CS source

[frankie385]

how do you autosnipe in source?

[Force Flow]

You use the autorifle; each side as a different type. On some servers, it's considered quite cheap and has been banned from weapon selection.

[wolfie]

yes i would think that has a cheat.

[StickEGreenleaf]

On my server we have it banned. It's a cheap kill in our view.

We also have AWP banned. We still cary the scout since it take a little more skill. It's better that way so you don't have an entire server sniping and 3 people running round attempting to accomplish the objective.

[Jaggannath]

Autosniping is lame... it takes the point out of having some skill

[frankie385]

The reason I started this thread is, well for that reason, cause autosnipe is lame and it irritates me in every possible way!

[Jaggannath]

Just find a server that has it banned and play in that then.... or better still, start your own server At least that way you get to decide the rules

[Jester]

being in CAL (Cyberathletic Ameture League) I can testify that the AWP and Autosnipers are not lame. They cost alot for a reason and do actually take some skill to get a kill with. IF you now how to move when being shot at the autosnipe has to much recoil to be affective against you all the time. As for the awp... it is very finiky and you hav to take time to line up and get the shot. In that time an ak can take out an awper faster than they can zoom in.

Very interesting point of view. I am quite skill at evading getting shot at. The problem, I think, is when they (other players, including noobs) use some type of hack. In addition, it would be very easy for me to just create a server and ban the AWP and autosniper and just shut the F#$%# up, but I have chosen not to, as stated above, it takes skill to master these rifles. all in all the gme is just phenomenal and perhaps the game play should be more balance, NO F@^&@!#$ CHEATING!

the awp takes skill i dont know why every one hates it u cant even run when u shoot or it is very unacurate

CAL is a joke if you ask me. For Halo they had all these rules in place that made it so players couldn't do things meant to be in the game. One of the biggest was "No vehicles other than ghosts on human structures." That is just pathetic. If it can fit, it was meant to go there.

[Jester]

Competative play is no joke. It is just different than pubbing. In soccer you can't pick up the ball and run with it even though you "Can do it" your not allowed to. At the same time every league, be it CAL or TWL, has rules. That is part of competative play. You maybe able to drive a hog into a building in a pub server, but you can't in league play becuase it detracts from the competative play. There is a reason for every rule. As far as the cheating goes thats why i perfer scrimages and matches to pubbing. Cheaters are taken more seriously and thus punsished in a timely maner. You also have server admins in the pubs, if the server has a strong admin mod then they are taken care of.

[shadowbreaker513]

Just CAL does that with the hogs. That's why I prefer TWL and TCLN.

[Jester]

Yes but having also been in TWL, OGL, and UGS. The better more "going pro" oriented clans are in CAL.

How can you evade an autosniper after you get hit once? When I get hit once I start pannicking and by the time I can locate the sniper I'm dead. The only time I can kill an autosniper is if I can come from behind him, or he has to reload... They're tough to confront out in the open unless you've got a sniper rifle or REALLY good aim...

[Force Flow]

I'm horrible with sniping. On the rare occasion that I feel like sniping, I grab the autorifle and just pepper my target.

[Jester]

I avoid awp and autosniper shots all the time. Just keep moving. Most snipers are going for a head, or mid body shot. If you keep moving this becomes more difficult and you are more likely to get hit in the arm or leg. You will see the damage indicator come up on the screen so you know where you got shot from and the genarl direction. Move in that same direction quickly as the sniper will be trying to line up in anticipation of you moving the different direction. As for finding them, don't worry about it. Think of it as a team game not a I got the most kills game. Which is better winning the round for your team and getting more money, or letting the team loose because you got greedy and went for the kill?

Stay calm. Nothing more satisfying than taking out an autosniper with a Deagle.

heh, know what's better? Sneaking up behind them and knifing them.

I like leaving little "present" nades for people behind me. I kill them after I die.

[Jester]

Post mortem nades are the best I always have one cocked and ready if i think im going to run into a whole slue of aggressors.

[Jaggannath]

Agreed with the nades... I particularly love it when you get to see a knife fight
I have no problem with AWPing, I just think it takes more skill to use other weapons.
And I still maintain autosniping is lame, it's just my opinion and I'm sticking to it

[Bud Light]

Hey guys sorry to interupt you but where in the h do you buy counterstrike source? Ive dont searches and looked at a few different online stores but cant find it. I don't like to leave my house so can anyone provide a link where i could possibly check out the price of this beast of a game.

It comes with HL2.

[shadowbreaker513]

Not all autosniping is cheap contrary to popular belief. For example, I rawn into another guy on the aztac bridge and he jumped off when he saw that I had an autosniper. I fell off after him, fired a single unzoomed shot while falling, and got a perfect headshot on him. He complained that I was being cheap. Still waiting to figure out that logic.

So is it included with that or do I have to get this http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...128-126&depa=0

it comes with half life 2, you just get more stuff with the higher priced one

[Yuanji]

if you can, i'd probably buy the silver package from valve as for 5 dollars more, you get much more. you also get HL1:Source and DoD:Source when it comes out

[shadowbreaker513]

Is there any way to get those two without buying a second copy of Half Life? I bought retail thinking I could just buy the other ones off steam.

[Jester]

im sure it will become available by itself soon. I personally bought the bronze package cause i had everything elses and HL:source doesn't have updated graphics, so its just the same old game with updated physics making it just lame. And I could give two carrot sticks about DoD.
