999cop Posted April 23, 2002 According to 4-19-02 Theforumz.com's news Thresh's 'Counter-Strike' Tips Gutspiller Fri 19 Apr 2002, 11:44 AM - 1 Comment (Last Poster dzjepp) Do not overlook the effectiveness of pistols in the latter rounds of a game. Aside from the Deagle, pistols are the weakest weapons in the game, but their versatility, general accuracy, and the increased mobility they allow make them deadly weapons even against heavily armed opponents. Allow me to explain. I'm not suggesting you take on a fully armored, AK-47-wielding opponent with simply a USP. What can be effective, however, is switching to a pistol if you find yourself in a close-to-mid-range rifle battle. Say you've both taken damage from the rifles, but due to the inaccuracy of the rifles while moving, neither of you can finish the other off. This is a good time to whip out the pistol. Use the ability to shoot accurately while jumping/strafing to finish off your opponent. Meanwhile, he's sitting there crouched, trying to reduce the recoil of his rifle. Common knowledge to hardcore players, Mr. Fong loses his touchCS... http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/answerstips/story/0,24330,3381119,00.html 0 Share this post Link to post

Lord FlatHead Posted April 23, 2002 Tresh's Firingsquad.com has been just as nuts about Counter-Strike as the rest of the homosexual community in the past few years. Nothing new. 0 Share this post Link to post
nxn Posted April 23, 2002 I tried counterstrike a few years back. Honestly the people I played with were pretty nice with the fact I was a newbie. I didn't like the game itself, slow moving, and I kept getting shot in the damn head. Maybe I just didn't have the month to give untill I actually got good at it. Oh well, Doom DM is still the funnest thing I've played. Although I don't DM anymore, why? I don't know. 0 Share this post Link to post

nxn Posted April 23, 2002 If there's one thing I like more about the half life community over this one is that most of them take the time to make their project/mod/clan web site look pretty damn well. Other then that they're over populated for my likings. 0 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted April 23, 2002 I played Counter-Strike a LOT back in the days of Beta 3 and Beta 4, before the entire idiotic world started playing it. Call me an elitist or whatever, but I don't want to play with your average waste of oxygen, which is why I don't play any multiplayer games anymore. 0 Share this post Link to post

nxn Posted April 24, 2002 if you want to be technical DMing is a part of DOOM, and DW is about DOOM to it's fullest. Then again, who am I to judge this site, I only visit the forums and haven't read the news in a long time. (browsed into the news forum by mistake) 0 Share this post Link to post

Captain Red Posted April 26, 2002 *sigh* As soon as i saw a reference to a popular non-doom game, i knew that at lest half of the replies would be "I hate it!". I mean, i know this is a doom site and all, but EVERY TIME It really starts to get old... I will admit that I personally think it's a bit overrated, but geez, I rather play it over the vanilla doom.exe deathmatch any day. also, I half agree with ling in regards to when a game becomes too popular. I sometimes wish there was a "set chat 0" command in the quake consol. One of the resions i come here is it's a nice(ish), small like-minded community. 0 Share this post Link to post

But just about anyone hates CS. Maybe there's a reason? o_O 0 Share this post Link to post
