Some tips to help you train and increase your skill. Hmm, for
now, I suggest you get Pod Bot. It's a fun bot to play with!
But for real tough training, try NNBot. It cheats, though.
===============================================================================
APPENDIX C -- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
===============================================================================
Q: When will the next version of the guide be out?
A: It can take me any amount of time to do an update. It mostly depends on
how much free time I have, as well as whether I have access to a computer.
I share a PC with my brother, so I don't have the freedom to work on this
just whenever. Sometimes, I get an update out in a week. Sometimes, a
month. Hopefully, the time lapse will never reach a year.
Rest assured, when a new version comes out, you will hear about it at
the mailing list.
Q: What mailing list?
A: The Counter Strike Weapons and Tactics Guide Mailing List. (CSFAQML)
I created it to notify people when a new version of the guide is out.
However, you can also use it to send me comments as well as talk about
the FAQ itself. To subscribe, send mail here:
Q: I want to post your guide at my web site! Please let me!
A: Go ahead. Who am I to argue? ^_^ Just don't change the content. You
could format it better to make it look more presentable, but please
don't make it say something it didn't, and kindly don't "cut and paste"
and plagiarize anything.
Q: How long have you been playing Counter Strike?
A: I've been on board since Beta 1, but I stopped playing at intervals.
I wasn't exactly impressed by Beta 1. But as more features and better
graphics came in, I began playing CS more and more, especially around
Beta 5, when the CS craze began overtaking the Action Quake and Rogue
Spear craze over here.
Q: What is your ICQ number?
A: Sorry, I don't have ICQ at the moment.
Q: Aw, but I wanted to have a match with you!
A: There've been a lot of people writing in, telling me that they want to
fight me. They think I'm a skilled player. Well, I'm here to debunk
that myth. I am actually a very average player in the LANs I frequent.
If you guys think I'm good, I'd love to introduce you to the people who
kick my ass on a regular basis! In fact, many of the techniques I detail
here were taught to me by these masters. I haven't even mastered many of
the techniques I discuss.
Q: So that means I can't have a match with you?
A: Not unless you frequent the LANs I go to. I don't play CS on-line,
sorry. Maybe when I get a DSL or cable connection. You can pray that
I get a DSL connection soon. I am applying for a DSL connection from
a certain service provider, but they are SO slow taking care of their
customers!
Q: How do I activate the console? HELP!
A: Read the revised portion of the guide. Section 5.a4, I think.
Q: The Mimic Technique won't work!
A: Good! I am finally beginning to realize that I am doing the CS community
at large a disservice by showing people how to do this cheap trick. While
my initial intention really was to educate people about cheats (and thus
take steps against them), I think what's happening is that more newbies
are swayed by the promise of the cheap power it gives. Don't use this
cheat! Grow strong with your own skills! Use this only if you and a bunch
of friends want to do it for fun. In the next revision, I may take out
how to do the 'bad' cheats altogether.
Q: Where is the MP5 guide? I want it now!
A: It's there already! Now you have to wait for the AK-47 guide....
Q: Where are the map specific techniques? I want to kick-ass in DE_DUST!
A: Sorry, that part of the guide is not even confirmed yet. It's really hard
to do it, because to properly explain such techniques I'd have to make a
diagram of the map. If ever, this will probably be the last thing I add.
I'm not a very graphically-oriented person, sad to say. Fortunately, there
are some sites on the net which provide map strategies. See the Links
section.
Q: What do you think of Estrada?
A: Yes, believe it or not, someone actually asked me this question! Only
one person did, though, so it's not really a Frequently-Asked Question.
Still, it was funny, and it was a foreigner who asked me this! I wanted
to put it here because it was fun and, if you think about it, it's quite
related to Counter Strike. A terrorist could plant the bomb in Estrada's
residence and solve the problem once and for all! Heck, I wouldn't be
surprised if a "Counter Terrorist" team would be sent to "silence" the
deposed president. I mean, the US tried to do that with Fidel Castro for
years, right? HAHAHAHAA!!!
Q: What about ? I want to know about it!
