  • Hope yall enjoyed this little project. With these videos, I hope to help brand new players understand how to perform certain mechanics and also understand why these mechanics are needed in the first place. I understand that most people already understand these concepts, but CS has a difficult barrier of entry for people coming into the scene.
    The ideas come from my friends trying to play CS2 for the first time, but I hope to help everyone.
    Thanks!
    So, you just switched over from a children’s video game and are now
    ready to be an absolute Counter Strike giga Chad?
    But how are you supposed to dominate the playing field when it feels like you have
    ice skates on every time you move??? When your bullets are not going where your crosshair is??
    Well then, welcome to the first episode of BREAKING THE BARRIER,
    a series that tries to destroy the barrier of entry for Counter Strike 2 and explain
    fundamentals of the game to new people. And today’s lesson? Movement and Counter Strafing!
    The Source 2 game engine uses acceleration and deceleration
    when it comes to movement. This means that when you press a movement button,
    it will take some time before you reach your max speed, and when that button is released,
    it will take some time before you to stop, aka, the ice skate feeling you may notice.
    This is important when considering shooting accuracy, , which is closely tied to movement
    speed. You are most accurate when standing still, and the faster you are moving,
    the less accurate you become. And due to momentum, if you shoot immediately
    after letting go your movement key, you will still be moving and inaccurate.
    All good players use something called COUNTER STRAFING to slow down and reach
    peak accuracy faster. The main idea is to release your movement key and then
    tap the opposite movement key to cancel out any motion you have. This allows you
    to slow down almost immediately and shoot. As a summary, to stop faster,
    press the movement key of the opposite direction you are currently moving to stop faster.
    And if you take this idea and repeat it going left and right, you will be counter strafing
    back and forth, timing your shots with the brief moment you are standing still. This makes you are
    hard target to hit, while still being extremely accurate. It works especially well with pistols!
    bell rings sound
    Alright, class is now over! I hope you were taking
    notes! Come back to next time where I will teach you to lick your own elbow!

    great explanation and definitely broke the barrier for me personally. getting into counter strike can be so daunting when you have no knowledge of either the WHY or the HOW behind some of the obscure mechanisms like counter strafing that exist in the game - both of which were expertly laid out in this seminar; liked + subscribed & looking forward to the next guide on elbow mechanics to up my game even further!!

    Nice video ,back to the roots of 1.6 , but that works only, if you have no inputdelay or desync to reach the usual acceleration
