoping (I guess thats what you guys call it), is called "Flicker" here. Pressing both buttons at the same time, so that you see the scope for a fraction of a second and you shoot the same time. It is also a very useful method.

But as a strategist, I'd like to point one thing out. Even if you are a Sniper, you should have command of the assaulting weapons as well, because if you dont then in the worst case senario, you'll end up saving the whole match and not get an AWP or even a Scout, that you can keep for long.

Hope that helped!