A: If you're writing a question about a specific game-related thing, be
sure to read the entire guide thoroughly. The answer might be there.
Failing that, I suppose it's alright to ask a clarifying question to me
directly. Just be patient, though, and use the [CS FAQ] tag.
Q: I want to contact you! Will you answer me?
A: If you're writing a friendly letter to chat, that's fine. If you're
writing in to point out a mistake, make a suggestion, argue a point,
or give criticism, that's alright. But I'd rather receive friendly
mail praising my name. ^_^;

i. DISCLAIMER:
I am not affiliated with Sierra, Valve, or the CS Team in any way. This is an
unofficial guide I am putting together, mainly for personal amusement, and as
an effort to help the growing Counter Strike community, particularly newbies.
You can do whatever you want with this file, because frankly I don't have
the time, interest or resources to do anything to you. However, I'd
appreciate it if you do not rip me off, and that you do not use this file
for any form of profit (or if you do, give me a cut! :) Using it for websites
to attract hits is fine. Anyway, bottom line is, I hope you acknowledge
whatever you do with this FAQ by giving me credit where it's due.
If you see any glaring errors, want to contribute something, want to disagree
with me, want to marry me, want to shout your head off, praise my genius, send
death threats, or whatever, feel free to e-mail. I'm open to suggestions or
whatever or what not, and since the information herein could be entirely
fallible and inaccurate. If you do send in something that I include, you will
be credited for it.
NOTE: Throughout the document I use the masculine pronoun. Call me
chauvanist, I don't care. I do it to simplify my writing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ii. CREDITS
I'm gonna give credit where it's due.
Gooseman - and the rest of the CS Team. Thanks a lot for making this addictive
game and wasting hundreds of hours of my life. I'll never get those hundreds
of hours back! And to think I also had quite a backlog from Action Quake....
Count Floyd - for making POD Bot, currently the best bot for CS and the bot
I use to get a fun work-out when I'm not fragging innocent humans. Hmm,
since I'm thanking Floyd-hakushoku I guess I should also thank Botman....
Terraknight - he wrote the first CS FAQ I saw on the web. It influenced and
inpsired me to write my own, I guess. While I don't agree with a lot of what
he said, I respect his opinions. While his work did inspire this, I did NOT
rip-off stuff from his FAQ! I swear! I would never shortchange a fellow
countryman!
Hal - for giving me a conscience
[EED] Beej - for Sig 550 and drawradar info
payataz_zealot - for telling me how to change weapon names
Paul Kerr - for all those tricks and techniques, such as the Bunny Hop
and the many useful links. Gomen if I didn't credit everything!
Wavehawk - for all the useful gun info tidbits and the long,
interesting conversations. Love Hina #8 is out.
avielh - for the baiting trick, cheap nightvision and other stuff
GenEx - my favorite party LAN for CS. Been there since Star Craft and Action
Quake, now we're still playing CS. Blech.
Glitch Snack Bar - for making those great tasting paninis for consumption
while killing terrorists and counter-terrorists alike.
GameFAQs - for giving this guide a home.
[gulay] Clan - One day I'm going to take over Counter Strike! MWAHAHAHAAA!!!
[GAY] Clan - for inspiring all those cowardly backstabbing techniques, thanks
guys! (er, gays)
If I forgot anyone, feel free to write in and give me a piece of your mind.
Good night!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
iii. ADDENDUM:
In the future, this guide hopes to have:
- More techniques; I'm sure I missed some
- Specific Map techniques
- Japanese sounding names for most, if not all, the techniques
- More funny-sounding quotes from anime and other media
- More links to useful sites
- Team tactics guide. Most of these tactics are personal; but true CS play
is teamplay
- Bot training guide to improve your skills in private
- Personal training tips
- no typos. I am lazy. I don't usually bother to edit.
- better editing. Too many wasted words.
- better formatting. An ASCII logo would look great.
- better organization.
- agent-based Damage Table for all Weapons, with and without armor.
Some tips to help you train and increase your skill. Hmm, for
now, I suggest you get Pod Bot. It's a fun bot to play with!
But for real tough training, try NNBot. It cheats, though.
