Counter-Strike 1.6 is a very old game that over the years has become a legendary project and is still popular with gamers today. There are thousands of servers and tens of thousands of players around the world who still do not mind to plunge into the eternal confrontation between terrorists and counter-terrorists. But if you’re new to this shooter and are just learning about it, before you download CS 1.6, be sure to check out the article we’ve prepared for you. In this guide, we’ve put together some tips to help you become a more professional CS 1.6 player.
Quick Buying
Always try to purchase weapons as quickly as possible, as the administrators of many servers limit this phase of the game. Often you will be given only 10 to 15 seconds.
Eco-Round
Professional players often do not purchase weapons in the first round. This is done in order to leave funds for a larger purchase in the next round. This is known in pro slang as the “eco-round”.
The game of tactics
Counter-Strike is not a shooter game in which the primary objective is to win the fastest game. Tactical skills play a big part in this. So, if you’re playing as a Counter Terrorist (CT), your first priority is to protect the points where you can place a bomb. You’re not attacking head on. You are defending yourself. The same applies if you play as terrorists. Tactically bypassing the enemy, you have to plant the bomb. And only after that should you shoot the enemy players.
Noise can give you away
If in the middle of a round the enemy team has a numerical advantage or you’re left alone, feel free to use the shifter. This will allow you to create less noise, giving you a slight advantage over your opponents. The same goes for the flip side – always listen in the game, as your opponent can give himself away as well. It’s better, of course, to use a good headset.
The knife makes your character easier
At the beginning of the round or when you’re sure you’re not in danger switch to the knife as it makes you move noticeably faster.
If you’re standing or walking straight ahead, you’re an easy target.
There are many areas in the game with a lot of open terrain that’s easy on the eyes of your enemy’s sniper. Never stop in such areas and when running, use zigzagging techniques. This will increase your chances of surviving.
