  • Gameplay: Survival-focused with a shrinking play area.

3. Basic Gameplay Mechanics:

• Movement:

  • Walking: Use the "W," "A," "S," "D" keys to move. Hold "Shift" to walk silently.
  • Crouching: Press "Ctrl" to crouch, which improves accuracy and hides your profile.
  • Jumping: Press "Space" to jump, but avoid jumping excessively as it affects your accuracy.

• Shooting:

  • Recoil Control: Learn to control the recoil of weapons by pulling the mouse in the opposite direction of the recoil pattern.

• Weapon and Equipment:

  • Buying: Use the in-game buy menu ("B" key) to purchase weapons and equipment. Different weapons are available in different rounds.
  • Economy Management: Manage your in-game economy by making smart decisions on purchases and saving money when needed.

4. Key Strategies:

• Teamwork:

  • Communication: Use voice chat or text chat to communicate with your team. Call out enemy positions, coordinate strategies, and share information.
  • Roles: Assign roles such as entry fragger, support, or AWPer to team members based on their strengths.

• Map Control:

  • Learning Maps: Familiarize yourself with common map callouts, choke points, and bomb sites. Maps include Dust II, Mirage, Inferno, and more.
  • Positioning: Use cover effectively and be aware of common spots where enemies might be hiding.

• Economy Management:

  • Buying Rounds: Plan purchases based on the team’s financial situation. Buy armor, grenades, and rifles strategically.
  • Saving: If your team is low on money, consider saving your weapons and equipment for future rounds.

• Grenades:

  • Smoke Grenades: Use smoke grenades to block sightlines and create cover.
  • Flashbangs: Use flashbangs to disorient enemies before pushing or engaging.
  • HE Grenades: Use high-explosive grenades to damage enemies in confined spaces or clear common hiding spots.

5. Advanced Tips:

• Crosshair Placement:

  • Head Level: Keep your crosshair at head level to improve accuracy and reaction time.
  • Pre-Aiming: Pre-aim at common angles where enemies might appear.

• Map Knowledge:

  • Callouts: Learn and use standard callouts for each map to communicate effectively with your team.
  • Bomb Sites: Understand common plant spots and retake strategies for each bomb site.

• Game Sense:

  • Sound: Use in-game audio cues to detect enemy movements and positions. Pay attention to footsteps and gunfire.
  • Timing: Learn to time your pushes and rotations based on the state of the round and the enemy’s positions.

6. Common Mistakes to Avoid:

• Rushing: Avoid rushing into areas without proper information or coordination. It can lead to easy eliminations for the enemy team.
• Ignoring Communication: Always communicate with your team. Lack of communication can lead to disorganized gameplay and missed opportunities.
• Buying Too Early: Don’t waste money on unnecessary purchases. Buy based on the team’s needs and the current round’s economy.
