You described "baiting"

[@wek33]

And it's the good baiting too where you relieve the pressure off your mates that are stuck, and not just running in late after everyone's already dead. As long as it ends in a trade or makes the enemy fall back, I call it a success.

[@nihilist1680]

@@wek33 Often they just see the enemy and panic. I've experienced it many time for example in Vertigo when the teammate yells it's mid and he needs help and I go to help him and the enemy in mid is stalling and then the other one comes from stairs and gets me from behind or something like that. I usually trust my radar more if I'm playing with someone I haven't played before. If I see 2 enemies on the radar, then I can move from my spot or if I can clearly hear 2 enemies somewhere. But until then I stay on my spot and just wait. That is of course on CT side only. I play differently on T side.

[@nihilist1680]

@@koolaidcrusade7776 ​ When I play with someone I know we communicate like this: ''steps'' or ''scope'' Help with utility if possible. Both stay on their spots. ''multiple steps'' Help with utility if possible. Move closer quietly. ''1'' Help with utility if possible. Both stay on their spots. ''2'' Help with utility if possible and go help teammate. ''1 rushing'' Help with utility if possible.. Stay on spot that is closest to ally but still hold an angle and be ready to help teammate. ''2 rushing'' Help teammate with utility if possible and go help fast. When there's no info then the enemy is waiting so we also wait if we're on CT side. The list goes on. We don't usually tell other what to do because we know by the info we get what to do and we know how each other plays and the teammate knows what I do when he gives me info. The only time we tell each other what to do is when we play on T side and one of us has a plan. We may say something like. ''Wait'' I'm setting up some nades. ''Flash'' Look behind because this flash can flash you too. But when we throw a flash without calling it we know that we can play normal because it's a good flash. ''Time'' 15 seconds left. Time to make a decision, save, plant or kill. Your choice buddy.

[@tobiasmills9647]

I've never understood why people hate the auto sniper.

[@Adrian-fl9ud]

Its not that people hate the autos its just a respect thing, a gentlemans agreement for lower ranked lobbies i guess. Because the autos take a lot less skill to use then any of the other weapons, and the only reason there not the meta in pro play is because theyre not worth the eco and all pro players have the skill and aim to get the same value out of a usp, ak, m4, or ssg. So the auto is mainly used to get easy kills against newer players and thats why most people dislike it.

[@qSeverity]

or simply if you get killed they could get a huge advantage

[@moupipics]

quick switch reduces sound because switch sound is only audible to you thus reducing the possibility of getting killed (the bolt action is the loudest sound in most cases)

[@aster_ISK]

nope, the reload sound plays completely even if you QS, philip tested this, it used to work before CSCZ if I remember correctly

[@maxskogh6289]

That's a myth and it has been busted. Quickswitch is neither quicker or less audible.

[@white_mage]

yeah i noticed there was some kind of a cyrclejerk going around this game so i just play deathmatch now. deathmatch rules: if you're good with shotguns or pistols (unless its the deagle) you'll be kicked. the only weapon allowed to have a scope is the awp. using any other scope will get you kicked. if you camp and someone rages at you, vote kick that someone and everyone will vote yes. if they vote no it means its you getting kicked instead. if someone starts raging and someone else rages back, vote kick that someone else. when this happens it usually ends in at least 3 more players getting vote kicked for no reason. if someone is playing with a friend and you're in the top 3, leave the game because they'll kick the top 3 so they win instead (waste of xp) don't strafe while you shoot, deathmatch players are defenseless against this. yes you'll be kicked. always vote mirage or inferno. don't use the zeus. don't use graffiti. dust 2 is king.

[@postblitz]

You drop weapons at endgame/halftime because pressing G is among the only things you can do at that point which interacts with the game.

[@ondraspendlik9759]

Ahh, crossing in front of AWPers... Well, I'll admit it, I sometimes do it. But only when the AWPer leaves me no other choice. For example if he peeks an angle and holds it, hugging the wall with his back, while we're running out of time to plant/defuse the bomb or get the kills. Or on Dust 2, when the AWPer gets a better spawn, goes straight to watch mid and hugs the wall at the back, leaving no other space for the B players to cross to B other than through his crosshair.
